That's always been a problem, they're not interested.

Enable the option "ask to post bb when new game starts" and never post bb first hu. If sitting at a new table the 1 seat always gets the button first.

Sorry to hear you're unhappy with the promotion.

In regards to the post where I said "This uncertainty shouldn't prevent you from creating a PokerStars NJ account, as whether you maintain your ROW account or move to a PokerStars NJ account we will get you a fair resolution and you will receive the value of your FTP Points one way or another." This was aimed at players with ROW accounts inquiring about creating a PokerStars NJ account.

As you've correctly pointed out, ROW accounts had their Full Tilt Points balances converted to StarsCoin when Full Tilt moved to the PokerStars platform. The difference between U.S. Full Tilt Point balances and ROW Full Tilt Points is that when PokerStars agreed to acquire Full Tilt, one of the primary reasons was to make sure that Full Tilt players were made whole for their account balances and deposits which the previous owners had not re-paid. Our lump sum payment was more than enough to cover these balances. The agreement also made clear that PokerStars was not responsible for any of Full Tilt’s liabilities.

Lastly, any player can still relocate outside of the U.S. and verify their account to regain access to their Full Tilt Points balances until the end of this year.

Regards,
Dylan

Anyone else feel like they'd like to see a PSKO that is a little faster paced than the KO Fevers? Maybe like a 6:30pm $7.50 turbo PSKO. I enjoy PSKO formats a lot, but I feel like the KO Fevers can be quite slow sometimes.

100% agree, but I'd want one at a bit higher stakes, 25-60 dollar range.

New to the thread. Has PS partnered with a casino in AC to make withdrawals and deposits?

Is there a trick I'm missing to migrate my account from pokerstars to NJ? When I attempt to log in with my pokerstars info it recognizes the user/password & gives me an option to click to create an NJ account. After I click the link, it'll take me back to the original account creation screen saying my username is taken. When clicking the link saying I own that pokerstars account and log in again, it'll again take me to the page saying my username is taken.

What ever happened to the SCOOP tournaments being replayed with hole cards displayed?
07-06-2016 , 12:27 PM
I guess for PS Kieth or Luke:

ROW has Micromillions starting very soon.. any announcement for an NJ Series? You said we could expect NJ to mirror ROW. I just want people to have enough time to plan travels or time off, etc.

Is there any expectation or timeline for this?

don't know what the micromillions is. but partypoker ran some kind of microfest series one summer which seemed to get more recs playing. might be worth looking into

There was unfortunately a problem with the PokerStars NJ replayer which was recently fixed, but not in time to deploy the replays for SCOOP. Next time the replays should be up and running. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I usually only play tourneys, so I don't see this happening.

FTP points flushed.
I'm waiting on final approval from the DGE, but I am expecting that we will making an amendment to the promotion to allow us to offer players who have a StarsCoin Reward Challenge with a 20,000 StarsCoin Reward or more (which have 1,000 VPPs or more as a Challenge requirement) prorated value for partial progress made.

For example if you earn 500 of the 1,000 VPPs required for a 20,000 StarsCoin reward, you would be credited with 10,000 StarsCoin after completing the Challenge. Note that this will only apply to Challenges with a 20,000 StarsCoin reward or higher.

Thanks for the feedback.

Okay I play on all three sites...wsop, borgata and stars. Randomly i've been getting booted off of ONLY stars while in a session. At first I chalked it up as a coincidence but as this has happened multiple times now and its starting to get frustrating. I rarely if ever get geo issues so im starting to think this is a stars issue.. anyone else?

EDIT: It seems that restarting the software helps.. still very tilting and should not be necessary

What happend to all the satellites?

Not sure if this has been answered, sorry if it has, but will US players be able to play with the ROW in the future? Is there something happening to try and get everyone playing together?

@PSdylan/other PS guys

yeah sats suck on stars.nj

the sats they do have are the 5-1 sats. ie 20$ sat to win 100$ tik. those are really all they offer.

there should be sats that feed into 20,50,100,200 all day long. 10-1 sats. 5$ buyin pays 50$ tik w 5-10 seat Guar and 1$ rebuy pays 20$ tik w 5-10 seat Guar and so on.

plenty of players that wont buy into a mtt thats more than 20$ but would play a few 1$ rebuy turbo/5$ sats a day.

even during the recent series i dont recall seeing sats.

when PartypokerNJ was actually trying they ran daily:
1$rebuy turbo to 20$ w a guarantee of 10 tix
5$ freeze out turbo to 50$ w a guar of 10 tix
5$ rebuy turbo to 100$ w a guar of 10 tix

and on sat and sun they ran:
5$rebuy turbo to the 200 w a guar of 10 tix
20$ freezeout to 200$ w a guar of 10 tix


the above are worth a try imo. and it seems like more players are on PS now compared to PP then.

I'm going to assume you mean LICENSED ROW poker

[1] FEDERAL LEVEL: There's no U.S. federal-level plan to make that happen & it's highly unlikely there ever will be be such a plan at that level. The government approach is completely irrational given the billions of dollars in online sports betting & online casino gambling that's going to grey offshore sites which are thus not being taxed. Madness.

A Calvin Ayre article today finishes like this:
Quote:
A US state allowing – encouraging, even – its residents to access online gambling sites based in another country would represent a first, especially since the US federal government has spent untold hours and countless dollars preventing internationally licensed gambling sites from accessing the US market. Be on the lookout for flying pigs, y’all...


[2] STATE LEVEL:
That said there is some glimmer of hope for New Jersey it was revealed today. I suppose it's no coincidence that you've made your [probably gimmick] very first post on this day of all days in the NJ PokerStars thread...

Read this article entitled "New Jersey, UK Take First Steps Toward Sharing Online Poker Liquidity":
http://www.onlinepokerreport.com/214...layer-pooling/

I believe some States will eventually join LICENSED ROW poker, but it's going to be a right old mishmash. The easiest path will be if groups of States create a common legal framework + action plan to work together, but there's a lot of States who aren't driven to do anything at all for all sorts of reasons including politics, religion, history, isolationism, uninformed leadership. A lot of state & federal officials don't want to be seen as endorsing gambling - it's as touchy a subject as p0rn in a lot of the US political system.

Yet State lotteries & horse racing are cool. Go figure...

I agree with the above but I was wondering what happend to the usual satties because they were completely wiped off the schedule today.

Thanks for the reply.

This is my actual first post so no gimmick here, just coincidence.

thanks for the info

This would be beneficial to me. I have 2k in VPPS to clear. I'm trying to grind my way to clear the 40k in star coins it will be worth it if I make it but falling short would be disappointing.

Almost as disappointing as losing 27% RB and all those iron man medals : (
