2. Let's say my preferred currency is USD and I win a tournament that has it's prize in Euro and I haven't opened my account for another currency. This in general should be a bad thing as I'd loose a small % of the cash due to the autoconversion where it takes a cut of it?

I put money on Stars once in a while so it's probably better that I deposit in Euro the next time I do that instead of USD so there wont be any cut taken with the conversion, because I want to open it for another currency anyways so I have more cash tables to join to...
Did this ever get answered?

Does HEM2 automatically not show the stats you've collected on players from 6max when you're playing full-ring?

Okay so if I want only FR stats to be displayed on my FR tables, I'd go

HUD options > HUD Filters > In column "# Players", I'd look for the rownames "8" and "9" and "10" and change it to Min: 7 and Max:10 ?

No. The market is changing, though. Live poker is supposedly on the increase worldwide, but most online sites have seen drops in traffic in the last year, particularly because of the US situation. Poker is becoming increasingly popular in populous nations that aren't in recession, like China, India and Brazil, however. In short, it's the economy, stupid.

So why's the US situation so crap? I understand that a bunch of people lost their money temporarily to FTP (although it was perhaps believed to be permanent). Did so many US citizens really stop playing because they lost their rolls that they had deposited? From my limited understanding other sites accept US players .. Why didn't they all flood there?

Fear of losing money again, fear of possibly breaking the law, it's not always easy to deposit on sites, and cashouts take a long time on some sites.

The US DoJ seized the domain names of of the most popular sites (inc Pokerstars) effectively making them closed for US business, seized a ton of money, and shut down most of the payment processors (claiming wire fraud/money laundering). All TV advertising was immediately stopped, so even if the sites were operational, the recreational players didn't hear about them. The few sites that stayed open are shady at best, and face significant payment processing problems (and a lack of liquidity). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_..._v._Scheinberg

I thought the answer would be no, and it would be something to put on the feature request list, but actually it's already there. In HEM2's replayer, click on the "gear" icon to bring up HUD options. Deselect "Show known cards".

If you do start a thread, that's fine too, we're pretty casual in this forum. But hopefully this thread will catch a bunch of the simpler repetitive questions that come all the time and are easily answered.

There are two resources you should be aware of, the first is the Beginners Forum Frequently Asked Questions.

The other is WCGRider's excellent Need Help? Ask me thread.

That covers a lot of ground and should get you started, but if you're still lost, confused, or have questions, this is the place to be!
do we have forum sponsered buy in games and freerolls ?

When I select tables I look for highest VPIP/pot size. Sometimes I find a table with 30% VPIP but I join and it'll be 15/5 absolute nit table after 40 hands then I'll leave. I.E. the statistic was created as the table was going through its 2-5 handed formation phase.

Any way to say to Pokerstars "hey buddy, only give me table stats of those hands where it's been > 7 handed".

just start playing at the lowest limits. not to demoralize you, but you'll prob give up a few BIs before you start earning a consistant amount.
