Hi Brunolf87,

Congratulations on your MiniFTOPS XXIV success. In addition to your tournament earnings you’ve won the following prize(s):

MiniFTOPS XXIV Jacket


LOL, I had no clue that there is such a thing for final tabelists! Wonder how crappy (90s) the design will be

Yeah I've got a couple of jerseys coming you get to personalize them with a name if you don't bink.

Do not expect them in a hurry though.

Im not sure if i would accept the mini ftops avatar though because its tiny.

send a pic if you get yours from ftops!

I'm not sure about that, I have heard they are both gold and hideous.


I'm just planning to wear it around the house and torrment wifey with "will you make the FTOPS champion a cup of coffee?" or "How about making a sandwhich for the FTOPS champion".

It will amuse me for a day or so. Her less so I would imagine.

Thought this was funny

Well that was unexpected..

For those of you who have been suffering from these terrible connection issues and also for the lovers of Stars support.

For someone who has worked in customer services in the past, I don't remember patronising your customer's intelligence as being a top of the list but maybe things have changed.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for your patience in waiting for our response regarding your tournament refund request.

Earlier today, one of the major Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which provides a connection pathway to the PokerStars servers, experienced difficulties that caused connection problems for some of our players. As the ISP is a separate company, the issues were not within our ability to control.

However, everything appears to be back to normal at this time, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the connection issues.

We have reviewed your playing history for the tournaments in which you were experiencing some connection issues:

T# 855098014 - 7 USD
T# 854956852 - 7 USD
T# 855155408 - 7 USD
T# 855161616 - 7 USD

Total of : 28 USD

As we consider you a valued player at PokerStars, we have issued a credit of $28 to your account for the tournaments that were adversely affected.

Please understand again that we did not suffer any server-side problems or disconnection during these tournaments. Your issues seem to have been local to your computer or Internet Service Provider (ISP); otherwise many players would have been disconnected, and that was not the case.

Part of the inherent risk of playing poker on the Internet is the possibility that Internet connections may fail for any number of reasons. From a practical business standpoint, it is impossible for us to be responsible for the Internet connections of our players.

Rule 18 of our tournament rules states, in part:

"18. By participating in a tournament, a player accepts the risk of Internet disconnection, due to problems with the connection between their computer
and the servers, lag or freeze or some other problem in the player's computer or the Internet.

* a. PokerStars does not accept any responsibility for a player disconnect except in the case of a server crash."

The complete rule list is available on the PokerStars website:

http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/tournaments/rules/

For these reasons, we cannot make a practice of refunding tournament buy-ins in large batches of events like this and expect to continue running tournaments.

In closing, we appreciate your business and hope that you continue to enjoy playing at PokerStars.
Regards,

Fabian
PokerStars Support Team



Instead of advising players of a known issue they continue to collect the rake and hope players don't complain.

I logged in when the said the issue was fixed. It wasn't and I have claimed for further refunds.

Their twitter account notes an issue from the 22nd and I have spoken to players today who have been suffering since that date too.

If they admit culpability in anyway shape or form they open the flood gates for massive reclaims. I just hope for the day someone knocks them off the top/gives them some competition.

Anyone playing LAPC?

I'm planning to play at least a couple events.

Nice. If anyone makes it out tomorrow I'd be down for a beer.

I'm doubtful for today, haven't lined up a room or anything.

Does temp. in Commerce tend to be warm or cold? (most places tend to be cold)

It's 55 degrees Fahrenheit right now.

Just type "temperature in commerce right now" in your Google search box.

It's like magic.

You probably will want a sweater, sweatshirt or light jacket for the commerce today, just to have with you in case it gets too cool for you.

Buzz

Yeah, thanks Buzz... I was talking about INSIDE the Commerce.

You're welcome.

When I recommended a sweater, sweatshirt, or light jacket, I was too. It sometimes is a bit cool for my taste in that place.

It just rained here (Pacific Palisades) but not enough for me to avoid watering my potted strawberries.

Buzz

This forum would be a much worse place without you buzz and I don't think you get told that often enough

First live tourney in almost 2 year's, little nervous, not gonna lie lol.

15th in plo r so close

Just let the chips fly and have fun!

I thought about going up for today's tourney, but ran a bit late in the Courchevel, and mostly I have a long week ahead of me, so thought it best not to push it today.

Buzz- Thanks for trying to help, I guess my question could have been clearer. Your efforts ARE appreciated.

A266 on a flop of 56t, 7 way all in lol, took about 3/4

Buzz is the man.

Nice playing with you dude - glad you took down that big one!! I couldn't have really had a better flop when I finally stuck it in and bricked off. I CAN'T believe the kid between us shipped that flop with QQ . What a table - oh well, I guess I'll see you at the next event (next Monday)?

Marc

Sorry to miss today's event... definitely plan to play a couple events later in the series... might need to get fishing license!
