I guess. I'll try and post more, and if it's made clear in the subject line, I'll try and comment more to get it a little higher-profile.

Yeah, that would be fun to enforce...

Anyway, aren't you shortstacking it? What do you care about a bunch full stack posts?

Srsly, this forum features a wide range of limits so there are a lot of people only a couple steps up from clueless amongst a bunch of other's who really know their [censored]. You can choose to let that irritate you or you can help educate people. Your choice.

Yes, there's been a big trend for bad set hands and it's getting annoying. I have no idea why, but soon enough it'll blow over and there will be something else.

So, a few days back I got a random $77 deposited into my account on Full Tilt.
It was not rakeback as I was not due any.

So, I replied to the email asking where this money came from. I did not deposit, I did not have a rakeback payment coming, I was confused.

Full Tilt support finally gets back to me (6 days later I might add) telling me I won some sort of lucky 7's promotion where I won 77 bucks.

I'm ok with that.

This is the exact email they sent me

Quote:

Hello Charles,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

This was not a deposit made by you, Charles. This is a payment made by
us in relationship your raffle entry into the Lucky 7's Promotion. You
were one of the 77 players to win the draw, and thus you received a
credit of $77.00 into your account.

I hope this clarifies things for you Charles, if you have any further
questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Regards,

Michael G
Full Tilt Poker Support


Should I send them an angry email because my name is not Charles and yet they called me that 3 different times in the email.

Also, this email has the tone of a parent who is fed up of stupid questions from a child. I feel very ackward reading the email, like I did something wrong by asking a question.

I see what you're getting at. I've been playing about 1/3 $12 180 man sngs and sats to wcoop, 1/3 fullstacked, and 1/3 short so I'm not always shortstacking. Its just that there are so many hands that are all essentially the same if you know what I mean and you could just as easily get your answer from another thread as post a new hand.

How good do you think the chances are that PS is going to have a reload for their series?

Debating on weather or not to withdraw $600 so that I can take advantage of it, if it were to happen.

Don't you think this might be a fold, CMAR, 55 is def in his range when he bets out the flop...

From a PS rep in the ZOO after someone got a preemptive email offering the bonus.
"
Hi everyone:

I just want to clarify this post.

While we do have arrangements for a potential WCOOP bonus (as we do every year), the details and final decision have not yet been taken as to whether or not to have a WCOOP bonus this year, or what the details of such a bonus would be.

The email received by TOT represents an error on the part of the CSR who handled his question, and no bonus should have been granted. If a bonus is going to happen, you would receive all the usual popups and email to the address listed in your PokerStars account.

As I told TOT by email, we apologize for the confusion "


So bascially yeah, it will be coming soon.

My stars is MESSED.

I rebooted after FR tourny and stars had a new update. I can't play anymore? The lobby keeps stealing focus and I can't click on my tables.

IDeas? Emailing stars now.

edit: N/M - reinstalled and seems to be fine

don't reboot any more?

Turn off stars auto reloader.
09-13-2007 , 08:51 PM
There was a problem with a Stars update earlier in the week and it was rolled back. Maybe it's returned?

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=11991331&an=&amp ;page=0&vc=1

Nobody close Stars until this is fixed (unless you're bypassing the update check)!

arghhhhhh

Flop nut straight, lose stack to boat.

AA loses to 24 because he called a re-raise and flopped 2 pair.

AA loses to TJ on 39T 2 flush board because he hits the last T in the deck on the turn/river

flop a set, lose to a flush

AA... .9 times today, losing money on it.

Like i'm being told by the cards to just not play today
09-13-2007 , 09:02 PM
Downloaded software from stars site.
Re-installed and it seemed to do the trick.

If you turn off auto reloader you would be fine

So F'n frustrated!

Has anyone figured out why stats for pokerace often only update for a fraction of players and show many as N/A?

If I fold one more hand to a player who turns out to be a complete imbecile after the fact I'm going to throw myself through a window.
