Yesterday I was trying to download the site and some how downloaded the real money site and I can't find PokerStars.com. Can someone send me a link so I can download the right one so I can play our home games?
Hi Dylan......My 1st question in this thread..........Do you know of any upcoming deposit bonuses, (new ones or old ones that have not been on for a while). As I have run really bad lately and could do with a decent bonus?? I've got to deposit soon, so anything will be good otherwise I might just the usual 100k?
Many thanks for your or anyones input.

@papac, you can play in the homegames and playmoney from the .com version, its actually what we typically recommend when it comes to league etc because it enables you to use tracking software to be able to review hands and stats on the competition. So no reason you shouldn't be able to continue using the .com version it just won't allow you to play any real money games.
HEY guys ... i have a silver star account ... i donate like 600 $ in few days .... and i was on bank today and i froze my credit card,, because i`m addicted 🙂) and now ... my pokerstar account was frozen 2 .... how that can be possible ? 🙂
Hi PS rep
I have a technical question (or at least for me it is). I only play on Stars, and it might be different from site to site, so therefor this is a Stars related question. So here goes....
When does the software stack the deck. Are all 52 cards stacked before a hand is dealt or does it do it as it puts cards on the flop.
I remember learning that to randomize, the computer uses the clicker or something like that, and then does a semi randomization from that.
If that is still how a random hand is generated then it depends on at what time it is generated.
I the stack is made before the hand starts it does not matter how long time I use deciding etc., the flop, turn and river will be the same. But if the cards are randomized as the program needs another card, then it all depends on how long I take to call or do stuff.
I mostly think about this when I have folded in a 3 way pot and I then see the flop or turn etc. If I see that I should have called or it was a good fold and I did not miss anything, then I think at the same time about the question I have here. If I had called instead of folded the timing would have been different and the cards not the same anyway, unless the deck is stacked before the hand starts.
Hope you or someone else can answer this as the question often pops in to my head.

Grindabod, I believe most sites randomly determine each card as you go but pokerstars is unique in that they determine the entire 52 card deck before starting. I feel like this question was pretty recently discussed on this forum. Perhaps a search is in order.

Stars does not use, and is one of the only one's I know of that doesn't offhand, a constant shuffle. Once the cards are randomized they are set for the hand versus a constant shuffle that is used on many other sites whereby the flop could be different based on if you fold or not for example so the rabbit hunt and seeing the flop have no bearing on what you would have hit if you hadn't folded because it would probably have been different.
To add to the simplistic approach of the clicker use for randomization, that could play a role depending on the site and how their RNG is setup however in such these days they would likely be using a much more sophisicated seed for the randomization, like an atmospheric pressure for example and it could be even seeding for the seed for extra layers of security for the RNG process. Stars uses a true hardware RNG as far as I recall from having read many technical posts from one of our members/mods on the subject.

Hey Rep, iv reported the same players for frequently not using english while at the table, they also seem to be talking about it while I'm in hands. I report them several times a session but nothing seems to happen, whats the next step i should take?
so it's been a while but once again the lobby has reset itself as if i've just downloaded it for the 1st time, all filters reset, bet sliding options reset, absolutely everything had to be reset up manually and to be honest it can be quite annoying. do you know what causes this or how to make sure this doesn't happen again?
