PokerStars VIP Rep thread

[Zorba]

who knows what is meant by an asterisk over players
(small white)

Here somebody has ?

That Star means that player is using PokerStars.net and not the PokerSatrs.com software, the .net does not keep hand histories.

Spoke to a product colleague about this. Essentially there has long been a debate on this feature (whether to notify sitting out players or not by surfacing the table) and there hasn't been enough of a case to change it from the current functionality. Ideally we would like there to be an option you could toggle on how you want it to behave (i.e. to stay in background or surface) but among the many other development features being worked on, this has not yet made the prioritization cut.

I've passed your feedback on.

Regards,
Dylan

OK, thanks. I appreciate your forwarding my thoughts on this. I am assuming that this feature is waaaaay down the priority list, but it is a real pain. Your suggestion above to have a choice on how a sit out table reacts would be awesome.

I had gotten that error a few times myself. I ignored it. Never heard anything.

Now I just work around it by using Equilab or the Ace Poker Solutions Equity Calculator instead.
Both are better than Stove anyway.

I opened Equilab yesterday when trying to look at a equity calculation in the polished poker thread and I got the pop up regarding not using software at the same time

You earn VPPs for rake paid on Rebuys and Add-ons.

Dylan

Ok didn't realise you got the VPPS for rake paid in Rebuys and Addons as in the tournament lobby of a $2 R/A it just says : - see pic below

As the numbers drop by alot for Rebuys and Addons as they have in the games I play, Will Stars review their decisions about rake on Rebuys and Addons or at least maybe reduce it as long term it will add up to alot of $$$$

Thank you for the clarification.
no one could tell.

Hi Dylan a question about Freerolls. I used to play Badugi, Razz and 2-7 Single and Triple draw but right now Pokerstars has the following freerolls:
Breaking Badugi Club Poker; HORSE WAR Club; 2-7 Single Draw Club; RAZZ war Club and all of then are "Restricted".
Is there a group as Cardschat where we need to register to play those freerolls or what is the deal?

I think this is a question for a Cardschat mod.

I know i complained about how the felt looked on the tables of all knockout games but oh my what the hell has happened since? Table felt back to normal, cool I like that but what is with the explosive graphic anytime anyone gets knocked out???

Please tell me there's a way to turn that off?

Yes, you can turn off KO Poker animations in Settings -> Table appearances -> Animation

The VPP info in the tournament lobby only advertises VPPs for the initial buy-in. Rake is reviewed on a regular basis, although I haven't seen any indication that the new rebuy/add-on rake will be reversed.

Dylan

micro mtts are virtually unplayable now, you might as well turn them into all in shootouts..... just a suggestion

There is a bug in the Cashier section.

If I click on "My Bonus Status", nothing happens and after that everything in the Cashier section becomes unusable; even deposit!

I have to restart PokerStars if I want to have access to Cashier.

 

[Pokerguy6666]

I have the same problem, my cashier window in Pokerstars is bugged. I can open the cashier window but all the buttons are bugged (the "History button", the "My Bonus Status button", the "Deposit button", ...all of them). Its has been like that for at least a day for me.

Questions for poker stars VIP

Please forgive me if this question has been answered earlier but I had an account on poker stars since about 2004. I stopped using it a few years ago and just tried to download the software today. I was able to remember my username and password but the only poker stars software that I can download is the poker stars NJ version. Since I don't live in NJ can I just download the old general poker stars version? I don't want to set up a new account and lie about where i live. Thank you

 

[Gorak]

I received an email about Stars Account. I don't really understand what changed.

Do I have something to do right now or in the future?

No action required. It's more of an "FYI" since you'll be seeing emails coming from Stars Account more frequently going forward. This is included in the email, but for those that haven't read it, here's the explanation for Stars Account:

As you may know, we are offering not only Poker, but also Casino and Sports Betting for a number of different countries and licenses, under several brand names. As a result, we decided that a new naming convention for some features of our software was in order, to make sure players understand the cross-product and cross-brand nature of these features.

Going forward, your "PokerStars Account" will henceforth simply be referred to as your "Stars Account". Your account and "Stars ID" (formerly "User ID") will remain exactly the same, only the naming convention will change. So instead of using their "PokerStars Account" to access Poker, Casino or Sports, players will now be using their "Stars Account"; and instead of using your "User ID" and password to log into your "PokerStars Account", you will now use your "Stars ID" and password to log into your "Stars Account".

Aside from the new naming convention, you will not be affected by this change in any way. The only difference you may notice is that some of our emails are going to look slightly different. For example, instead of receiving an email reply from "[email protected]" our sender address for Support may be [email protected] (typically for account and transaction related issues).

Dylan

I think that it's not just me

 

[sladoom]

the support can not solve my problem.
Maybe someone knows a solution?

Thanks for the info.

I guess the merge will automatically happen on May 17 when we open the FullTilt client program right?

Correct. On May 17 you should be prompted when you log-in to perform the software update.

When the merge takes place can we carry over FTP points and also tickets?.
I have 5 cash tickets on FTP and around 2,000 points.

Everytime i open a PokerStars tourney table, my homegames window pops up, is it me or a strange kind of a bug



I like the fact, that the $2.20 slow Storm Sats are turbo now.

But there could be more "normal regular freeze out mtts" in micro and low stakes, almost all is now KO, Hot and Big.

It happens to me too.

By the way I never thought I'd be saying this but now Party Poker has a better MTT schedule for the micros.

When I wanted to play I used to find a good micro tourney on Stars at all time. But not anymore. Sorry.
