ill give you 8 bucks on stars just for the heads up & not making an 'omg rigged post'
LOL that was a good one by both posters, but this just goes to show you, you could not give me 20 bucks to play on poker stars,, we wont go on a rigged trip here, got too many people with too much experience in the field of poker and when they see something wrong they call it and there is something wrong with joker stars the way the cards come out. Interesting you should mention poker stars by the way, cause alot of main bad beats I read about come from poker stars, one might say well there are more people there so more bad beats, nah its called monster flops and bringing in more rake, save your 8 bucks and buy a six pack on me. Why waste 8 bucks, maybe its just me but I have never came out ahead at poker stars.

if ya 3 table at stars with average pots of $15 then you're prob going to spend $15 + in rake an hour.
stars gets every sucker that signs up through their ads. once a player wises up he'll play for bonus or at least get a rakeback deal.
that is unless you want to pay stars $1500 every 100 hours of poker for their spiffy graphics. | | Static Link |

Forum: Bonus Whores | You know, I've been a good whore....I hit the major sites, I do my reloads and I stock up on bonuses for that rainy day. I hadn't played Poker Stars for about a year and have 3 reloads stacked up there.
With the Empire scare this month, I decided to forgo that site and work off some of the other things I have stacked. I got on Poker Stars expecting a bunch of sharks because that is all I've ever heard on the boards...Party/empire = loose, Poker Stars = tight.
What I've found (through Poker Tracker) is that at the 1/2 and 2/4 levels, Poker Stars is at LEAST as loose as party, and a whole lot looser than Crypto has been lately. The only thing I don't like is that Poker Tracker doesn't work as seamlessly with PS as it does with Party which makes Game Time less effective.
So Poker Stars is now on my main list...at least until I work off these stacked bonuses. I'll slow down then, but until that time comes, they are no longer on the back burner. | | Static Link |

Only 40.50 to load $1,000.00 onto paytru with direct debit from bank account. No charge to transfer to poker stars, or to withdraw from poker stars. Only 2.50 fee to withdraw $500.00 from paytru at ATM machine. Withdrawal fees a good problem. Think poker stars is indirectly linked to Paytru. Maybe it'll last allot longer if thats true.

Thats what it says on PS and on his own web site. Maybe the backers allowed him to give up work and go full time on the poker circuit
I won my seat for the 2004 WSOP on Poker Stars, and they are running numerous satellites and supers for this year’s event. Chris Moneymaker, the 2003 Champion, also won his seat on Poker Stars. It is pretty likely that the 2005 Champion will also qualify online, because I am guessing that close to half of all the participants will win their seats on Poker Stars or some other online site.

Poker Stars allows you to have a new, temporary PW emailed to you, so I followed this route and changed my PW again, to something different than before.

I am new to whoring (started a week ago) and even though I have played on Poker Stars exclusively for nearly a year, I cashed out all of my money from there yesterday to whore with it It's amazing to me that Poker Stars offers so few incentives to keep players at their site. I really like their multi table tourneys but I am tired of playing at their site when there are mucho bonuses to be had elsewhere. Besides if I leave for a few months I will probably get an invitation to come back for a 20% reload bonus...So why would I wanna stay at their site when they will probably pay me to come back if I leave It seems like a vicious cycle to me, one condusive to whoring might I add...lol.

Since most of the bigger and better online poker sites have shut down to US players, I found Poker Stars to be the easiest way to get money to and from. So of course I started to play mostly at that site.
Now I expect plenty of bad beats and suck outs just like any other site online. And like any other eteran playing online, my game of course is adjusted for online play.
But I have never witnessed such endless abuse as what I'm seeing at poker stars. Boats losing to bigger boats, sets losing to bigger sets, etc. etc. And its not just bad players getting lucky. From my two months playing at poker stars, I've seen the underdog no doubt winning more, then any where else I played.
Its at the point that when you see something like AA s QQ, you could bet money on the QQ spiking. If I was able to wager on outcomes I could probably make money at Poker Stars instead of wanting to jump on a knife.
