LOL. We all start somewhere. I played .25/.50 and .50/1 for quite some time and made my move up the limits slowly, so I understand completely. First PokerStars bonus I played off (at $1/$2) was a horrible experience, because the clearance rate was so painful. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at June 22, 2006, 7:15 pm | | Topic: Poker Stars reload 20% up to $120 (offering a sign up too) Forum: Bonus Whores | Tip for all newbies/micro-limit players:
No matter *what* you think of PokerStars bonuses, NEVER EVER fail to deposit for them. Deposit, wait the 48 hours, and withdraw. They are quite good when you move up in limits, they never expire, so you have no real reason not to bank these everytime they come up.
You can thank me a year from now when you're playing $3/$6 and rip through these in record time. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: redrocks at June 21, 2006, 8:58 pm | | Topic: Poker Stars reload 20% up to $120 (offering a sign up too) Forum: Bonus Whores | Quick update: Trying to clear this at .50/1 lim 6 max is insanely slow. I do not recommend it. Points just dont rack up. There are definitely NO quarter points- maybe double pts were being offered last time and I didnt realize it.
Moved up to 1/2 lim. Clearing OK, still pretty slow but way better than .50/1 lim. I'm almost done so I'll finish it up, but next time may deposit and wait for double points to start. | | Static Link |

Hey Alphaunit1, I've seen you mention 48 hours before too.
What happens if I do withdraw all of the money within 48 hours?
I also seen ppl say withdraw the next day, is that any different?
I need to do this because I need to clear my big Victor Chandler bonus, which is taking forever.
Thanks
yeah, when you try a cashout within 48 hours, the withdrawal won't even go through. a pop up will come up and say "it hasn't been 48 hours since your last deposit" and you click ok and then try to withdraw the next day. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at June 21, 2006, 4:59 pm | | Topic: Poker Stars reload 20% up to $120 (offering a sign up too) Forum: Bonus Whores | As far as I know, they will simply deny the withdrawal and tell you to wait until 48 hours is up. Understand that since I already know about the rule (I was told about it and confirmed on their website at some point), I have never bothered trying to withdraw early.
EDIT: The 48 hour rule is right on the cashout screen. Very bottom bullet point. "A cashout can only be requested 48 hours after your last deposit." Pretty cut and dry. | | Static Link |

Does this mean that during double point promos, the fpp's do not count any longer? I'm not very familiar with stars, just wanted to ask the regulars.......

I played .50/1 lim 6 max during a similar promotion and the points still accumalated even though there were almost no $10 pots. Not sure if this is still true.
I searched Stars up and down for the raked hand requirements and such and didn't see anything about 1/4 pots counting. When did you play that you thought these counted?

One (1) Frequent Player Point (FPP) is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches:
$0.50 for fixed limit poker games with stakes $0.50/$1.00 and lower
$0.75 for fixed limit poker games with stakes $1/$2
$1.00 for
pot limit poker games
no limit poker games
fixed limit poker games with stakes $2/$4 and higher
So for .5/1 limit you need a $10 pot.
For 1/2 limit you need a $15 pot
For any no limit game you need a $20 pot. This is insane. See link. Any comments?

How are you guys going about clearing this? I am going to wait til double FPP's come out but it seems you need to play at least 2/4 or 3/6 limit and at least 1/2 no limit....
I've cleared the 5x at a combination of .5/1 and 1/2 limit in the past. Obviously ... | | Read Entire Entry |

No way. In fact, he changed it for a while then brought the llama back by popular demand.
My five year old likes it too... so two votes from Alabama for the llama!
lol
What drugs are you eating (and more disturbingly feeding your 5 year old) that the avatar looks like a llama? Green, pointy teeth, no fur, no tail . . . .
Just plain creepy.
its not just a llama...........its actually depokerstar himself
damnit

Thanks for hurting my feeling and runing my day *sigh*
I'm soooooo close to hitting the notify mod button due to your antics/a**hole behavior. Were you not hugged enough? Are you tilting? Just a mean person in general? Can't we just all get along? Maybe someone else will see this and notify the mod for me, you stepped on A LOT of toes slamming the llama!!!!
I received several pleas and cries for help from well respected BW posters that BW was just not the same without the llama. Even a PM from that famouns poster 2muchmoney
Bow down to the power of THE GREEN LLAMA

I was thinking that they were emails from the sites, because I just got UB, Fair Poker, CD Poker and Carlos Poker from BW, but not the ones that hime got - was expecting the PS one to arrive at any time from BW.......... Maybe they are taking lunch?

That seems to be the best Poker Stars strategy. Stack them like crazy then go nuts during double points promotions.

Now that's a sweet little addition, especially for higher stakes players.
It effectively makes this somewhere around a 3.5-4x bonus as compared to the old 5x reloads that PS had always offered (without the double FPP days of course).
