It's now getting interesting at the Stars $100K Sunday tournament. We're only 36 players from the money (top 3k), and on second break.

I'm in the top ~12% with double the average stack, so I can't complain

The party's on me during our trip to Vegas if I win this $20k

edit: This has got to suck I found it odd that someone had a stack of $1. Stars is checking into the possibility of dumping.

oh well, out at 1100. Can't do much when you're card dead after the 2nd break and the blinds are 10min

Good enough for $30 profit...lol

Oh well...there's always another day...

Yep, and only $10+1 for a chance of winning $20K, it's well worth it. The only thing is wading through all the donks early on. Even though it's not a rebuy+addon, there's always 20,000 players entered.

But anyways, I've already almost tripled up at .5/1 PLO. :notworthy

I've been running so bad lately, this is welcomed.

Nice run winbig, Its a tough tourney but fun, maybe next week

 

[winbig]

Thanks...it's been a good day. Time for a nap...us old people need that, you know!

What makes it an even better day is the fact that if I hadn't sat down at 10 minutes prior to the tournament to watch the History Channel's special on the history of gambling, I would have forgotten about the tourney altogether. I'm just glad for my DVR

WTG WB! Hey I entered a $2+.20 at PokerStars and won >US$300. Wasn't even a year ago. Luckest cards I ever saw! I musta finished around 20-30th, maybe. Could it have been as low as 80th? Top 180 got paid, I know that so maybe you can tell me! lol
I was ranked in top 20 of the top 100 for 2 hrs! 5,000 or so entrants. Didnt take as long as I thought, either. 'Bout 3-4 hrs to me. Hard to believe it's the same game that sucks so hard when the cards are s**t!

Regarding the $1 stack SS above, it was just a bizarre coincidence, not chip dumping.

This is why PokerStars is a cut above the rest. Absolute & UltimateBet should take lessons! The following is a response from Stars, around 3 hours after my initial request for an inquiry.

Thank you again for your email. I have reviewed this player and the
situation. As it turns out, xxxx had 3591 chips to start a hand
against an opponent with 3590 chips. They both made full houses with xxxx getting rivered to cost him/her all but one chip.

Thank you for giving us the chance to review this situation. As you know,
we take the integrity of our games very seriously and welcome every
opportunity to ensure that they are played fairly.

I just figured that the 23,974,987,765,092,112.876... active tables at any given time was probly a pretty good canary.

 

[classymom]

I was one of the donks in that tourny last week I finished in ( can't remember exactly what place)- got 60.00 I play this every week, one day I will win..

 

[CountByte]

Is this PokerStars.com or .net??

If it's.net, plz PM me how you can play there being from the YOU KNOW WHERE

 

[classymom]

Poker stars .com - I think .net is just for free play. I live in Florida I have no problems depositing and playing.

 

[winbig]

Yes, it's .com. PS is one of the best places for us Americans to play at now

Congrats Winbig! That's alot of people to work through.A couple of months ago I won a 2.20 triple shootout (216 players) and won a seat to the the Sunday MIllion! I busted out at 1186th place out of about 6600 players
Top 900 got paid.

 

[classymom]

I think the satellite games to the Sunday million and Sunday 100 grand are great. I'm fairly new to poker and winning a 2.20 tourney to get to the big ones I feel I already won. So far I've only paid full price to the Sunday 100 grand once.
