PokerStars?

Question

How much money can you have in one pokerstars account before it won't hold any more? I am talking about play money. Right now I have about 2 million. Will it keep adding up or will it finally reach a limit.

Answer 1

Im sorry, Im not answering your question. I just want to know what the first guy is complaining about. By your stories Pokerstars doesnt cheat. They gave you two winning hands. If you folded a full house you need to stop playing poker and go play uno. Ad far as the odds of somebody getting two full houses in a row, that happens all the time. Anything can happen with the cards. Ive been flopped both quad aces, and a royal flush. Sometimes crazy stuff happens. I guess I just dont see why you are complaining.

To the writer of this question. Play in the real money area. Work your way up and above all have a good time. Poker should always be fun even if your loosing.

Answer 2

I think you can just keep going. And on Pokerstars I think there is just a lot of bad players, figure them out and slow play em to make some moolah. And if your gonna play with some real money i would hurry before the government messes it up.

Answer 3

I'm only up to a million because I tend to play for real money. But I wouldn't worry about it, you can probably win a lot more than a couple of million before they cap you.

You know it never ceases to amaze me how many retards keep claiming that bad beats are deliberate acts on the part of the online poker room. I was playing on Poker Stars last night and there were over 85,000 people playing. You really think there are special software routines designed to put bad beats on people? What would be the point? It would take one programmer to come forward and blow the whistle and it could shut down the entire site. Why would a multi billion dollar company do that?

I have had three royal flushes on that site. Do you know how unlikely that is? Just one royal flush is like me predicting three roulette spins in a row, or four or five dice rolls in a row. Just because something unlikely happens doesn't mean that there is any fraud.

I played in a WSOP circuit event and four times flopped trips, priced my opponent out of the hand and on every occasion they called me with a straight or flush draw and caught it on the river. Do you think that the dealers were stacking the deck for their friends? Or do you think that maybe the people that called my bet did not understand pot odds and wanted to draw to a hand regardless of the price they were getting?

Sorry but any of the major players are far too smart to want to fix the game in any way. These companies make millions of dollars every week simply by dealing cards randomly. I recently referred a player to Party Poker from my web site and his rake is over $5,000 per month. That's just one player. Sure, most people don't play at that level, but still, online poker is a cash cow. The major sites are audited by the gaming commission of the country they are based in. By providing a fair game they will make billions. So why rock the boat?

What most poker players don't understand is there is a distinct difference between, home games, casino games, and online poker. If you don't understand the difference you will occasionally meet with a bad beat. In fact given the multitude of horrible players out there it will probably happen a lot. You need to alter your starting hand requirements, your betting patterns and the way you read other players when you play online.

Above all else, when you lose you need to accept that maybe you need to rethink your game rather than blaming the web site. It is after all about as stupid as blaming a dealer in a casino when you lose.

LOL Not a clue. But if you have 2 million in play money, time to move on to real money (as in the 2-4 cents limits). But I wouldn't recommend pokerstars though. I've had similar miracle cards that looked like it was designed to induce betting to create a higher rake for the site. Here, I'll explain.

First time it happened, I was dealt king of diamonds and ten of hearts. Flop came out 10 (clubs)-3 (spades)-king (hearts). Slow played it and turn came out ace (clubs). My oppoennt bets, I raised quite a bit, he calls. River comes: king of clubs. Okay, so now I have a full house. I push him all-in and he's got jack and 2 of clubs, giving him the house. Okay, that was pretty entertaining, let's move on to the next one.

I was dealt queen and ten of spades. Flop comes out: 3 (spades)-queen (diamonds)-queen (clubs). Sweet! I flopped a set so I slow play it once more by checking it around. Turn is king of clubs and everybody checks some more. River comes ten of clubs giving me, yet, another house. My opponent bets again and I raised him all in. The guy had 6 and 3 of clubs, yet, again, giving him a flush.

This didn't happen in a span of a few hours; no, no, no, it happened inbetween two hands that I folded consecutively. Now what are the odds in that happening? One in ten thousand? If you don't believe me, I'll e-mail my hand history to you, I still have it. Suffice it to say, I took all my money out of pokerstars because if it can happen there to someone else, it can happen to me too.

I dont know and why does it really matter. I realize its play money and you must enjoy playing but its not real. I dont see why they would put a cap on it.
