Re:Great Sharscope Warning issued to me by Stars
Use any decent AV program with spyware protection and you won't have this problem. Norton 360 works for me.

Need Help On Stars
I had a real money account on Stars for years. I quit using it and created another account just to play for play money. Then Stars gave me $5 on that account for some sort of a promotion. I have turned that $5 into $125 and change. The problem is that I supplied bogus information to Stars because I was just playing for fun. I can't cash the money out. Is there any way to transfer it back to my real money account without raising any flags' Help!

Just when I had thought that maybe the overall temperament of your average PocketFiver had advanced to the level of a nine-year-old, you guys work together to prove me wrong.

Re:Pathetic High Stakes Players on Stars: The Haris Queue
You done crying yet' I'm not convinced these players, for the most part, are much better than players at lower limits. I've seen players defend themself against ADZ's admonishments by typing "I'm scared money." I never called them "pussies." You did, not me.

Re:Pathetic High Stakes Players on Stars: The Haris Queue
With the "game selection argument" you guys make them sound like fund managers. They're not. They're poker players. If they don't feel they can beat another player, then why would we not berate them as we do players at lower limits, telling them to sign up to CardRunners or PXF' They should be expected to improve their reads, change up their play. You don't see name pros backing down from each other in tournament or cash play broadcast on network TV. Can you imagine if Hellmuth said, "I ain't sitting down against Farha." Yeah, right...

Re:Pathetic High Stakes Players on Stars: The Haris Queue
Stars should sign Haris to Team PokerStars. First, I'd actually know who he is, and second, he is the only reason they have 200/400 games to begin with.

Even my buddy tsifknits sat there the other day trying to get a game going. When no one would sit in he typed: "lame." Couldn't have said it better myself.

Pathetic High Stakes Players on Stars: The Haris Queue
Almost four full tables at Stars right now, but nobody playing. They are just sitting there waiting for Haris. Pathetic.

Re:Cash games players...what limits and profit do you make?
I'll answer. Most don't make anything over the long haul. For even good players, it is a zero sum game. Most, however, lose over time. HTH

Re:200/400$ hand analyze please.
This is very simple. Bentham quite frequently reraises with hands most of us mere mortals would only call with in that spot. He does it with almost any pair. He plays every pair pre flop like they were aces. He probably had him on AK, but he wasn't 100% sure. Otherwise he would not have checked off after every street. His was a crying call. He felt he had the right price to call to see if his pair was still good. I've seen him in chat. He says what all the good players do: he doesn't care about his money.

Re:Steve_Haris
Stars wouldn't even have 200/400 tables if not for Haris. It's too bad they're too chickenshit to play each other when Haris isn't around. The only guys I see willing to play ANYBODY are Snap, Knits, Stinger, ADZ and sometimes Vaga.

Re:Steve_Haris
Haris has played quite a few heads up sessions. Just yesterday he played Snap. I've seen him isolated quite a few times heads up while the rest of the table sat out to block the table, or to wait their turn to play the fish. They're cowards. They're scared money.

Re:Steve_Haris
The larger point that everyone is missing here is this: These clowns can't, or more correctly, WON'T, fill a table or even play at all UNLESS Haris is there. When he sits out the table clears as does the waiting queue. I'll say it again: These guys are sitters, not players. Haris is the biggest draw on the high stakes tables at Stars, both in terms of spectators and actual players. It's much more fun watching him than any of the no-names Stars continually adds to its roster of "Team PokerStars."
