Poker Stars Down??

AHHH What the heck happend....Is Poker Stars down for anybody else???

I was in the middle of a cash table doing decent and all of the sudden it starting to attempt to reconnect me...

yeah ****ing no ahh i was big stack in my tounrey wtf PokerStars

i hope it gets fixed fast

Yep, I'm down, time for bed anyhow.

^^^this^^^, but in a SnG

Yup...trying to log on...nothing..the connect bar just keeps going and going...

thank god i dont play on that site anymore lol

I'm in the middle of a cash table, I just hope it comes up before I go to bed so I can leave the table and won't be blinded down to $0.... lol

what happend when that happens i was big stack in my 6 player sit in go any one no

omgwtfahhh

im going to make food, goddamn PokerStars they better refund my $16 or smthing

What am I thinking?? I'll be "Sat out".
lol man I get to excited..

mines a turbo if im still in it the blinds will annihilate me pretty quick... lol

Yeah I just ate some Shells and Cheese.....yummy yummy..

wow i was going to play on that site but ohhh well keep us posted.

something about a dispute over their URL or sitename???

I also E-mailed them which failed, so I think the whole site is down, so I have faith that all will be reimbursed for their troubles as PokerStars has the best support network that I have encountered on any site.
With that said there will be no blind outs if the whole site is down, the games are just stopped IMO.

Somebody probably tripped on a cord.

Or the IT guy spilled his coffee and shorted the whole thing out.

Maybe they will credit everybody $10 or something....lol if not lets protest!! haha

Oh well I'm going to head to bed, I guess if it just sits me out I'll have to post my blind when I wake up..

I was up at both of my Omaha tables, but losing the current hands I was playing. I can only hope all current hands are cancelled.

Its back up but all games have been paused.

it's up, i'm playing now.

tourny just got cancelled. i guess they didn't fix what ever is messed up.

I was in a 1.20 SnG and got double back for the inconvenience

Good here too

All is well

not only did i not get double back, they didn't give me the rake back either.

They took all prize monies from the 2.20 NTT I was in and dicided it eqyally among the players stil in when the site crashed. Got back about 5 bucks, i'm guessing.

My account is short $15...

Kind of old news now, but this is the email i got, which will give you an idea of how they handled the money. I love how they spell canceled with the extra L. Technically I guess both are correct?

(Oddly enough I was only playing here because Bodog was having problems.)

PokerStars Tournament #59620358, No Limit Hold'em
Buy-In: $1.00/$0.20
9 players
Total Prize Pool: $9.00
Tournament started - 2007/08/28 - 23:25:00 (ET)

Dear vanaus1,

Tournament #59620358 has been cancelled due to technical reasons.

When a tournament is cancelled before players are in the money, we
refund
each player their tournament fee, and then divide up the prize pool
based
on the following formula:

- 50% of the award pool distributed evenly between remaining players
- 50% of the award pool distributed proportionally according to the
chip
count

At the time of cancellation there were 8 player remaining, and your
chip
count was 1,540. Total chips in play were 13,500.

Prize pool to be divided equally: $9.00/2 = $4.50
Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: $9.00/2 = $4.50

Your share in money equally divided: $4.50/8 = $0.56
Your share based on chip count: $4.50 x (1,540/13,500) = $0.51
Your entry fee refunded: $0.20
Total money refunded to your account: $1.27

We apologize for the inconvenience.

The PokerStars Team

I was chip leader so I got a fatty refund it was like $16 + $12 bonus monies
