So i started playing online only a little bit ago and was mostly playing play money. Then one day i look at the cashier and there is $5 in my account. Assumed this is just a small deposit by Pstars to get me playing with real money hoping that i would lose it and deposit more. Well that wasn't exactly the case. I started playing well and was up to $40 a little while later. Then comes the tricky part. I log off one night with BR of $38 and come back the next morning with $63...No one made any transfers and i checked my email and it says nothing. Any idea what happened?

I know PS and some other sites actually GIVE you money to start with in the hopes you'll see how much more fun it is playing for cash (The 1st one is free kinda thing!) 'cuz they did the same thing for me. But are you sure you weren't in a 'Bounty' game where you win each time you knock someone out? Other than that, I couldn't tell ya.:confused:

Maybe you play better in your sleep...or you joined through another affiliate that offers a bonus.

Have you checked to make sure you still have both kidneys?

If you downloaded Pokerstars through the Cardschat link there is a $25 bonus I believe.

Please read the thread before posting. Rushed posts will be considered postcount spam :D.

sounds to me like you have a trojan on your computer.....fortunately for you, the person who is running that trojan is a decent poker player.
