I miss poker stars. They had so many choices to choose from. One could play for ten cent, or even had penny games. And, one could play the SNGs for .10 cents, .25 cents .50 cents 1.00 on up.

I use to play the low money sngs to see how my luck was running. If I was not hitting good cards I would just stay in the low money games. If I felt that I was hitting, I would move up to the next higher level.

And, there was always a game with players. Not so with the present poker sites.

Come home Poker Stars, come home. lol

Hi Mike. I had an account there many years ago but don't remember much about it. But I can understand what you are saying. When you get used to a site, you miss it just like you would anything else. I don't think it will not be much longer before you will be able to play there again.

I feel for you guys! If stars ever left the Canadian market (and there has been some speculation) I'd probably quit poker.

I miss Poker Stars.

Me too. I really hope we get to play again, and wish there was a positive solution at the federal level. I don't see it happening any time soon in TX, but we'll see.

Do think with the amaya gaming group taking over online poker. Pretty sure online poker will be available in the states USA within the next 18 months if even it's likely to be regulated

So, forgive my ignorance, as I am new to poker as of three days ago... doing some Googling... Pokerstars is safe, right? I've read some (badly written) stuff about it that puts it in a bad light...

EDIT: Looks like every other forum ever says no, albeit with unnecessary condescension. That's that then

Yes, pokerstars is very safe.

If you live in the USA and some other countries you are not allowed to play there.

It is your own country's government that says if you are or are not allowed to play there.

Yes, how correct you are

Yes,

You are so right,

Pokerstars has many options and variety of games at many buy-in levels, in addition to freerolls.

In addition customer service is responsive to their needs.

Many site that we log on to, have no players at the tables. Or one has to spend lots of time on a waiting list.

One more thing, PokerStars is the only site to send me a check for my BR after Black Friday.

Come home PS.

Russian players have a bad reputation of playing like donkeys and getting lucky, the term Agro Donks comes to mind.


Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good Russian players but I haven't seen many of them.

I hope US players will be allowed to play on any pokersite soon. I think it will be new impulse in online poker for players from whole world. So it could also bring more fishes into the pool :)

If/when they come back, they'll surely be advertising on television again. That means lots and lots of fish!

And we miss you - US players. :) I hope that we'll be able to play again sooner than a year.

p.s. When I see some random player location starts from the word "United" I'm hoping to see "States" as a continuation :)

Exactly! Pokerstars has so many options for all types of bankrolls.
Plus, they run many more freerolls than any other site. (if they still do)
The day I chose to play online Poker, was the exact day that online Poker was banned from the U.S. Black Friday.
Just my luck right? , it was kind of like the universe didn't want me to play online Poker. How unfortunate for me.
At least you got to experience the money part of Pokerstars :)
