How fast would you change your policies when a department manager at YOUR business reported needing 10 more PAID employees to handle the 02c to 10c transfer requests to 30 pros from 10,000 (or more) members, all of which have to be approved and generated manually?

Try playing practical jokes in a live poker room and see how quickly the pit boss and security invite you to leave. This idea is somewhere WAY below the 'where's da pazwurd' posts in quality.

Come on man, enjoy this joke for what it is, a joke. Let's not shed any tears for dear old pokerstars and their employment department on the Isle of Man. You realize that PS is a billion dollar privately held company right? 10c transfers to pros really is not going to hurt them in anyway.

I'm confident that K-Dog is not going to graduate to pulling practical jokes in a live room. Besides, to me this is no more than the equivalent of sending a drink to someone accross the room.

^^^Pkyplyr is gonnna slap you for that one Van.

btw, wondering how (or if) you guys are getting paid back. Also wonder just how much all these small amounts all added up to.
It cost me $2.50 in total

The poker pros are able to make good enough money to be poker pros why give them money. You could play in a 10 cent game and win 50 dollars or more so why would you give that away.....
If there is a reason other than being nice let me know I just don't get it
I could have played the money, but the way Im playing lately, I would have lost it anyway, so what's the difference!

This is the kind of reason that causes rules to get changed. Stars has been courteous enough to allow any amount of transfer to all it's members, but sites like FT have minimums. Guess there's a reason for minimums afterall.

Stars, like any other poker site, is a business. I can see posting jokes, etc, on a forum such as this. CC and other forums are the place for socializing. Stars is a place for playing poker. Have looked through their main lobby numerous times and have never found a tab labelled 'fun zone'.

There's at least one reply here that indicated they would be doing the same thing.

thanks.
Four days later, and not a single transfer back from any of the pro's, Im shocked, to say the least, money-grabbing f**kers, lol.
Oh well, back to asking for passwords on here, I guess, eh, nevadanick!

LOL this preaty intresting,thing the wil return the favor?

In one episode of either high stakes or poker after dark Daniel Negreanu whas talking about how people where allways sending him 10cents and he didint now how to respond,should he send back 10cents or dollar or what.

It actually happened when Daniel was commentating on the final table of the Pokerstars WCCOP last September I think. I was listening to his online radio commentary, it was really funny, he couldn't believe all these 2+2 posters were sending him like 5c + 10c.

I'm sorry but this is such a dumb/played out idea. "Maybe if I send them .10 they'll feel sorry for me and send back $100"

meh, you should of just played with the money at a table.

That actually sounds like a fun idea.
AI think $.06 would be funnier though. They might equate 7 with you wishing them goodluck, but wtf would some stranger send $.06?

Great. Now, the next time I'm drunk I'll probably hit the play money tables, start calling a player "Guido" and tell him in the chat box that I'll ship him the fourteen big ones that he's owed.
No matter how much he denies being Guido I'd keep calling him it.
Then a day later (so that he's all but forgotten about it) I'll transfer him $.14.

Everybody knows that you'll have to send Daniel exactly $0.02 if you want Pokerstars to turn off your doomswitch.
$0.10 just isn't gonna do anything!

2c = doomswitch off

4c = doomswitch on

6c = off

8c = on

10c = off

now that seems a lot more fun than doing what I did, spunking all my BR to the pros.
A week later, and still no reply/transfer back, etc. my moment of fun has deflated, like a burst balloon................
