TLK · 07-18-2004, 08:57 PM

let's get one going after tonight's excitement..... maybe around 9:00 (EST) or whatever works for everyone else......

Fouts · 07-18-2004, 09:15 PM

I'd play.

Comey · 07-18-2004, 09:23 PM

Would this be a private tourney? I'd be in if it were, and it were free/not expensive.

MJ4H · 07-18-2004, 10:51 PM

i guess i will play even if it will cost me 1/6th of my stars bankroll

JeeberD · 07-18-2004, 11:08 PM

I'll be working until about 10:30 central next Sunday...

RGunner · 07-18-2004, 11:24 PM

i am in

GoldenEagle · 07-18-2004, 11:26 PM

PokerStars will be the next place I put money in, but right now I am way down in the poker earnings.

MJ4H · 07-18-2004, 11:30 PM

Just FYI apparently Absolute Poker allows private tourneys with buyins less than $10. There is one tourney in the private tab with a $1.10 buy in.

cartman · 07-19-2004, 01:43 AM

I'm in

SirFozzie · 07-19-2004, 08:43 AM

I only play at PS right now, so if it's there, I'm in

Huckleberry · 07-19-2004, 08:56 AM

Yeah, I'm gonna need to work my way up for a while before I join these. And by a while, I mean several months. I cashed out my online poker accounts to feed my golf habit. I left 50 cents in PokerStars. I've got it up to $3.88 since I started playing with that 50 cents on Friday. So I should be good to go by sometime next year.

TLK · 07-20-2004, 12:40 AM

thanks to ABC.....

no... SirFozzie and MJ4H are in also....

cartman · 07-22-2004, 02:19 PM

Once I leave the office, I'll get registered as well. The firewall here at the office in California is blocking the port for PokerStars.

TLK · 07-23-2004, 11:21 AM

FYI..... Stars is running a deposit bonus....

How Do I Qualify for a Deposit Bonus?

Deposit up to $600 during the qualifying period and you'll receive a 20% bonus. Deposits over $600 will be eligible for the maximum $120 bonus.

Only your first deposit during the Bonus Period is eligible for the deposit bonus.

If you cash out any amount from your PokerStars account during the Bonus Period, but prior to making a qualifying deposit, you are ineligible for the deposit bonus.

Where Can I See My Bonus?

Once you make a deposit, you can view your pending bonus in the cashier window in the PokerStars software. The number of Frequent Player Points (FPPs) you must earn to collect the bonus can also be found there. To view these items, click on the 'Cashier' button. Once in the cashier window, simply click the button labeled "Check My Bonus Status." (More information on the FPP program can be obtained here).

How Do I Earn My Bonus?

To earn the deposit bonus, you must earn an additional number of FPPs equal to five times the bonus amount. For instance, a $500 deposit ($100 bonus attached) requires you to earn 500 FPPs (5 x 100) to release the bonus.

FPPs which count toward the bonus requirement begin with the first hand played after the deposit is made to your account.

After the required number of post-deposit FPPs have been accumulated, the bonus will move from "pending status" into your PokerStars cash balance. PokerStars will send you an email confirming that the bonus funds have been moved to your cash account. The transaction will also be noted in your 'transaction history' in the Cashier Window.

How are Still Pending Bonuses Handled?

If you still have a pending bonus for a previous promotion, the FPPs that you earn during the new bonus period are first applied to the previous bonus. For example:

You make a $500 deposit on January 1st for a 'January Deposit Bonus' promotion and receive a $100 pending bonus.

On February 1st PokerStars offers a 'February Deposit Bonus.' However, between January 1st and February 1st you have only collected 400 of the 500 FPPs required to release your 'January Deposit Bonus.'

You may still make a qualifying deposit for the February Deposit Bonus - but the next 100 FPPs you earn will still be credited toward the January Deposit Bonus.

Once you have earned the required FPPs for the January Deposit Bonus - you will begin to accrue FPPs toward releasing your February Deposit Bonus.

Good luck, and thanks for playing on PokerStars!

cartman · 07-23-2004, 06:57 PM

I'm registered. Only 4 right now, the more the merrier!

MJ4H · 07-23-2004, 07:25 PM

The way things have been going today, I may need that $11 back

cthomer5000 · 07-25-2004, 03:21 PM

I was about to bump this myself. I just registered.

Comey · 07-25-2004, 04:03 PM

I wish I could play. I can't afford a deposit right now.

Radii · 07-25-2004, 05:39 PM

temporarily un-registering, I'm still 99% sure I can play, but we're going out to dinner, so just in case we decide we're doing something after dinner I won't be out my $11. I still expect to be back easily in time to play though.

Radii · 07-25-2004, 07:18 PM

re-registered!
