blonde poker forum

Just got the email, hopefully its good!

Downloading it now :)

Looks good!

Can even multitable, 4 tables max on iPhone and 5 on iPad.

Gg

Can't imagine playing on it myself (iPhone), but good for the fish, and maybe for those times you are 1 tabling at end of a session or something.

Tried to download it for Android, but the link goes to a 'missing page'.

;carlocitrone;

Info linky...http://www.pokerstarsmobile.com/

Yep, did that.  Clicked on the link they texted me - missing page.

:dontask:

i wont use it to play, but could be handy for late night rails!

Sussed it, my browser is set to 'desktop', and I've just changed it to 'mobile' and the download started.

:)up

Probs just use it when playing live or when I'm  away with work or on holiday.

;carlocitrone;

big :).

1 tabling at work anyone?

This is awesome, playing the big $5 right now to test it out

You can even multi table by stacking, nothing has been missed out.

Only bug I've came across is that if you leave the app to attend to a text or something, then return you can't see your cards

Don't splash the pot.

Now I really do need to think of an excuse so I can take my iphone to work......damn warehouse security!!!

Will download later.

Wow sick.

In this n 2 others, quite slick. Can't see my position in tourney any where though, also no double rebuy or auto add on options for rebuy ?

Downloaded for android. It is fkin sick. Works pretty well. Obv no idea re battery life

5 Min breaks perfect for battery changes - run deep on an Iphone and you will be tethered to the wall socket.

had a go on my ipad. proper sick. live grinding has just become a lot more bareable

OMFG....so good, my ipad has a real purpose

my iphone battery appears to be pleading for mercy right now

This could put a few thousand players on the Sunday mirrions. Seems pretty slick too.

I could never be arsed to take a laptop to live poker games but sit reading shit on my I pad sometimes is ok. With this I can at least 1 table the mirrion for a few hours.

Who ever is responsible for stars graphics and layouts really does a good job. They all seem the smoothest icons and it seems like a cartoon in some ways.

A + again

I was just thinking this, they can do graphics like no other company and deserve alot of credit for stars success

iPad sales will go up in the next week or two

In the splurge e-Mail announcing this, it says......

It has all the same Play Money Texas Hold’em and Omaha ring games and tournaments you’d find on the PokerStars desktop software, and you’ll also be able to play the same PokerStars player pool, but now you’ll be able to do this on the go.

The enboldened part seems an oddly clunky piece of wording, whyever would they use the phrase "Play Money"?

Is this legalese, to get round some UK or European licensing issue?

Could be. As soon as I downloaded it, I was taken to a play money table...

I wouldn't think too much in to that.

(http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg130/chilindude/IMG_0590.png)

Mine says this.

You can play the same full range of Hold’em and Omaha ring games and tournaments that you’d find on the PokerStars desktop software, against the full PokerStars player pool; you’ll also earn FPP’s in exactly the same way, but you’ll be able to do all this on the go

Maybe they don't want renowned TV poker expert Tony Kendall scooping all da monies from the mobile phone fishies?

right im gonna get an ipad, gonna be so crucial, when like 1 tabling last tourney can just grindit on settee/bed. Im so green with them, do they have 3g built in them?

There is a 3g and non 3g version Trigg.  Ipad 3 allegedly due early March so may be worth a wait.  Get 3g with "3" - i pay £15 a month all you can eat data, suddenly a great auto back up as well for internet outage.

cheers shaun, how much are they?  and do i buy them through vodafone etc?

this is fantastic so cool

£499 - £659 depending on memory - I'd go entry you dont need like 64GB

and at times like when u bust and are waiting for someone ....

just playing a 2.50 180 man the app is just brilliant!

cant find the cashier tho?

Ipad arrived at 4:40pm today aswell.

This should turn out well

This may be the reason i get an Ipad, but with people with a HTC Desire HD like myself that thing bloody resembles the thing in size, so i might be alright 5 tabling on that phone.

No cashier available on the app.  Really nice apart from that though.

so sick, left my ipad at work today. This is what i have been waiting for.

I am getting whooshed here, I search for pokerstars and nothing is showing. Well apart from pokerstars tv and something else.

I need this app NOW!

yeah I looked and couldnt find it

Well you should have received an email from stars, its linked to it in the email.

Have now found it. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Link, takes you direct to app.
http://www.pokerstarsmobile.com/lp/web/direct/mobile/pmpc/?source=psmpc1mm1en

Not true, you can see your cash balance, VPPs earned and FPP balance.

who do i pay for the built in 3g lol, do i buy ipad from vodafone?

you buy the i-pad with the built in 3g card and then pay odaphone for the subscription for the month 3g useage

thanks m8, voda have them for like £379 o 24month contract but thats a limited gb download

Liv Boeree said this will revolutionize online poker...


It's going to revolutionize LIVE POKER!

Infact I take that back. I just envisioned 4/9 players at every table in DTD with their eyes glued to ipads, might chase away the fish who like to show you the terrible hands they have been dealt etc etc

I'm sure the tablet market was a major driver behind this development.

Have been thinking about getting an android tablet for a while, and this just adds to the reasons to get one.

released on valentines day though....
now that will be a conversation to have later for some guys.

Looks great. Obv still play big sessions on a comp but nice to play the last table/rail in bed! Can't transfer funds through it yet but that may change over time along with a full cashier.

and to think I almost got a blackberry

darling I think we need a tablet, ok hun I'll get the viagra but didn't think you had that many,not that sort of tablet babe

This is the app my Asus Transformer has been waiting for.

I'd also be thankful that there's no way to deposit/withdraw funds on the mobile version just yet. The app isn't very secure at all, and I'd hope it will require a two-step login process with some sort of token, otherwise there'll be some heartache.

Tikay's not quite got the hang of it yet.

"Hello, I'd like to back-raise to £10. Could you process that for me?'

(http://www.product-reviews.net/wp-content/userimages/2007/11/old-mobile-phones.jpg)

I did an RSA log in on it and it worked fine

where please ?

andrew T funniest poster in the world

its incred.  <3 stars almost as much as DTD....

Well this indeed is massive.

But I am an iPhone4 user and the battery life is just crap, it surely can't last for 5 hours+? I don't really want to bring my phone charger out with me too! :D :D

OMG!!!!

I've lost $600 on the bus!!!!!

Stars are such quality operation. That app is so slick.

Awesome! It's ok to multi table too. Crashed few times but think is more my interweb connection.
Where can you see balance and cashier gubbins?

Menu > Account Status when you are at a table, or More > Account Status from the lobby.

Fking brilliant app.

want to be able to make notes/colour code people but it's so good for a new offering.

<3 stars.

At least one of ur toasters will be put to use....5tabling a Sunday while crushing live :adore:

You lot are weird, Ipads are purely for Porn.


 Sicko's  ;sexybanana;

Don't play flash too well for that  >:(

Fantastic achievement to get something so right in its first iteration.

It's good that's working, but it'd have to be a mandatory thing for all users to make it safe for everyone to use imo. Or at least make it compulsory for anyone looking to deposit / withdraw.

So your happy to play on it kin? Or should I hold off until the security is better?

they need to make the cards bigger for the iphone size tables, have to have a closer look when its Q8, 98 etc

Also something useful, at least on the android version, is that if you are not actively playing/using the app for a while it does require you to relogin (including rsa) after a period of time.

I'm not a security expert, but more than happy to play on it. Just always nervous doing anything involving giving third parties access to large amounts of my money over my phone with just a single password for authentication.

There's no reason the mobile app is any less secure than the pc version though.

I was excited. I downloaded the app - all 12.5mb of it. I installed it. I opened it. I got a message saying my screen size is too small and the app won't work.

Bugger.

Now I can play on the train, all I need is a hands free version for the trip from the station to home.  Pretty unsatisfactory that I have to delay the drive until 55 minutes past the hour!   

Just did a t'interview with the bloke who developed the app, Jeffrey Haas, he reckons 50% of Stars traffic will be through this app by the end of 2013.

Gotta say its a lovely app.

9 months ago i was testing the FTP app, funny what difference a year makes....

Man FTP were ahead of the times. Stars only just implemented the prizepools in the lobby before late reg is over last week.

Ok loving this app far to much think i might have to stop tacking my iPhone to work with me lol. Allso looks like this is now going to have to be a must have in the bag, iPhone, headphones, book, drink, money and now a bat back up http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H6094/mophie-juice-pack-powerstation-external-battery-for-iphone-ipad-and-ipod

App is a total game changer! Kills the battery though!

Bit gutted at not being able to use it at dtd
But I love the app lunch took a bit longer today tho .....

Erm...you can use it at DTD.

Just can't use the DTD wireless to do so. Use your own phone network and everything is sorted.

Go to 'more' in bottom right hand corner --> Click on Account Status



Anyone worried about battery, just get one of these bad boys http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet%C2%AE-Dual-Port-Universal-Incredible-Blackberry/dp/B000NDQ92W/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1329331151&sr=8-4

Sorted today thanks

Yea realise that but how many contracts are with unlimited Internet ?

I use mine up now without  using the super stars app

Or not it seems...

Definately need to have something like that implemented...

So excited to use the app! I downloaded it to my Android and installed it only to have it tell me that my screen resolution is too small. Sigh, gonna have to root my phone so I can change it to 800x600.

I don't think I would like to use this on my phone as my eye sight is poor.

I had a go on it last night and it was OK, my main problem is that it's hard to understand whether you have 2 sapdes/2clubs or one of each.

I deffo need to get an iPad though, it's something that can save you money, whilst you make money on Pokerstars!!

Probably need to get one of those wireless charges.

i am really liking the app but it would be so much cooler if it let u play muttly game

App is incred, just been using at DTD - confirmed works perfect.

Only if u have it on 3G mind.

Does it eat into your data allowance?

Tut tut, confirmed joined the Internet brigade with the latest fandangle fad. You have sold out sir!

On a serious note the app is pretty hot, but one aspect I am concerned about at this time is the security issue. Mmmmm

Can't imagine it uses huge amounts of data. I'm sure Stars have developed the app to work like the desktop version where there's very little being sent to and from the server and client.

Another security issue is open wifi networks (ones that are unsecured). Would avoid them with anything sensitive or where money is at risk.

"e-Gaming review" said this today.....

PokerStars has launched a mobile app for UK players, available for download on Apple and Android devices.

The app however does not currently allow players to create a new account, nor does it have a cashier function, meaning players must register and deposit online before using PokerStars Mobile.

eGaming Review understands that a that a fully integrated app, including the addition of these two features, will be released later this year.

The launch comes after the release of Apple and Android apps for the Italian market, in January and February this year respectively.

Players will be able to access it from anywhere in the United Kingdom except Northern Ireland, and access both real-money and play-money poker.

It covers a number of varieties of the game including no-limit, pot-limit and fixed-limit Hold’em, as well as Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo variants, and allows cash game, sit’n’go and tournament play on several tables at once.

PokerStars has two other non-egaming apps available on Apple devices: PokerStars TV and Pokerstars Clock.

The Laws apertaining to Online Gaming in Northern Ireland are very peculiar - even Channel 865 is outlawed there.

I think the reason why there's no app in N Ireland is that Stars weren't prepared to make two versions - one orange and one green.

can u bet any amount size? so far it seems i can only vet in terms of xBB???

You just hit the field that shows the size of your bet and then you can type it in

should be a 1/2 pot/ pot button imo, typing in the bets takes too long and the slider doesn't work very well.

battery life isn't great, but OK. I reckon 2-3 tabling you losing 20% of the battery life every hour.

Other than that, the app is perfect!

Is that using 3G or wireless?

I played about an hour this morning 2 tabling on Android Asus Transformer via wireless, lost 14% :/

Agreed, but for a first release they wont be far behind with this on the next update.

The slider is kinda weird as its based on your stack rather than the pot. Obvs people sometimes over bet the pot but most of the time people bet 50% 75% 100% of pot.
So the slider should be based on the pot, I've had a few misclicks betting 4x the pot in the middle...oops!

#areyouseriousbro

Every poker site uses a slider based on stack size, anything else would be nonsensial in no-limit games

thank u mate

That on I Pad Alex ?

Just played 2 hours 3 tabling and used 17% battery. (on wifi fwiw)

I used this while playing live at Luton last night.

I was fine with keeping up with when it was my turn to act live.

The blokes either side of me weren't tho.  Kept having to be prompted as my skills on the .50/1$ tables were so interesting to rail.

Maybe using the 3G uses up tons of battery

Must be something up with my phone or something.

I can't use normal apps on mine for an hour without losing half of the battery life.

I was running the app on 3G on my iPhone 4 the other day down the pub and it only sucked up about 10% of the bat in about 3 hours but it was the only app running I had closed down all the other ones

Anyone else doing their conkers since they broughtut this fucking app?!

If you're actually using data (e.g. playing on the stars app) - then 3G uses more battery than wi-fi.  If your phone is sitting idle, then wi-fi will use more than 3G.

(I think)

ok just got a call from vodaphone offering me a free i-pad2 if i take out a contract with tem for £29.99 a month that will give me unlimited useage is this worth it?


i wasnt sure but apple is selling the ipad at £399 witout a contract so if its a 12 month contract i am getting the ipad for £360 but free 3g connection for 12 months
is this value or is there better offers out there?

It will almost certainly be a 24 month contract

PokerStars down?

12 month contract ok 24 month not ok?

Yeah both on iPad and computer for me!

yeah stars is down,


http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28/internet-poker/pokerstars-down-lagging-333648/index175.html

Thanks

seems a pretty great offer

any one think we will see alot more multi accounters

why do you say that?

i would be better off buying one for £400 notes then £7.5 a month for 24 months as most of time i would use one i would be on wifi rather than 3g and the £7,5 would give enough as a back up imho

people playing on the 3g ipad and the wifi desktop makes it alot easier to multi account

Laptop tethered to a 3g phone - has always been available.

3G iPads are £500, the £400 machine is wifi only. Deal looks o.k.
Lad at work today said that Vodafone had offered him one for £25 a month though.

Media event for I-pad 3 on March 7th acc to twitter.

Bump.

How times change.
