Hi Everyone, just a quickie!....just started up with Pokerstars (trying to qualify for Dublin EPT!)....used my visa coonnet card to put money in,....but on taking out $400 profit....they emailed me: $350 back to my card, and $50 to a netteller account(ref my email address) !??....pls can anyone tell me what this is? Cheers Nick
Took the plunge to play live for only the second time last night,with a £100 buy in qualifer at the Vic in London. Just over 50 of us sat down,and after rebuys and top up,there was enough in the pot for 4 qualifers (£ 3,000 buy in normally). I looked and acted like a novice.....which I think helped,because you're raises are respected! Knocking out Jackarama on the way!...I managed to hang in to get to the final table of 10, where I found the great Willie Tann sitting opposite with a lot of chips! I was the short stack to start...7,500 with blinds at 1000/2000...but with a couple of lucky all ins I hung around to the last 5. With the crowd growing and me still short stacked,nerves were really setting in........but after an age of cat and mouse I have to thank Willie and the chip leader for pressurising and calling the second short stack to put him out..... and YES!! I had qualified for the big one next week.
So, now only 127 of the world greats to knock out over 3 days ....piece of cake !!!
