Monkey Staking II

[gatso]

wont let me log in either

nor me. it is broked

[matt674]

best bet is i can watch my tournament take place and lose blinds but cannot play

[Longy]

Yep just sitting here waiting for them to sort it out.

Refunds imo.

[matt674]

annoying as after getting shafted in first two tournaments i figured law of averages meant a decent payout in one of the other two

Best bet is as i was watching myself getting antied away the tourney paused briefly and the message "there will be additional time added to allow players with internet routing problems to reconnect" - then 15 seconds later it started again

gee thanks - plenty of time!!

[matt674]

can't believe they are allowing the tourneys to continue - at one table there are 2 players and 7 sitting out and at the other 3 players and 6 sitting out

The ones left in must think it is Christmas

[matt674]

have put tonights touneys stakes on the front page - at the moment all i have to add is how much return on tonights $10 - i have asked for stakes to be refunded on tournaments and if i hear anything back and get receive any cash i will add the money back as part of the winnings so that the total profit figure will be accurate

[matt674]

he called so fast his chips beat mine into the middle - and yet another good call was rewarded on the river......

he's not putting in a quarter of his chips then folding though is he?

[matt674]

Well after chasing stars support again tonight having received no response in 3 days they return by telling me that they are going to refund my buy in for the $20 but told me that my request to have my buy in for the $10 refunded were turned down - because i managed to cash....

The fact that i was handicapped by 25% of the field being able to remain sitting in and stealing the blinds and antes and building stacks for well over 30 minutes while stars did nothing despite knowing that they had major problems is immaterial.

i have added the $22 to the winnings column so that the profit figure is up to date
