Go enter "pokerstars" and "rakeback" into the search engine and see what you get. Most people don't even spell out "pokerstars" and "rakeback".

Some people do not live in this forum thereby seeing every post. Some people just arrived to this forum.

Several posters were nice enough to give me a simple answer and I appreciate that.

Maybe try reading a thread on the search function. A better search term would be:

-re: +pokerstars +rakeback


Check the box that shows preview results and set the range to a year.

Or - all threads could be locked, the forum shut down and no new posts allowed, so that the seen-it-all lifers don't have to go through the hassle of opening some noobs post to tell them once again that This has all been covered before!

Some people who haven't played much on PS may be thinking we're just beating a dead horse when we keep saying the customer service is good...but it's miles and miles ahead of the competition. From their availability on 2+2 to their email support, there is no close comparison.

I played on paradise when they started out, then went to Pokerstars, played on Party (Empire), then back to PS. The legislation was the final blow for me to play strictly at PS, but I was already playing 50/50 Party/PS at that point anyways. I agree that PS would have become the #1 site, just slower without the UIGEA.
