Interesting if it's play money. Why would Stars care if I know they're play money players?

Any idea what a small star on the top of the circle of a Pokerstars avatar means? There's a guy at my table with one and he has no idea what it means either. Nobody at the table does. I checked his...

Re: Pair+ OESD vs shorties
