Re: So I guess Stars isn\'t asking to show hole cards at FT\'s anymore.

Shaniac and KneeCo are exactly right on this issue. The point is that Stars is changing their policy, with respect to their largest weekly tournament, without giving the players anything in return.

Results and commentary

I pushed. SB folded; BB called with A2o. My 66 held, so I won the seat.

Afterward, a friend thought that folding would have been the preferable play, preserving my stack while letting the other...

Re: *** Official Stars WCOOP #14 ***

WCOOP - synchronize the breaks

When PokerStars holds two WCOOP events on the same day, the breaks should be scheduled to run simultaneously.

Otherwise, someone playing both events gets no time off.
