Great Game EA! Had Fun!!!!!
Hope to play again next Monday! (12/16)

 

[evilanne]

That was fun...we need get more players to show!

I won't be able to make Monday...I was thinking it was today

There is an update for those playing tomorrow

 

[tsptalk]

I think I've updated the schedule to all Sundays, but it is going to start TONIGHT. Sorry for the late notice - just getting home. Also, I can't make it tonight, sorry.

 

[evilanne]

I just registered....registration is 20,000 now but I have plenty of chips. Thank you for doing that!

Only 15 minutes for someone else to register or it will cancel.

 

[tsptalk]

I didn't notice the 20K. I'll take a look.

I also have $1.2M so I'm not sure if that's an issue?

 

[tsptalk]

Looks like $20K is the minimum now.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Hi Tom, We played tonight, payed the $20K and I don't think it will be a problem considering we get $15K in new chips every time we log on to PokerStars.

We missed you but had a great time tonight!!!


PSA!!! WE want MORE PEOPLE to sign up and play!! We welcome new players at any time and beginners are always welcome! We just changed our schedule and now play every Sunday at 7 PM CT.

If you would like to join us, please send a PM to "tsptalk" so Tom C can provide you with instructions on getting into our group.

P.S. I promise I will not bite hard, but I can't say the same for any of the others!! Lol...

I had to recreate a new tournament to get one for next week - basically I started all over so if you registered for any tournament already you may have to do it again. Sorry.

So now it looks like there is a game every Sunday, but I though I did that yesterday too so... :dunno:

 

[evilanne]

Thank you. I just signed up...need at least one more to sign up by 7:00 CST or it will cancel automatically

7 MINUTES

 

[evilanne]

IT CANCELLED

Maybe we need to adjust the start time

I don't have enough play money to play. I will not send money to pokerstars.com for the free games.

HI PO, Every time you log in, look in right hand corner. There is a button that says "FREE CHIPS". Click on it and it will give you $15K in free chips.
Since game now costs $20K, you will need to log in every day for a few days to build up your chip count. I think it only gives you the free chips once a day.

I was not able to get in... I could not find the game. I am going to ask Tom about it. I do see a game for 1/26, and I have registered for it. I guess no play for tonight unless we coordinate to play at the same open table on POker Stars.



Thanks!
DBAnnie

Please excuse my grouchiness, been that kind of a day. We/I'll get it figured out. I think you need me to donate chips every week.;damnit

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

PO and EA,
If you like, try to join the FUN SCORPIUS table. Low buy in and I am going to sit there for a bit.

 

[tsptalk]

I believe the "free chips" button refreshes every 4 hours so theoretically you can get $15,000 in free chips every 4 hours, whether you're playing or not.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

HI PO, There are a couple ways around this. I did not know free chips refresh every 4 hours ---Thanks for info on that Tom !!!

So either go in every 4-5 hours, click on Free chips to get 15K at a pop, and build yourself a little pot. Plus every time we play on Sunday remember to hit the Free Chips button to keep up your stash. This is likely the BEST way to build up chips.

Alternative: You and me agree on date and time to meet at PokerStars table, and you work to get familiar with how to quickly find a table at Poker Stars by TABLE name.
Then on agreed date/time, I will let you know what table I am at (i.e. post the name here) and you find me at that table and sit down. Table will likely have a low buy in of about $4k. Then I will lose/donate a few BIG hands to you while no one else is at the table (hopefully). Thereafter you just remember to click FREE Chips every Sunday when you come to our TSPTALK poker table.

Hope your day is going better today---lol.... get Happy ---today is a holiday!!
Oh wait...... that's right, EVERYDAY is a holiday for you since your retired!!!! I am jealous! :smile:

Thanks about the alternative scheme, I think. Let’s not do that. It does say a lot about my lack of poker skills. I used to hold my own in groups of airmen at friendly games with a quarter limit. Thinking about it now, none of us ever got in to big games because we all sucked at poker. Just having fun.

I figured out how to get free chips. I haven’t seen the green free chips button for a while, all I see is star rewards. I had enough of a stash when it was 450 per game so I didn’t really notice. Now at 20,000 it didn’t take long to run dry. For whatever reason I get no free chip button but if I go to cashier/play money tab and click collect, it gives me 15,000 chips. Only works every four hours. So I am working on it.
