Personally, I would like to move to Pokerstars too, for all the reasons that others have already stated.

Another question on Pokerstars "Home Games" - how are AFKs handled ?

They are my biggest peeve at the moment. They still seem to be a significant problem, to the point where it's putting me off playing. Those of us that can be bothered to be present, aren't seeing anything like the number of hands we deserve and that coupled with the rate at which blinds are raised and antes come in ...

Separate to that - "Home Games" have greater flexibility over the blind raise rate and ante or no-ante, correct ?

PS doesnt throw bots into the mix. We can also set our own blind times. Multiples of 5 iirc!

Sounds good! :cool:

Im ok with a switch to poker stars, as having a bot in the final three is a bit of a joke.

A2Z · 25 Jan 2011 at 14:22

Definately switch to PS

We can all test it out. If we're still all happy we'll have BlackVault create a new club for us!

Will sign up when I get home from work.

What time r we thinking? 9-10pm?

bLuEuK · 27 Jan 2011 at 13:51

This is just a practice game right? not replacing the Sunday slot?

DAIR · 27 Jan 2011 at 13:59

Just a practice!

BlackVault is the sunday organiser.

I propose we have a few practice runs. If we're happy then we all moce to PS.

bLuEuK · 27 Jan 2011 at 14:09

Cool, will be good to see just how much more control there is over games done this way compared to the usual Sunday ones.

Craig321 · 27 Jan 2011 at 18:09

I'll come on Poker Stars. Usual time suits me. 8.30pm Sunday!

The above game better not be replacing the Sunday League!

[Edit]
DAIR: Just tried to sign up and Craig321 has been taken. Just so you know I HAVE NOT signed up with Craig321, if someone has then it's not me. Will be joining as my name from the poker league - Grebil!

[Edit]
Bah, you're kidding! Grebil has been taken as well.

No one under the name Craig321 has tried to join the club

No this isn't to replace Sunday's game. This has been put together to review PS.
