The month of May has started, and whats new?

Well nothing much, the games are still awful, every time i load the pokerstars lobby all I see is this kind of crap




Just the same donk-regs who feel like playing each other in every single game that runs, stinking up the games with their 0-2% ROIs.


Some awesome news from pokerstars is that all their British players are getting a load of free VPPs this month. If you grind out at least 7,500 VPPs then you get an extra 80,000 VPPs added to your account on June 3rd.

This is easily the single best promo that pokerstars have ever run. Not only is 80,000 free VPPs insanely sick but the fact that all non UK citizens are excluded from it makes it even better, so much fun reading the threads on 2p2 full of Americans bitching about how unfair it is.

Pokerstars has to compete for market share in the UK against all the many high street book makers that are well known, established and trusted. In USA pokerstars are basically competing with full tilt.

As one person put it "Pokerstars is a business, not a charity for fat lazy americans with aspergers".




I have plans to play in a week long SNG leaderboard on a smaller poker network that will be starting in just over a week. I'm just getting myself set up with a good rakeback account, shipping a bankroll over, getting used to / modding the software and I should be ready to pwn some fools come next week.

In other news legendary SNG player Spacegravy made it very deep at EPT Monte Carlo but lost a race to the donk Matthew Woodward's awful call close to the final table.

Also, Danny Gans died at age 52. For a very healthy man who was one of the best and most popular acts in Las Vegas for the past decade to die so young is a huge tragedy. RIP.
