Played on here when I was in Wildwood and Atlantic City for 2 weeks last year. Only put a very minimal amount on there since I was using my phone internet in Wildwood and, obviously, didn't play more than 30 minutes while in AC.

Very soft competition, won 4 or 6 low buyin SNG's in a row. Turned my ~$10 deposit into a couple extra nights in AC. Makes me wish it was legal everywhere.

philly where ya been??? havnt seen you at the tables

**sweep** · 12-07-16, 09:46 AM

Variance kicking my ass today....flopped 3 sets and lost everyone. One to quad's and 2 others to some runner, runner bullshit

**USCPHILLYGUY** · 12-18-16, 08:13 PM

Sweep are there free roles every sunday night? 2nd Sunday in a row I received an email saying I cashed in a tourney that I didn't play in because wasn't in NJ....this week won $7 on a 1426 person free role and finished 732

Every Sunday night this month, Christmas Festival all in shootouts. Flipping tourney. We can only watch & can't play, don't need to be logged in to win. Earning 10 VPP's during the week & you're entered, if you activated in challenges tab.

$2,500 for 1st is pretty sweet, for not doing anything. I finished 248th tonight for $12.

just one of many great promo's going on this month.....came in 46th place for a free $20

**bobbywaves** · 12-31-16, 05:58 PM

This months promo is a cash royal, where you can win up to 5k per day by completing poker puzzle. Was given a $100 cash reward (1% probability) for completing today's puzzle: http://www.pokerstarsnj.com/poker/pr...ns/cash-royal/

When I made first & only deposit of $20 about 7 months ago, my goal was to turn it into 2K eventually via cash games & promos. Almost halfway to goal, will update progress periodically:

Completed 2 puzzles for this promo so far and got one fukkin dollar both times

also, the VPP/Starcoins counter is all fukked up. Played for hours yesterday and earned ZERO!

Here is a quote from the StarsNj rep on 2+2:

We're aware of the issues with the VIP Steps progress bar on PokerStars NJ and are investigating it. Any StarsCoin owed will be reimbursed to any players materially affected in the coming days. Apologies for the inconvenience caused, and I'll provide an update when I have more info on when the issue will be fixed. Regards, Dylan

**sweep** · 01-02-17, 11:22 AM

Update:

posted about an hour ago:

Issue should now be fixed and players should see their progress bar and be earning StarsCoin. However, players are owed StarsCoin for VIP Steps they completed so far this year up until now. We'll have to get a report and then credit all affected players, which may take a couple days to complete. I'll post here when credits have been made, and again apologies for the inconvenience. Thanks,Dylan

**sweep** · 01-04-17, 10:03 AM

in the midst of a heater and Stars disconnects everyone and boots from tables for a "scheduled" 10am server upgrade

WTF!

Zero mention of this "scheduled" upgrade anywhere on site/email/2+2 and why the F wouldnt you do this at 4-5am

Horrible management decision

I live right across the GW Bridge in the Bronx. Is there anyway I can play without going into Jersey?

unfortunately there is not....the Stars geo-location system is top notch. Your best option is to find a coffee shop in north jersey with wifi and play there

USCPHILLYGUY, Ok thanks.

**sweep** · 01-06-17, 08:50 AM

USC is correct....you can open an account in Uganda if you wanted too. As long as your inside the Jersey state lines you can play anytime
