McG Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Re: PokerStars Guiness Book of Records Attempt Well, I HAD been in, then I was playing a $2 satellite this afternoon, thought I was certain to qualify (short-stacked, about 26th of 37, top 35 qualified), and the bubble lasted about 25-30 minutes, and I finished in 36th (for $5), but I'd already unreg'd, so as to save myself some dosh:wall Anyway, used GaF's 2-stage trick and I'm in again :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Re: PokerStars Guiness Book of Records Attempt O.K whats the facination? I just dont get it! The usual 8:30 Sunday night game on Stars is $10 + $1 and attracts about 25,000 runners with $250k in the prize pool. Bubble usually bursts just after the 2-hour mark, when the top 16% double their money (plus a bit), and there are bigger prizes for getting much further. Tonight, there's 35,000 runners, but the prize pool is $500k ($150k added by Stars :ok). Also, you only need to get to top 25% (8,750) to win $20. I think the bubble will burst in the same 2 hours or less ;). So, added value, novelty value, and should be relatively easy :unsure to limp in to the money if that's what you prefer to do. I'll be missing the start as we are having Sunday tea/games with friends, so won't be getting back until about 9pm. I don't mind you slow-folding if you're on my table ;) :hope to all having a go.

gazza Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Re: PokerStars Guiness Book of Records Attempt Keep trying Gazza - it still works :) Not for me it doesnt, just wasted another half hour trying and must have pushed the button 14 or 15 times. Really am stopping now. fcuked off, seems everyone else can get in this way except me, must be something with my laptop or something.

JulioArca Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Re: PokerStars Guiness Book of Records Attempt I waited until the register button was available, clicked ok on the message and then clicked the radio button for the buyin. I then waited and waited and waited until the lobby showed 34999 again. Then I hit ok asap and it worked (after about three goes at it).

SonicMan Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Re: PokerStars Guiness Book of Records Attempt the winner might get their name in the book I am sure the winner will get in the books - only reason I am playing I think at least they will get mentioned on the stars website :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Re: PokerStars Guiness Book of Records Attempt how about giving your details to someone who has done it' date='might be the only way[/quote'] I'm not sure that's the best idea - I think stars are quite hot on people logging on from other machines ..... then again .... if you're not actually playing for someone else, you're not doing anything wrong.....

Could be something in the wireless mouse theory though. :unsure Anyway, I've also given up now that I'm playing another game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Re: PokerStars Guiness Book of Records Attempt Decided to give it another go with the keyboard. After about 3 goes I got a different message saying I was in a queue of people who had pressed the button at the same time as me. Still didn't get in. :eyes I really have given up now. :lol Good luck everyone. :ok Anyone else think this WR could be beaten quite easily by making it 40000 entry level?

GaF Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Re: PokerStars Guiness Book of Records Attempt Real purpose of the game is probably to test how far they can push their servers without meltdown :unsure So they probably just want to inch forward rather than set records :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
