Yeah also for that last QQJ6 hand spot. Problem was that there was BB ante in use so it would have cost 2k from my 6.5k stack and force to go with close to anything in two hands. So probably I had to go with those queens. But no idea about shortstack omaha. Probably range should favour big cards quite a bit. Having A or K would have been great though.
Started pokerstars today to deposit 10$ to get into 5.2k$ ticket raffle here on PS: Well there was offer to deposit 300$ or more to get 300$ worth of spin&go tickets so I thought why not. Its freeroll anyway. So I deposit and get noted that offer is completed. I try to open chests and... nothing happens. Lame ass animation just runs. Well I go from my laptop to desktop and try again, same issue.
I contact chat support and they recommend trying to open from different place. No help. Then they ask to logout and login again. Also to try through website. I logout and relog, no help. I try to login on web page and for some reason my PIN code is not accepted. Same code that work just fine on client login. Well I get information that chests open usually nicely on mobile client. So I download it and try to login. Well it asks PIN code but with limitation of max 6 numbers. Mine is 7 numbers.
So I contact chat again and tell them situation. They now open chests manually and I finally get my six 50$ spin tickets, lol. Would have preferred 25$ tickets but cannot be changed. Anyway will play those spins likely tomorrow and see if I realize any value from this freeroll. Did play 1$ version to win whopping 3$ when I just tested how registration work. Well chat said it will use tickets automatically which was what I wondered as there was no way to select ticket or money in registration.
But really... Site has this awkward chest vip thing for rakeback and it has issues like this?

I presume that the "different place" is from the "My Stars" button in the right-hand column.
This usually works, but if not, then support will open them.
This has happened to me once before -- the rest of the time the My Stars technique worked

Played those spins today morning. Went pretty nicely with getting two 3x multiplier if I remember right. Won two 3x and one 2x anyway so 340โฌ profit from that freeroll. Withdrew moneys right away. I dont like stars, period. Will upload recording I made from those. Some interesting spots.

Yeah usually it doesn't work quite that well when you flop nuts and give villain chance to bluff. Changed flop to correct one. It was KK8 and not K88 as I had posted first.
Oh well seems like I have to still play a bit on stars. Got their "money laundering" message and have to wager my profits once before being able to withdraw them. Probably will play some sng then. Though hopefully my usual stars run won't activate and stack to more than 1000bin below EV run.
Played couple husng. It's nice when you get rematch versus same guy you have won twice already and they get totally tilted. Had first hand of third match where I got KQo on BU. Minraised, villain 3bet to 5.5bb and I take flop. Stacks are 33bb at start.
Flop comes Q52r, villain cbet 2.5bb and I call. Turn is K, villain shove almost 2xpot and shows 72o ![]()
Unfortunately didn't get 4th match anymore. Well end of second match perhaps tilted him as I limp-called pre with A5o, hit AK8dd flop and called flop and turn bets. Rivered backdoor flush versus his K8. Was close preflop whatever to call or shove but he raised only 2.5bb so I think both options are ok. Had 20bb stacks.
They have really screwed that stars client it seems. Played 13 6max turbo sng today to fulfill money laundry requirement on my winning. Went pretty nicely:

But yeah I got these popups roughly 20 times. Though most of time connection seemed to work just fine.

Then at half point another weird thing started. Everytime game finished and I closed table whole client froze... My connection seemed to work just fine but client was like 5-10 second not responding.
Kind of questionable hand from reggy looking opponent. Well I am not sure. Its reasonable I suppose but problem is he is pretty much never ahead. Sure he is not often dominated either but 20bb call to make at best breakeven play seems meh to me.

It sounds like the problem was on the server end.
You may already know of this, but...
You can check this by going to the help menu on the right-hand side of the client.
In there is a "Show Network Status" button.
You will see how the different servers around the world are doing.
OK, but did it open?
I got there a couple of times, but the chest would not open -- and once more where it opened but gave an error message.
In all cases it took support to open the chests.
Yeah every chest opened. Got like 10โฌ value from them overall. Used shop points for few spin tickets.
I would like to create bit of different type of content to my youtube channel. So thought of making analyze on someone else hand history. Could be mtt or sng hand history or recorded session. So will record analyzing video of it and post it to my youtube channel. This offer is free so if someone interested post material on my blog or send via skype etc.
