PokerStars software quirk

Normally when you play in a satellite, every one who gets an entry ties for first. But not me!

I can just imagine the convo at Stars HQ...

Lenny: Hey, it looks like Conan776 is going to earn a ticket to the Sunday Lotto
Murray: What? That's impossible. His doomswitch is still on.
Lenny: See for yourself.
Murray: Ridiculous! OK, well... I guess we're going to have to give him a ticket, but let's make sure he doesn't feel too good about it.

When I'm up you're coming down

  1. I emailed PokerStars support, but only got the standard canned there-is-no-doomswitch email in reply. But, c'mon, we're through the looking glass here, people!

  2. I remember seeing this type of thing many times in the Double or Nothing SnGs which were similar to satellites in that everyone that won finished 1st.

    The times this came up is when on the bubble 3 players were all in with three different chip stacks and the largest stack won the pot knocking out both of the shorter stacks.

    But, of the two shorter stacks, the player that started the hand with the most chips wins the prize. For some reason though they didn't get marked as finishing 1st though.

  3. Yeah, that is indeed what happened here. I just thought it was amusing. ;-)
