Pokerstars private tourney advertisements...

[whiskeytown]

had this happen about 10 times this week...

I get these messages about once an hr. now in my SNG's - people spamming to join their private tourney...

seems to me, if you can't do the damned thing with your friends...then there's no point.

I'm getting these too, and no, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but... if I'm a stranger in a private tourney, I think I might be at a disadvantage if the "friends" are not above colluding to win strangers' money.

I was getting the same thing, so I went and checked it out and the guy spamming was in the tourney. Then 10 minutes before it started he unregistered lol.

I'm even getting these for limit sit n gos in ring games.

That's interesting. I've never checked it out, but I guess this probably means that PokerStars shares the private tourney entry fees with the "sponsor."
