Hello Justin,
We had a debate here about your question and we agreed that Darth Vader
could win as he can get kryptonite to defeat Superman and Vader does not
have any known weakness that Superman could use like the kryptonite.

Now, if you need any assistance related to our PokerStars software or your
PokerStars account please let us know and we will gladly assist you.

Regards,
Erick

I gotta agree with them; It's all about mind over matter. Darth is just straight up nasty with the Force.

Dear Player,

Thank you for bringing this to our notice. We do see that the conversation between these players was indeed inappropriate. Hence we have conducted a detailed investigation on both the accounts to check for any possible team play between them.

We have looked into all the necessary aspects of their history in our card room and we would like to share with you these important facts that helped us arrive at a conclusion:

1- Both these players are coming from DIFFERENT STATES in USA.

2- This is the ONLY TOURNAMENT where they have shared tables, in their entire association with this card room.

3- We have gone through all the game records of this tournament and confirm that there is no sign of collusion involved. Also note that we have focused not only on the hands in which the player has been involved, but also all the hands in which they have been together by themselves.

However, we do agree that the table conversation that transpired between these players is inappropriate to say the least. As a result of this report and consequent investigation, we have now

1) Blocked the chatting facilities of the players Superman and DarthVader.
2) Flagged their accounts to periodically review the activities in these accounts.
3) Issued stern warnings to both the players, informing them about possible sterner actions in case such activities are repeated in their account.

We thank you for getting this to our notice, as this is in keeping with our priority of keeping up the integrity of this card room. It indeed is heartening to have players like you in this card room who care about the integrity of our games.
Contact us anytime, we are available around the clock to assist you with your account related questions and suggestions.

This thread rules!

This reminds me of a book I've never read called (I think) "The Lazlo Letters" by Don Novello (Father Guido Sarducci). You should try poo mountain, their tech rep was moderately entertaining in the brown thumb thread.

Hi XXXX,

My support team forwarded your email as they felt it needed a supervisor's
consideration and response.

Obviously there are tons of factors that one must consider in order to draw
a conclusion. Did Vader have access to Kryptonite? Does Superman have access
to a lightsaber? If Superman wanted to, couldn't he fly backwards around the
world at high speeds taking himself far enough to back into the past to
alter the possibility of the various existence of Vader? Could Superman
survive in the different environments that Vader could due to his mechanical
life support system? Would the technology of Vader just simply too much for
Superman to overcome? I mean, let's face it, the guy built the Death Star.
Would the physical strength of Superman be enough to overcome the mental
strength of Vader? Remember that Vader was one of the most talented Jedi
Knights prior to going to the dark side.

Furthermore, we have taken several hours to research several very highly
regarded internet sources (Harvard.con, Supermanvs.Vader.nel,
cardplayer.com, etc), and all seem to be in agreement that Vader, although
the villian, would have more tools and powers to wax Superman's non-playing
Poker Mountain self.

However, we also recognize that there is only one way to resolve this
question, and that would be for Superman and Vader to go head to head. Since
Don King holds Superman's rights and is asking a major fortune for the
fight, I do not believe we will see that match up.

I hope I have been of some help to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me
if I can be of further assistance.

Firstly, I will go out on a limb here and say that this is a hoax.

Secondly, if it's not a hoax, damn is it ever sweet! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Pokerstars support would reply if you asked them what you should have for lunch Jake.

And it would be nutritious and tasty too.

Read the Brownthumb thread in the zoo ( This monster. Very long but utterly classic. (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&amp;Board=inet&amp;Number=1745746&amp;fpart= &amp;PHPSESSID=) ). Katie was the tech support from poo mountain that chimed in there, and the style of this response is similar. My guess is it is real.

[Matt Flynn]

Stars is incorrect. Superman could acquire an ysalamiri. With proximity that would cut Vader off from the Force, immediately making him normal.
