Get your money back???? I severely doubt that will happen. Your stack will shrink, and you'll probably not even get an apology. And yes, it appears that some can play, without connection problems. Go figure.

Default fair?

This is not just a reply to gfunk911, I have seen several similar posts tonight. I do think ps needs to make ammends to those who have been screwed, but think about this quote.

So if I read this correctly, it is quite alright that the 5 people who got disconnected and whose blinds were being pilfered should get screwed, but you should get more than your buyin back?

just my thoughts and I truly wonder what others think?

I was trading blinds with one or two others for about 20 hands. It was ridiculous. I think if it is only one or two people who are having issues per table then the tourney should go on and those people who are sitting out with connectivity issues should get refunded.

When most of the site has crashed then they should cancel all tourneys and refund all entry fees.

And give us free stress stars to say they're sorry. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I signed up for the 9:15 10+1 Rebuy on PS's. I checked the time and it said 51 minutes until the tourney starts, I came back around 30 minutes later to find that it still only had 21 players registered and still had 51 minutes until start. I shut down ps's and restarted it and now the tourney is "announced" rather than registering with players. Interesting, hope I get a credit. Seems as if everyone is having the same problem. I'm sure Pokerstars keeps great logs so while it might take a while to refund all the players it will more than likely get done eventually. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I hear exactly what you're saying, I agree with you completely. I know that giving what a mess the site is, they should probably jsut refund everyone's money. I happened to insta rebuy to 3k, get up to 5500 on hand 3 before problems, and have only taking a grand off of disconnected players. Most of my wins have been against live players. It would really stink to jsut get my money back, but again, that's probably the best way to go

Took me awhile to get in with DSL, but things are running fine here. Just entered the $11 rebuy event @ 10:15
