The last day is Aug. 10th. Just FYI, I've got 3 pending bonuses there that I'm slowly work off (I've had 4, at most). I've made withdrawals after making the deposit for the bonus (I think you have to wait 2 days, but I'm not sure about this); I'm greatful that Stars gives deposit bonuses and I try to not abuse the system; I always leave more than enough to play with on their site.

Ok, now I have had it with stars.
My very first game!! I pick a sit & go headsup. I see hold'em $5. so I take a seat and after 5 minutes someone joins me. That took quite some time. Most of the time I don't have to wait. Now I had to wait 5 minutes. Strange. I realized it was a limit game!! WTF. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I hate this game. And this has happened more then once before. Not only with me. They should name it limit hold'em. Like they name NL hold'em. it easier for us to read. It sounds stupid, but if you're not paying attention and you click for a big game and afterward you realize it's not the game you wanted to play. Anyway, it's my own fault. But on the other side. They should name those games "limit"!
I start playing and I notice he's very tight. Probably a newbie, he calls till the river and then folds. Every time. He loses his money very fast. This is the last hand.

There's a lot of handhistories. Be prepared
There're hands that I should fold. I don't know how to play limit. ANyway. This guy is extremly lucky. This never happens to me, only stars. They just don't like me. I'm gonna withdraw my $600. I lost this heads up match. After his last hand he got so lucky on every flop. I couldn't do anything. I got 2 FFP for that game
yihea, joy of my life.

just in case anyone was still interested in getting this bonus, it exprires today...

BUT... I just e-mailed support, and told them I needed a few days for the EFT to make it to my Neteller account, and I asked if they could extend the deadline for me until Friday, and they said that was fine.

If you think you might want to go after this bonus, you can e-mail support the same as I did...

see ya on the tables!
