I will try and keep this post short because in all honesty I haven't played much poker recently! This is because, as part of my college course, I go out on work placement for 8 months. Aviva are the lucky company to have my services! This coupled with the start of the gaelic football season, has made me a very busy boy during the week. I train with a gaelic club (Clann na Gael) in Dublin on Tuesdays and Thursdays, my home club (Sean McDermotts) in Louth on Friday and Sunday, and gymming on Monday and Wednesday. Hopefully all this effort pays off this season, but there is only one way to find out! This just means I am too tired to play poker after work and Saturday is the only day I really play anymore.
There is no chance I will keep up SilverStar status for March but I did parlay 100 fpp's into a min cash in the $30,000 VIP weekly freeroll which was good for $6. Today I played a 25 fpp freeroll for the turbo takedown organised by rakeback uk with 25 added seats. 488 registered and luckily I scrapped a seat. It is the first time I have earned a seat for the turbo takedown and I look forward to driving off with the first prize next sunday!
Now onto Pokerstars moderators and in this case moderator267. During the turbo takedown freeroll I got berated by a player for one of my (many!) unorthodoxed plays. Now normally I take this all in jest and never call the moderators into it but on this occasion the player decided to continually call me "negro" and I felt this was unacceptable. But when I did call the mods I got the same response they give every complaint:
"Hello players"
"Please be reminded to keep chat clean nlah blah blah"
Now the mod in question said they had checked the chat log but it is easy to see that they hadn't. I f they had, there response would not be the automated tripe they always spout out. It looks really bad on Pokerstars for this behaviour to be entertained on their tables and they just arn't enforcing their rules on the players. Anyway here are the stats so far for February:
February:
Bankroll = $381 (+ $32)
vpps = 293
That chat mods on stars are volunteers and mostly do a great job. A lot of the time the mods response will be a standard reply, but behind the scenes they go ahead and caution or chat ban the abusive players account.
