Stars

[BBOB]

I please want my stars removed it does nothing but make me a target for bluffers or takes away action from tighter players it defeats the purpose of playing online. Its a complete scam in my opinion makes me not want to play on cash side anymore on this site. If others want to know how I play they should have to watch and learn. Its unfair because I use my own judgement and make notes on others why should people automaticaly have an idea of how u play without playing a pot with you?

BBOB I think it would be good to contact 24/7 support and tell them how you feel...


and if this helps, I have another theory on the stars...

I play cash games everyday

I do quite ok

I have a nice lot of money in my account

But I have never deposited EVER..started from winning freerolls

And I have no stars so what does that tell you?

I only saw russian and italians plyers with these stars. It must be something like worse players ever. Let them put their time in fixing chat on the tables and the chatsite on OP. If they have time to make this crap, focus on the more important issues.

What a joke...

please excuse me jumping in here, but I have contacted 24/7 to request removal of my stars, you can read the whole dialogue here : star rating info from the horse's mouth

i was told it was impossible, and that the system rates EVERY player ( cash side ).
also, i have NEVER deposited, either,.. and i have stars... so what does that tell you? heheheee

[yeoman42]

the star system is a gimmick and a farce,i only hope you have the option of accepting them or declining them,i for one would never want them.gl m8s on the tables your all stars in my eyes

[CaptainSandy]

As a regular cash player I'm finding if I have a good day I get an extrastar, if I have a bad day I lose astar so not sure if it's because players are voting or due to an algorythm.
I'd certainly rather they were scrapped but it doesn't affect my play at all - I just ignore them.

more from the horse's mouth:

Please wait for a site operator to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Zsuzsa'

Zsuzsa: Welcome to Live Help, my name is Zsuzsa.
Zsuzsa: How may I help you?
Zsuzsa: hi
godzilla: hello can you please remove the stars?
Zsuzsa: i am very sorry but this is not an option now to get it removed
godzilla: ...then why doesn't everyone have them?
godzilla: ??
Zsuzsa: because you need to play at least 250 hands to be rated
Zsuzsa: by the other players and also by the system
Zsuzsa: as soon they have at least as much hands their stars will appear too
godzilla: i know of a winning player who has been here for a very long time who has no stars.
Zsuzsa: maybe he did not play so many hands since the time we have the rating system
Zsuzsa: be sure everyone is included in the system and noone has a favor not to have stars
godzilla: ahhh, so its 250 hands SINCE the system has been introduced,.. i see.
godzilla: is it only for cash players or play chip as well?
Zsuzsa: yes as from before it would not be fair if only the system would rate
Zsuzsa: it need to be 250 hands on real money tables
Zsuzsa: after that the system will calculate all ratings
godzilla: .. and to make sure i understand, please.. the system rates you regardless of whether or not another player has, correct? so even if no one rates you , you will still show stars after 250 hands.
Zsuzsa: yes exactly
godzilla: ok thank you very much have a nice day.
Zsuzsa: You're welcome.
Zsuzsa: have a great day too
Zsuzsa: bye bye

soooo....

[CaptainSandy]

Cheers, now understand, very interesting.
Still rubbish idea though.

[roo27]

i can only asyme that you need 250 hands played from the cash ring tables as i must of played many many more than this in the cash tornys yet still have no rating wheres i very rairly play the ring tables so this might be the same for you ausangle

[DeanReeves66]
