    New question for you after reading the feedback:

    With a budget of $300 for the initial game - would you prefer 1 game paying out $300 at PS home games - or 1 game at PS for $150 and another at Replay for $150? It would give us a chance to test both sites and have 2 different times.

    Payouts could be something like this:

    $300 Prize total:

    1rst - $100
    2nd - $75
    3rd - $60
    4th - $40
    5th - $25

    Or if 2 games each could be:

    1st - $60
    2nd - $40
    3rd - $30
    4th - $20

    I will monitor you responses today and tomorrow to see what the majority want!

      Good morning Denise,

      Personally would rather just choose one site and roll with it(my vote is Pokerstars home games).

      Do not really care if it is one or 2 games but let's do it at one site.

        +1 those comments. Dont make us join two sites.

        Two time slots on one site with half prizes for each might be good though.

          Good to know - I think if it is one site we need to go with PS for now. Good idea though to split the money into 2 games and 2 time slots.

            I have never used either site but will be trying to sign up now. that said I have no preference as to which one we use.

            I Think I'd rather have the two, instead of one. Because I like playing. But either works for me..

              Ok I have downloaded PS home. When I looked at replay it said no download needed. So, I'm ready on that end.

                1 game with bigger prizes is better than 2 with lower prizes

                    That is much easier said than done unfortunately, and with the platform upgrade already in the planning stages that is not something it would make sense to dedicate resources to.

                    What problems do you have with the PokerStars software? I am really curious to hear what you don't like about it. We don't have a lot of choices and it seems to be the best for now. I just want to get some poker going again sooner vs later.

                      Nothing wrong with Pokerstars but ClubGG is my suggestion. Best software there is imo.

                        Ohh - we tried that somewhere else and everyone hated it. I will need to look back when I have time to see what the specific issues were but I do remember we had a lot of issues with the club itself. For example though we were told it would be free - we were getting prompted to pay for it so kept having to get in touch with them over that. This was a couple of years ago and maybe it has improved since then.

                        But for the sake of time and getting this going let's try PS and see how that goes.

                          Just making a quick post - when started my account my real name (Debi) was not available so I used my middle name (Denise) and first initial. We have been able to resolve that now so have changed my name here to Debi.

                                                            Download the poker software from pokerstars.net. It is different software than the one that downloads from the real money site.

                                                            New Jersey

                                                            When not in one of those states, US players can enjoy our Play Money games instead (except in the state of Washington).
