I have been playing cash games on pokerstars since late 2006. I'm a german citizen living in venezuela, and usualy cash out using direct bank transfer to my german bank account. today my cashout was declined, since they say that i'm living in venezuela and can't cashout to my german bank account. i usualy spend between 7 to 8 months in venezuela and the rest of the year in germany. as a matter of fact i always go there since my son receives therapy twice a year. I'm also registered under my parents address since 2007.
i had the same problem back in 2009 when i requested them to send me a rsa token to my venezuelan address. back then i talked on the phone to a really nice asian dude from ps support, and he had enough common sense to understand my situation. since i didn't wanted to cashout to a venezuelan bank account since this is a huge hassle.
well to make a long story short, this time the support dude is acting stupid and says i need to use different cashout options like neteller. I'm still trying to reason with them but in the meantime does anybody knows if i can make transfers from neteller to my german banking account? in that case i will try and activate my neteller again.
I want to change about 150k fpp. Is there a limit regarding what amount I can change using the concierge service on Pokerstars? I know that it can only be used once per month. I have changed amount of 500-1000$ at the rate of 500$/31000 fpp.
Email i send to pokerstars support. pretty much self explanatory. I'm posting this cause it might happen to somebody else. I made a 1 min video of a screen recording for PS support, can be downloaded here.

Hello Ingo,
Thank you for your email.
It seems that you have activated the new 'Hide Hole Cards'
feature accidentally.
'Hide Hole Cards' is an exciting new feature that will help you
play with your friends in the same room (for Home Games
specifically).
Activate or deactivate it by clicking ctrl + h or 'Options' -
'Table Display Options' - 'Hide Hole Cards'.
When this option is activated, it will only show your hole cards
when you move your mouse over them.
This is particularly useful if you are hosting a Home Game,
allowing you to play with friends in the same place without
having to worry about shuffling, dealing, chips, tricky side pots
or peeping pals!
If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to
contact us again.
Regards,
Andre

yea that was it. wasn't aware of that feature. guess it's new. kind of inconvenient to put the shortcut ctrl+h, since the h is just below the y and might easily be confused with ctrl+y shortcut. and can become a nightmare when masstabling and you are not aware of the problem.
So I set up my two monitors (dell 27") in portrait mode. doesn't looks as nice, but is much more comfortable to multitable, since i can tile 16 table comfortably and don't have to move the head so much from side to side.
Beside that i had problem loosing the small mouse pointer during play. i downloaded an awesome programm called bigmouse. it's just a very small programm that runs directly (no need for instalation) and attaches a giant red mouse cursor to the original cursor. For some reason you can't see it on the screenshoot, however the original cursor is still located at the tip of the giant red pointer so i maintain the precision while clicking.
I'm also feeling really good, cause i ran really hot today booking 16bis.
Good Luck everybody hope you guys run as good as me today at the tables.
I'm a little drunk right now. my bankroll has been really low and trying to make enought money to provide for expenses. this probably sound like a stupid idea, but i'm just typing and that's all
my life:
born: hamburg, germany
father: german
mother: hungarian
1985: left germany at the age of 10 on a sailing yacht to trawel around the world. (lived on the yacht 11 years)
1987: stayed in venezuela to get me up to date in school in a international german school called colegio humboldt.
1990: studied in night school trying to finish high school wich i never did.
1991: left home (parents) at the age of 16 in a foreign country
.... had a ton of jobs that included , pool shark (hustling) cleaning swimming pools, hotel receptionist, tourist guide, professional diver, captain, shipping agent, seaman.
1998 meet a nice girl to whom i married and got my head fixed. she had a 2 year old daughter who's 14 now.
2002 my son got born
2005 my son got diagnosed autism
2007 bought my own apartment
2011 still playing mediocre poker trying to survive.
dunno why i'm typing all this. life is strange w/e.
I´m a ssd noob. however I´m putting together a system, based on
DFI LP MI P55-T36 MICRO-ITX board / intel i5 / 4gb ram. I´m kind of on a tight budget, since i allready spend alot for a monitor and rest of the system, so I´m looking at these 2 ssds.
Ozc Vertex 2e 60gb (105€)
intel x25-m 80gb (160€)
I´m currently using a 74gb raptor setup for OS and database, so capacity wise any of these 2 is good enough for me.
If performance is similar i would like to go with the Vertex to save some bucks
if anyone has experienced with these harddrives, i would appreciate some advice.
Started the month running really hot until about the 15th, took some shots at 200nl, ran like crap and had to move back down.
Also made decent $$ from fpps. Overall november was pretty swingy.
My graphs always seem to be pretty ridiculous. running on fire this month, guess i´m getting compensated for october.

last 250k hands or about 2.5 months

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
And after a while, you can work on points for style.
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you
get older.
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man,
All alone and dying of cancer.
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw
around.
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the stone.
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused.
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used.
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise.
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this
maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun,
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

Who was broken by trained personnel.
Who was fitted with collar and chain.
Who was given a pat on the back.
Who was breaking away from the pack.
Who was only a stranger at home.
Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone.
Who was dragged down by the stone.
