I see that play money is now supported, does that include the PokerStars.net client?

And if so, will it work with the Microstakes version of PT?

Thanks

PokerStars.net should be supported - the hand histories should be the same.
I can't remember whether the change was made to allow play money to import into the microstakes version, but if not it is planned.

Are you having problems?

[Spazzer]

Yes, I've tried PT 3.11.5 with both Mac OSX 10.7 without memory grabber enabled (I saw there were problems with the latest version of 10.7),
and 10.6 with memory grabber enabled and I never got the HUD to show, not even the icon.
Tried cash games, haven't tried sit 'n goes although that is what I usually play.

Hand histories aren't saved in PokerStars.net - could that be the problem?

Any ideas?

Yes, you need to be using the .com client for things to be working properly.

Ok. Do you know of a way to keep the update from happening on the Mac PS.com client?

When I tried to run my old version it wanted to update and said it won't work for US players and deleted the client!

I'm afraid I don't have a workaround for that - you might try drilling down into the .app and see if you can try running something else but that's the only thought I have.

PokerStars has been made aware of this issue, but it is not a priority for them as we assume they do not intend to return to the US in the near future. As previously explained the .net client does not write hand histories, but the .com client does continue to work with play money import. For the time being your only solution is to get a friend who lives outside of the USA provide you with the latest .com executable, you can continue to log in but you can only use play money - real money is of course forbidden if your in the USA.

I managed to get the Pokerstars.com client and can play the play money games and hand histories are being written.

However, with my microstakes version of PT it says it can't import that limit - and it shows it as P2/P4 play money.
Do you know when importing of play money hands in microstakes version will come?
