I was part of a stable on Black Friday. I didn't lose any money myself but two of the backers lost tens of thousands and at least $25k of separate BAPs from outside investors was locked up. Urgh, that's not good, but at least you didn't lose anything yourself. I'm guessing you're a pretty solid player to get backing. In my case, I'm really only a "recreational" player, making a small win-rate at micro stakes (helped along by rakeback of course). Fortunately did not have a very significant amount of money tied up. I do know someone who has two-thirds of his br on FT, though. Not sure exactly how big his br was, but I know he was comfortably rolled for $3/6 and higher, so I'm assuming he's got $100k+ tied up. Hopefully Stars will go ahead with the rumoured buy-out and sort out the whole mess!

Hi one and all! I've already posted a "hello" message in the "Hello & welcome to the forum" thread, but I've been advised that more people will see it if I make a new thread, so here goes. I don't have much of a "story so far", as I'm fairly new to vaping. Started a couple of months ago with an ego/riva 510 type starter kit. Have mainly been direct dripping onto SR atties, but am currently waiting for an order of LR Boge cartomisers to arrive, so I can give those a try. My plan after that is to start thinking about upgrading to a better battery type, but I need to do more research on that. Would be interested to hear how most people progressed, if they started off like me with an ego/riva 510 kit and then upgraded. What's the best next step up the vaping tech tree? As for liquids, I am liking the Grizwald's range, but to be fair, they're the only ones I've tried so far. I guess that I'm similar to most people who move to vaping from analogues, as I was initially looking for something that would replicate a tobacco taste. But after a short while, I've found that the flavours I enjoy most tend to be the caramel / coffee / dessert (as long they're not too sweet) ones. I'm especially loving Griz's Peanut Butter, Toffee Popcorn, and Caramel Cappucino. Any recommendations for other liquids to try based on those preferences would be much appreciated! One thing I've only just realised (after ordering the LR Boge cartos) is that different flavours are suited to different resistances. (I don't know this for certain, I'm just going off what I've read in other threads.) If this is correct, given the types of flavours I prefer, I'm wondering whether LR cartos are maybe not the best choice? ??? That's about it. This seems like an incredibly friendly and helpful forum, so I'm sure I'll be coming back repeatedly with a wide range of newbie questions over the coming months! Some non-vaping trivia, by way of introducing myself: I play guitar (mainly blues/rock/metal); I also play poker (although not as frequently as I used to, since most of my money is currently tied up on the ill-fated Full Tilt site ); and I also play Starcraft 2 (where, as a 38-year-old who has only played the game for about 1 year, I mainly seem to get the snot beaten out of me by 21-year-olds who've been playing Starcraft since they were 11. If you play SC2, and would also like the opportunity to beat the snot out of me, look me up: my ID is Kurotoshiro, character code 350). Nice to meet you all!
