PokerStars is on Eastern Standard Time

So I learned a valuable lesson just now. I loaded up my last set of January to clear 7.5k VPPs. $51 in rake I had to spend. I threw in some 16/27/38 9 mans, some 12 45 and 180s, and 1 27 45. Great $51 in rake, well done. So at about 9:27pm as I have 2 games left I load up my VIP Status section.

7,494.04

What? I had 269 points and some change for February. Wow. Really?

Now my status looks like this.


Apparently Stars is on Eastern Standard Time. I did think about this before the day was over. I am Pacific Standard Time in California which is 3 hours behind Eastern Standard Time. So 9pm is the new midnight. Cinderella must have lived on the East Side.

Obviously the only logical next step is to email Stars and ask politely. I really hope they come around on this one.
