Jason is an unknown quantity at this point
Does anyone have experience, information, or links on running private games online @ PokerStars? I'm Platinum Star and have heard they would do it for me if I requested but only tournaments. Is that true? Is there a min or max stake? Is the rake structure similar to the other games they already run. Can I hand pick each user-name who is allowed to enter in lieu of a password or some other verification to only get the players I want in and not risk a password breach? Any other information would be appreciated.

It's for tournaments only. Rake is standard 10%. Minimum is $5.

Here's the rules.

1) A password is required, and must be 6 characters or more. The
password is case sensitive. The password must not be used in the
message or tourney name fields, as it cannot be displayed in the
tournament lobby.

2) Stud games may not be Pot Limit or No Limit.

3) We recommend tournaments be deployed several days prior to their
start times for best turnout, though we can run events on as
little as 60 minutes notice.

4) We advise including the buy-in amount in the name of the event,
for clarity. Otherwise, players will have to visit the
tournament lobby to locate the buy-in amount.

5) The "Message" field is optional, and what you place here will be
displayed in the tourney lobby in the upper right panel.

6) An event can be canceled from the software only if there are no
players signed up. Once players have signed up, the event can be
cancelled only by a system administrator at PokerStars.

Please keep all of the fields free of profanity or inappropriate
references. PokerStars reserves the right to remove any event
deployed with inappropriate references. Abuse of the feature by
deploying inappropriate material may result in the loss of this
privilege.

PokerStars provides the ability to create private events as a courtesy
for our frequent players. These events are not intended to be "open"
events, nor to drive traffic from PokerStars to an outside web site.
As such, a tournament title or tournament "lobby message" cannot
contain a URL or an Email address (such as a location where the
password can openly be found).
