Depending on the time of the day SpinWiz is forced to wait between 7 and 40 seconds for someone to fill 1 - 3 tables. Without knowing how many tables players usually open I can't tell the exact average for one table.

Edit: this goes for $60s

That is two great ideas!

That's an option but many people I know view to opportunity to sit certain 'regs' a reward enough in itself.

It is an advantage of a Zoom-style lobby that Pokerstars would waste less time (money/resources) on effort to detect/prevent collusion.

This is because SpinWiz enables unscrupulous individuals to collude to sit together ATM and Pokerstars has to waste more resources trying to detect that potential collusion or else face the reputational damage when the collusion is discovered by others. I suspect in such a scenario the other SpinWiz users may well be more likely to discover the collusion than Pokerstars because SpinWiz users have access to the Spinwiz user list and Pokerstars doesn't.

In a Zoom-style lobby one of the specific intents going forward would be to up-front ban and programmatically deliberately prevent third party software from affecting the queue by, for example, having a 30 minute wait before being able to re-enter the pool after leaving the pool to prevent a player from playing one game, leaving, re-entering based on a Spinwiz-like queue.

1. In Zoom cash, pools are smaller in higher stakes than smaller stakes and you definitely need a certain minimum number of players to sustain a Zoom pool. Whether you would have that in $60 spins no-one would know until Zoom-style was launched but Pokerstars would have the player data to model the likely experience now.

2. With cash Zoom, lower stakes were introduced first to test pool viability and then gradually higher stakes were launched as the format gained in popularity. Same could be done for Zoom Spin&Go's.

3. With Zoom-style you would enter the pool not just to play 3 games but to play for multiples of say 3 games: a time interval like half an hour or 100 games 3 at a time or until I finally click the leave the Spin&Go pool checkbox at my table.

4. Repeat games (because of point 3) would start faster than today's Spin&Go which is manual for some of the registrants. Spinwiz managing a separate queue of players with manual arrival of others directly to the pokerstars lobby is obviously slower than all players in one automated queue for repeat games.

I wonder what the breakdown by stake level is?

Whatever, this suggests Zoom pools would be quite healthily large for many stake levels.

Maybe it's a stupid question , but I'm gonna ask anyway
Can spin wiz users target non users?

Sort of - half the idea of the program is to slowly drip users in to the pool one at a time so they sit with at least one non-user. But you cannot target any particular non-user, as you could with a cash game tablescanner or sharkystrator.

Ok , I understand.
Thanks Dave

hi baard,

The unregging when disconnected function is definitely not working.

I've just been dc at 9:04 while open sitting 3 lobby and the games started at 9:05, 9:08 and 9:10.

Here is a screen with the tournaments # if it can help : https://gyazo.com/0a19d58aa33f954f8b14be3b13428146

hey after upgrading to windows 10 hu sng rematch window appears in front of lobby and not in front of the table that has just finished. how to fix this ?

hide own playername from observers watching the table as long as you dont get a grip on all those handhistory selling dataminers. and its not just handhistory-selling.
just add is as a feature, wud extremely improve privacy.

already wrote a mail to u asking bout it but u dont seem to respond to any mail anymore.

Please implement a Hotkey, that when pressed allows me to directly type in the bet amount. So for example i want to bet t120 on table1: i activate table1, press the new hotkey, type 120 and hit enter. That would be very very convinient, esp if you dont use a mouse but another device.

This still works well for me: http://windyhilltech.com/poker/ps/index.php

Can't remember whether you have to set it up a special way, but when a new table comes into focus I have a cursor flashing in the bet box by default.

Man if this works your the man

About time to give people DC-status, and not Sitting out status if they have bad connection when a SNG starts!!

Why?
1) Because anyone with a grasp on winrates know how sick it is to start the SNG with -20 chips
2) Since there has been some serious lag lately, you have a responsibility to offer fair games.
3) You (Stars) will save alot of time and money, not having to respond to emails claiming refunds. It's obv a good business idea.
4) Last time this was posted ITT, it got like a gazillion likes.
5) It can't possibly be that hard of a fix.

Thank you

Please do this. Sometimes I get this a dozen times a day, I know it's mainly on my end but this would fix everything.

Yes! Do this. Should be a no-brainer.
