Re: **Official PokerStars Heads Up SNG Improvement Thread**

some (new?) ideas:

+ make an "I'm ready" button like FTP had to skip the 15 sec pause at the start of the match
+ get rid of the pause after 2nd hand (why does that happen anyway?)
+ get rid of the pause after announcing new blind level, quite unnecessary for anyone who has played >10 matches lifetime

If a player's commitment to 21 games is voided in the event of a disconnection then that allows for a very obvious exploit should someone not want to continue to the full number of games.

I'm not sure about what I think should happen.
This is why I prefer a system where you get reduced rake/bonus VIPs for additional rematches after the 10th or so. It encourages action but fish don't feel locked in, and we don't have the disconnect problem

I still really like alexrjl's idea the best. Covers everything without having any holes.

Another idea would be to reduce rake for the 2nd table if the "add another table" option gets implemented. This would again have the effect of encouraging long battles between regs while not being unfair to fish who want to multitable.

In both cases stars gets something out of the rake reduction as it encourages people to put more games in the short term (either by rematching more or playing more tables). This is a rake model stars clearly likes as it is exactly how the VIP system works in the long term

Also, IMO, people should get in the habit of showing support for the ideas they agree with instead of being passive. Many great ideas in this thread haven't been getting enough love. If hardly anyone '+1s' or shows support for an idea, you can only expect Stars to deem the demand not being high enough to warrant investing time/energy in software changes.

These would be real improvements and they are very easy to implement.

Re: **Official PokerStars Heads Up SNG Improvement Thread**

Why isn't there a HUSNG leaderbord yet?
It would enduce players to play more and the player pool on stars must be big enough to make it profitable for them.

Maybe once FT comes back and people start splitting their action 50/50 on the two sites then they'll do something when they realize how much rake they lose.

Yes this is what I think too.
If FTP has enough Action at hypers again, most ppl will switch because of flat RB AND a leaderboard! Additionally FTP will offer a big "Reload Bonus" and the traffic jumps away from Stars.

When FTP returns, the time of Stars dominance will be over and things have to change.
