Lock buys Cake? - Page 4 - Two Plus Two

TheFlushMonSter · 05-12-2012, 09:06 PM

I hope it is for all VIP , or maybe after WHITE, but mostly all players following the new LOCK movement should be able to use it right away. I also remember you telling me Shane about the new MERGE software. So if you guys designed it mostly and all that good stuff why dont you do something about it, or is it already done?

Please do NOT have a BBJ on the new site. I ****ing hate Bad Beat Jackpots.

You might need to update your HEM1

I don't remember the whole thing and didn't really follow it, but Cake started allowing HUD's several months ago (a year?) as I recall.

Why you hate BBJ, just a way to win ton of money, and you do not have to play it. I tell you what some people kids amaze me..............

flush - Most knowledgeable people here agree that BBJ is terrible for the games for a number of reasons.

#2. What changes do you want to see in the software?

We have already seen people say they hate the software because you cant multi-table, so firstly want to make sure we are all talking about the most recent version of the software and then want to find out what you what changed.

We actually designed most of the Merge software update which should finally go live soon, so while we will launch with a Lock Skinned version of the existing Cake software we are already working on integrating our all the things we loved from our work on the Merge update as well as a few things we wanted which we couldn't get built in the Merge system.

I've been playing on cake since 2006 (and am on 4 tables of cake while I type this, and 7 tables of lock)

1.) Time bank feature please

2.) When resizing tables...the "smallest" size is HARD to see. So I play on the shrunk down version of the normal sized table. If we could always keep the "full sized but smaller sized" version, it'd be awesome. I hate when it "simplifies" when the table is at it's tiniest.

3.) Please get rid of the massive amount of bots on cake. I'll pm you the site name where you can buy the bot. But they're EVERYWHERE at cake full ring.

4.) No bad beat jackpot please. I HATE the BBJ on merge, and it's the reason I play so much on cake. If merge didn't have the BBJ, I'd play there 100% of the time.

I haven't played on Cake in awhile, but here's a few things that come to mind which I would like to see.

Stability (does not crash/freeze/disconnect).
Security.
Multi-table friendly.
- Good performance with lots of tables open.
- Extremely clean and easy to read table appearance, at least via options -- I love Merge's mini mode!
- Compatibility with hotkey software, such as AHK.
- Options to limit popups!!!! (and any other potential interruptions/notices).
Hand histories and tournament summaries (compatible with HEM and PT).

wait, will you be able to play on mac?

GTM13 · 05-12-2012, 09:37 PM

Comments on software (Did a test run for a couple days this week and hated it).

-When joining games, make it so that you can get on the waitlist for ALL the games of that level, not just 1 table.

-Make it so you can take notes ALL the time with it. There will be times im typing a note then it will just spaz out and start acting like im spamming the enter key when im not even touching it.

- When I try to color code more then 1 person on a table sometimes, there is a bug where it won't let you color code the second person.

If you don't understand why a solid winning full ring regular would be against a BBJ, then you're an idiot that probably doesn't win at poker anyways.

(disagreeing with my reasons is fine, but not even getting "why" makes you an idiot)

d3 fact0 · 05-12-2012, 09:51 PM

lol at all the vain attempts to school someone with 10 posts and a May 2012 registration date. Your reasoning and logic will probably work better on the wall that you are sitting next to.

detdet · 05-12-2012, 09:53 PM

Shane how will the signups work for the new network? Will lock adopt cake's policy or stick with merge's regarding which states are blocked, etc.?

Thanks for that link. It still said on the link that Cake does not allow HUDs though, even though you can still import the hands to HM. I'd like to hear more about that from a Lock rep to clear it up for everyone.

Not sure about HM but PT3/PT4 works on cake just as it would on lock, acr, etc.

You can email support at support@cakepoker.eu for a definite answer regarding HM, they respond within minutes normally.

Here's a story from November reporting the new Cake policy of allowing HUDs.
