so a while back i asked for resizing of tables to be remembered.

but my dumass recently figured out if u resize your first table and then close out, all future tables you open will be that size.

thats good enough for me. actually for the way i play, it works out better than just remembering a size from the get go.

Don't forget to add the ability to view account balance in main lobby.
Thanks.

Who is the representative from Lock Poker that is moderating this thread. Please PM me i have a few non-threatening questions about tracking. THanks

No bad beat jackpot please.

They kill the poker economy. If you are only going to get one thing right on your website, not having BBJ tables is far and away the most important.

Tables with some extra rake for a high variance jackpot kills the poker economy.. at least back it up with something if you're going to pull statements like that out of your ass please?

I wouldn't mind BBJ tables: i love playing em once the jackpot is high, and it'll often make people do things you can exploit very easily, like people playing more hands like suited connectors etc. because they think they're going to maybe make a straight flush vs quads with it something ;-)

Seriously? There is extra rake taken from the table.. and most sites keep a portion of that jackpot, so that extra rake doesn't completely make it back into the poker economy. Then, I would bet most jackpot winners try like hell to get most or all of the money off as quickly as possible to pay off loans, mortgages, vacations, credit card debt, etc etc.

Its pathetic lock is offering bounties on a few of there pros on sunday tournaments, and aren't paying it. Last sunday i knock out "matt stout" in the $530 80k I have sent two emails one saying it will be processed in 24-48 hours, next email says it has to go through promotions and it should be taken care of shortly. Well its now thursday and still no $500 bounty to my account. Why the f$#% should i have to harass them just for them to think about paying me $500 when they are advertising this. It should be an instant payment, or dont have the promotion. I should never have to tell them about their own promotion.!!!

Yep, true

I still don't really get how it "kills the poker economy" though. You have to realise it also attracts people to play on the site at all, i bet there's plenty of casuals/fishy players who would play poker in hopes of hitting the lotto rather than consistently trying to win.

Furthermore, the majority of tables on any site will always be the normal tables, BBJ tables being ran are usually a relatively small percentage.

And.. as i said before: the edge you get playing on these tables can be quite interesting, i'm sure you can agree here. It really does attract bad players, i see it all the time.

it attract fishes and deters the regular players basically. may sound good but not when it greatly decreases traffic.

but it definitely destroys everyones bankroll. the rake on it is ridiculous.

bbj tables definitely not the minority from experience with merge. which you could argue means they love it more. but regardless how extra bad they play it doesnt make up for the additional rake. plus its not like only the regs are hurting. the rec and fish players dont even realize how much money they are burning into that rake and therefore will die out a lot faster too.

it is in lock's best interest to have loss rates as low as possible for all players.

Okay, you convinced me i agree tbh.

add cap games

have 10k buy ins

i disagree, i would love to see BBJ tables. its gets more people in with small pairs and suited connectors. the 50 cents they take outa that pot once it hits a certain amount is fine with me. i know the odds of hitting it are terrible, but years ago on paradise poker i got my quads beat by a straight flush so i saw first hand it does happen. if people wana play they'll put on new money, just cause it eats up money doesn't mean its going to kill bankrolls. they def shouldnt have all BBJ tables but to option to play in them would be great because i find them to be much more profitable especially at like 50 and 100nlh where alot of the games can be pretty tight.

I suggest Lock send an email to both parties when transfers go through.

Allow satellite winners to register for any tournament for the price. For example if I qualify for the $7,500 guaranteed for $109, I should be able to withdraw from that tournament and be able to use it on another tournament like the $110k on sundays.

I know this has probably been suggested before but i'm sure it will make a lot of players happier. It might even boost the amount of players playing these satellite tournaments.

make us able to disable ourselves from playing certain limits for a time period. i do very well at 1-2 and lower but i go to the 3/6 and 5/10 hu nlh tables and i get killed. no matter how many times i do it i dont learn lol would be much easier if i just couldnt play them. my bankroll would llike it to! thanks

Maybe if you offer them a fee for managing your bankroll ... by the hour, day, or week even. Then when you're ready to move back up, you could pay them for counselling also.

cake offers something similiar to what i suggested. no need for that comment

Please Please Please stop having the lobby pop up all the ****ing time.

would love bbj tables plz

Please no bbj tables, they are a terrible idea. I wouldn't want to play them, and currently I put in a lot of volume on lock.

This is how I feel as well. I compare those tables to the lottery...people that play just don't understand the odds. I'm not sure what odds are to win the BBJ, but I think Powerball is like 1:175,000,000.

Bad beat Jackpot tables are horrible. Why would you ever want them? All it is is paying extra rake. I've played online poker for 5 years and have played at a number of sites with bad beat jackpot tables and never once won anything from the jackpot. It's the same thing as having the site buy lottery tickets with your money, but you have a better chance of winning just buying lottery tix.

BBJ tables are not intended to attract pros - they are intended to attract degen gamblers - BBJ tables are usually populated with more fish, so while there is a slightly higher rake, the competition is also much softer and therefore more profitable.

Most people and recreational players see poker as a game of chance so it's already a lottery to them, no need to add an extra lotto, its just burning money. Merge does it and takes hundreds of thousands out of it when it hits for "administrative costs". If you don't like money then that's fine but I do and don't want to pay extra rake. Players who play because they like to play won't care if there is a bbj or purple tables or a dinosaur dealing the cards. They like they game and hope to win, that's enough to get them to the table. You say they attract more fish so are softer, well if that's true then all the good players know that so they will play them, then they are full of good players....super soft.
