Let me uncheck the "I am ready" button while in a break. Today we were in final 3, I clicked ready. My opponents did not, so I wanted to uncheck and go make some lunch. But if they checked it while I was gone, the game would have started. Let me uncheck it and take advantage of the break so I don't have to worry about it!

There must be a change made to prevent chip stacks from covering up the numerical amount the player has in front of them. This is significantly worse than the timebank issue. I only bring that up because I, again, want to thank you Chris for taking care of that, and to stress the importance of this problem.

I think changing the display settings to not show multi-stack chips fixes this issue. Haven't had the problem myself, so I haven't tried.

Oh man I thought this was a BCP thread for some reason, ha. My post makes little sense now (I was a martyr for improving the cash time bank problem). I'll try ^ that though.

I don't play anything but 6m, so I can't speak for the other variants. What happens is when there's a full graphical amount (let's just say a fat stack of white chips, not indicative of a particular large bet, just a lot in terms of the denomination) bet by one of the two seats at the top of the screen, the chips cover their stack size entirely. Re-sizing the window does nothing to help this...but I did think of a possible, yet unproven solution, which is to move your seat around mid-hand to get your opponent on a different part of the screen.

That said, I've heard mutterings of this specific complain already. It is an obscenely bad problem.

Any idea if the other players have any idea you're being dealt a new hand?

If true, this is completely absurd and one of the biggest software bugs in online poker ever probably. To get a new hand, i'm sure something has to both go wrong client side AND on their server's side, because if it's just your client, well, things wouldn't match up anymore for their server at the end of the hand.

Really odd..

I'd like to be able to join a waiting list for a table type that doesn't have a full table. For example, right now if there's a full $1/$2 NL table, I can join the waiting list of every $1/$2 table tell it to notify me if there's a table available with at least 3 people. But if there aren't any full tables (often the case with draw games), I'd still like to be able to join the waiting lists and have it notify me when there's a table with >= 3 people. I'd definitely play a lot more lowball, for example, if I knew when a game was going on.

Small update:

All network wide MTT tournaments now have a IP restriction of 2 players per IP address for obvious anti-collusion reasons.

Hello, I have two suggestions.

1. The Mac client is missing something - a flashing (or bouncing, in the Mac's case) indicator in a minimized table in the dock that it's your turn or a player is waiting for you if you were sitting alone. This is particularly useful for people waiting alone at many tables. The "bring active game to front" works, in that it maximizes the minimized window, but the feature is annoying when you're writing a note about someone and the window of the note becomes automatically overlapped by that very table awaiting your action. That is why in the Windows client I would usually keep the "bring active game to front" feature turned off, knowing that if I was waiting at an empty table, the minimized window would flash in the system tray. On the Mac client, an action waiting for you should cause the minimized table to bounce.

2. On a somewhat related note, there is a player on Carbon who is not particularly fond of me, and lately he has been sitting with me at the HU tables knowing that I prefer not to play against him HU. However his behavior lately has gotten quite immature, and now he makes it a point to sit with me at all the tables I'm waiting at, only to sit out and keep the seat full so nobody else can play against me. If I sit in to play a hand, he'll sit out. If I exit the table and open a new one, he follows me to the new table and repeats. This is a clear form of abuse of the current system and it would be great if there were a way to block certain players from joining your heads up table. Many of the regulars have an unwritten agreement not to sit with each other, and players who ignore and obnoxiously irritate others who are simply looking for a good game should not be tolerated.

Ill pass along the client issue for you.

In regards to the complaint regarding the guy abusing the heads up tables, send an email to support and they will be able to review his play and deal with him appropriately.

Thanks, I've already done that.

dark_horse · 08-11-2012, 07:43 PM

Also in the Mac client, it's very difficult to read how much you've cleared of your active bonuses. The font is extremely small. I'd look at it on the web but they don't allow that anymore.

madcatz1999 · 08-11-2012, 07:51 PM

Kind of along the same lines, it'd be nice if it was easier to report trouble players. Even if it's not real-time moderation like some other networks have, it'd be nice to be able to do it from a table, and have it get passed along to support, rather than having to take screenshots and send emails.

I honestly do think it affects the atmosphere of the tables and the chat. People know that they can throw around insults and obscenities and racial slurs constantly and that the vast majority of the time, they won't get reported, so it happens more often.

dark_horse · 08-11-2012, 07:58 PM

Good suggestion. But if it were so easy to report users from within the client, I bet support would get inundated by baseless reports, such as claims of cheating or simple ill will towards someone who is running well. But you do make a good point that it could deter childish conduct at the table, which is bad for the game. Maybe there's a happy medium somewhere.

dark_horse · 08-11-2012, 11:06 PM

Another small Mac client suggestion: include a Close Window menu item with the standard cmd-w keyboard shortcut so that I can exit windows quickly. If you're afraid people will exit the window by mistake, include a preference to toggle an exit table warning.

Having the menus at the top only when the lobby is in the foreground is odd Mac behavior.
