planned, plans, discussions, thinking about it, considering, interesting ideas, sure it's still happening?, in the works, as soon as possible, next on the list, couple of updates down the road, no plans, timeline soon, not for a while, no chance, possibly a chance, should have been fixed, internal discussions...

What's the point of this thread?

- Are you sure this is still happening? As far as I know, this was fixed an update or two ago.
My apologies, that does appear to be fixed. Thanks!

This speaks volumes about your programming team... seriously, talk to management and get them to hire some competent tech staff because if they think that making a mouse wheel scroll increase your bet size by a small blind is a major project there is something wrong

I know you're just a messenger and I appreciate your updates so keep it up, but please get the rest of your team to actually do something because your player base only has so much patience

Doug, if FTP are going to make a change they should do this before the start of next year. As I can see a lot of FR players moving to a new site as the short stack player pool continues to increase.

It is illegal in every live cardroom and looked down upon almost as much as cheating. If you don't tolerate other things that make online poker worse for your average player than you certainly shouldn't tolerate this.

Understand that a lot of us regs really hate the shortstackers, but our problem is not that they are allowed to play, but that they are allowed to rathole after such a short amount of time. If you leave a table with a certain amount of cash you shouldn't be able to join that table with less cash for at least 12 hours and I think 24 would be more reasonable.

At some times I go straight forward in the lobby to the deep tables (even if there are only 5-6 tables) b/c normal tables are overloaded with 4+ short stackers.

the growth of shortstackers is a huge problem imo, and if this situation does not improve ( translation: if FT doesnt do something about it) I will have to switch sites as a lot of other players / rake generators & interest free loan grantors for FT will do in the coming months. I guess this will solve the problem in the long run too, as SS will have to switch sites as well at some point.

at the end of the day, the one thing that FT has going for itself is its brand. the software is meh, the ft store items the same and the statements about customer support speak for themselves. brand power isn't everything if the customer interested in poker that involves more than shoving 20bb preflop can't find a decent game.

Fulltilt poker learn, chat, and play with the shortstackers.

im sure this isnt what the pros had in mind when they started this company.
implement this

Quote:
You say you are having discussions about the short stacking problem. How long do you intend to talk about it? Time for action on this issue.

Standerd 50-100 BB
Deep 100-200
Cap 30-Unlimited
No need at all for 20-100 BB tables, if people want to play short they can play the cap tables.

This. JL Borloo for mod (we don't care about your winrate, though). Doug, you realize these guys ruin poker right?

fix the cash games who cares about tournaments

just use a tiered rakeback system that caps out when you buy in full? (thank me later imo)

Just wanted to reconfirm: shorts are increasing in quantity over the past few months.

The 200+NL FR games are losing entertain value for me.

I was watching my friend play .10/.20 half limit/half nl holdem, and they both ended up losing like 10 bucks each to the rake. They need to cap the rake at like 10 cents or something, otherwise you will never win at hu lower then 50 nl.

It would be convenient if FT could create a clock that you could change to different time zones. I recently wrote to support suggesting this and I was told it was impossible to do. Then PS did just that.

Also I think more Low Level PLO and O8 MTT's has to be added to your schedule. Right now the $5 and $3 ones are usually in off hours. Early or Late.

Thanks Doug

Doug, when is full tilt poker going to cut all the sit n go tournaments fees in half? 19 out of 20 players lose to full tilt poker in the long run, not their opponents . When is full tilt poker going to reduce the fees? This is a legitimate question.

I love the 1/2 ante tables...just got around to tryin them out today as I usually play donkaments. It's fun but I hate having to click ante and big blind/small blind. Any chance you could combine that into one click(post $2.40 for big blind and ante)
