Because this is what I see when I click on that link:

Apologies for the error made on the .ee website localization. If this ends up being the difference for you as a .ee player between clearing your bonus or not, send me a PM here and I'll make sure you get your money.

Hey- If I had 200k+ vpps in 2011 before black friday and I relocate now will they be re-credited for this year? Can I also retain my SNE status? Is there a time frame in which I have to do this in?

thanks a lot for any help

Steve please please please don't decrease the maximum number of tables you can play. Even though I time out sometimes I find 24 tables very easy to play.

This. If you want speed up games, make the timer faster.

Suggestion regarding multi tablers playing speed:

Time bank : as is.

Normal time to act : When playing up to 4tbls: 15sec when playing 5 or 6:14sec for 7-8tbls:13sec 9and 10 : 12sec. etc. etc. etc.


The multi tablers would have to rediscover their optimum no. of tables because of this restriction and the increased speed of their opp. but the hands per hour number wont need to suffer by this.
Recreationals do have time to act but wont need to wait as long.

and no need to study(by Stars) individual players regarding their speed since this equal for everyone. So no angry emails to Stars etc.

also this will make the fish to reg ratio better.

just remove the goddamn timer. Before ongame added a small timebank, you could get 1k-1.1k hand per hour 12 tabling. Now it dropped down to 800~

I like this idea

Hey Steve,

Would you mind posting the SNE total for each year, 2007-11? Thanks.

According to Pokerstars Ring Game Rules, you get 18 seconds to act at a NL/PL fast table [is this correct? It sounds like a long time...]

If so, this means that every time you use up 4 seconds of your time bank, you have kept the table waiting for 22 seconds before you fold your 83o. If you time out having been at the table for 70-odd hands, you have probably kept the table waiting for an average of 22 seconds on ten of those, to say nothing of all the hands where you have taken 12-18 seconds to act and not touched your timebank.

Reducing the normal time to act is a much better idea than removing timebanks. Everyone will occasionally take longer for some reason, that isn't the problem, it's those who habitually take a while to act.

It would be helpful for multi-tablers if there was an easy way to see which tables they have less than, say, three seconds timebank left. Of course, there are downsides to this, but it would seem reasonable if combined with reduced time to act or reduced table limits.

Wasn't it 318 once the HU SNG saga was resolved?

[antchev]

Could be, not sure.

Why is that everybody wants to reduce the timebank?

I dont play that many tables but I like to have time to think about my decisions here and there. The fast tables are already too fast in my opinion, and I hate them. I try to play regular speed tables as much as I can but they are also faster than before since some software update last year.

I dont get all the talking going on in this thread.

The problem is that if the "slow" 24-tablers all played 18 tables instead -

They would get almost as many hands in
The "fast" 24-tablers would get more hands in
The game would be faster and more interesting for the fish
