ffs just had the client go unresponsive on me twice within 10 minutes in the middle of hands.

[FlatTop]

the guaranteed tourney signs are so tilting ( can it be shut off) and the lobby needs some color or design

[DynamicPro]

Just want to say the 5$ missing was returned thanks BCP!

Quick link to recent hands working today (upper left corner on table).

BLackchip Rep,
My nickanme is donnkeydomination. I am a huge fan of the sng leaderboard. I have placed in it many times on carbon. I made the switch to carbon a few months ago. I just need to know if there is any way i can track my stats and progress. The "my stats" never updates with anything. It always says zero. On carbon, there used to be a easy to follow ledger that shows every sng i played and what place i finished. Mostly i play large amount of $1 and $ sngs. I am not even sure what points they are worth, it doesnt say anywhere. Will the "my stats" part ever show my stats. Is there any other way for me to track how many sngs i am playing and how many points i am earning. Any info you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

What is going on with the tournaments? My lobby froze up. I force-quit it and restarted and the tournament lobby wouldn't load any tournaments. I quit it and restarted again, and now the tournament lobby lists tournaments, but I get an "unable to open tournament details" error message when I try to open one.

I've logged this with the techs and I will let you know when I hear back. I would suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the poker client, as that should fix it, and I'll let you know when I hear back on this.

I'll get back to you on this, if anyone else reading the thread can help, please post in the meantime.

Thanks. It seems to have been only temporary, but if it gets worse I'll try this.

Tournaments don't stay balanced in the late games. I'm currently at a 6-max with 14 players left and the tables have 6, 4, and 4 players, and have been that way for some time.

Glad to see the improvements but I didn't see anything in that list about the info tab on the chat box for sng's/tournaments. Is this part of the update or do you know when it will be fixed? Imo it is the most important thing missing from the software. Thanks for the update.

My lobby displays the right time zone (CDT) but the time is wrong.
