FWIW, StarsPlanner has been getting rid of all the OKs for at least > 1 year now.

I am sorta surprised many 2p2ers even see these OKs

EDIT: even totally amazed - microbob, did you make 3/4 the way to Elite last year while manually clicking OK on all those pop-ups??? I dread to think how many you had to attend to

@!!!A MUST FIX!!!!@

Ok i skimmed thread and didnt see this..... But this is a HUGE one!

If you are multi tabling, (mostly when doing sngs) this problem occurs.
If you are using Use One click on (advanced multi table options)

This may be hard to explain, but say:
1) i push all in on table A
2)on table B somone raises and i want to push over the top of them
Now i usually just click in the "ammount box" and hit like 9 5 times to make it MAXchips and an all In. then click Riase really click. it very fast and efficient.

HOWEVER

If i lose on table A, Click on the ammount spot and table B ->>go to hit button but then Table A forces popup (You got Xth spot) then i type "9999" to raise ammount to ALL in (because i dont wanna drag the bar) On table B, the raise donest change ammount, i quickly click Raise.

This only then raises Min witch we all know is terrible in SNGs.
But the raise to min go in instantly because i have one click options.

Anyhow my suggesting in summation is under Advanced-Table Options there needs to be a way to disable "You got Xth place Popup"...

OR even take it a step farther and add an "auto-close table when bust from tourny" option...


*****NOTE: THIS POPUP PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS WHEN A NEW TOURNY OPENS OR A TABLE CHANGE OCCURS MID TOURNY, AND AFFECTS OTHER TABLES FOCUS*****

Ok i hope you peeps understand this. now do you shizzzzz stars.

bump for publicity.

the problem with these threads is no one wants to start reading them when they are 300 post long, and ppl stop reading them too...

maybe we could do a monthly thread

boohaa12, use betpot script. it solves this issue.

with all the controversial issues being discussed, here's a clear bug for the developers:

If I am seated at a table but then am picked up for missing 3 rounds of big blinds... If I then leave the table open and sit again when a different seat opens up, The table does not rotate based upon my 'preferred seating' preferences.

Yeah, I've had that happen too.

It doesn't just have to be from missing 3 rounds though.
It can also happen if you fail to take your reserved-seat in the alloted amount of time and get kicked out that way.

I've had that happen when I was playing 24 tables already and didn't realize it for example. Obviously it wouldn't let me take the seat. But if I quickly get off another table and then click on 'seat open' it won't take me to my preferred seat and I have to right-click the correct spot manually.

not really a big deal. But also something that should be easily fixable.


Also: If you fail to take your reserved-seat and leave the table open it oftentimes will not give you the option to 'join waitlist' even after somebody else takes the seat and it's a full-table.
You are sitting there looking at a full-table but have to close the table and go find its name in the lobby in order to rejoin the waitlist again.

WOW, I am so proud. The first thread I started that has reached 3 pages. It's the internet's version of running at 10 ptBB/ 100 hands over 100k hands

THIS IS HUGE, so is sit out next big blind

when i'm all in i have no idea what cards i need, if i am crushed or way ahead

Not cancelling tourneys on sundays....

hopefully top of the list right now.

lol, the 11 rebuy should be big though

i just have 1 request.....

pls do somethin about the short stackers. they are really really ruining the game. i would love to see either the min buy in raised or rat-hole time go to like 2 hours +

both would obv be the nuts

It's been said a thousand times, but i haven't really minded shortstackers TOO much but lately there are like at LEAST one up to even three shortstackers per table at almost all 3/6 2/4 and even 1/2 talbes (maybe even .5/1 I have not checked). It's becoming more and more popular. Just look at the tables for christ sakes. Sure it's a strategy that is effective and technically not against the rules, but it is so obviously against the general concept of the game of poker. I thought it was bad when most tables were filled with 3+ regular full stack players but now that the other 2 seats have people who push allin or fold it's really ruining the fun that poker was. It really is the strategy that they are enabled to use that really destroys the game. David Sklansky even writes about this in Tournament Poker for Advanced Players. He says something along the lines of moving allin preflop with XX and YY is exploiting what's "wrong" with no limit holdem. If a person wants to buyin 20BBs and play with that stack, I'm all for it but it's really the push/fold exploiting that has to go to save the games.

Obviously most of the community here hates shortstackers, and I'm sure most of the recreational players hate raising to $18 then shoved in on for $100 more and left with two options. It's ridiculous how many games I've seen that were going 2-3 handed, even some betting on turns and rivers, and then the other seats fill up with shortsackers and the regular players leave, including myself many times. I would like to play in a nice 3 handed game if one of the players is fishy but when I can't even get into pots with him because I have 3 shortstackers shoving on all my opens it's just not even worth it.

I know these shortsackers multitable like ****ing gods and that generates a ton of rake for you guys, but I really thought Pokerstars would have the general interest of the players in mind. Maybe you should include some questions about quality of games and people who continously utilize an allin or fold preflop strategy in one of your surveys.


30BB pleeeease. It would affect almost no recreational player (what's the diff between 20 and 30?) and all the people who professionally shortstack depend on your site for income and I guarantee the won't quit playing poker just because they can't buyin for 20BBs. Shortstacking strategy came after people were buying in full, most of them can player a bigger stack if they had to and even if they completely forgot they should still be able to maneuver 30BBs.

God, this just makes so much sense I really don't understand why pokerstars doesn't agree.







Cliff Notes: just another rant about shortsackers

Can we get a 10bb mininum so I can stop worrying about playing the 20-100bbs players. I do well when I play around 10bbs, stars please cater to players like me as it will add a whole lot of business to ur site.

I wish I saw this thread before creating a new one...

Stars please enhance your rebuy software. 4 issues explained in detail:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...d.php?t=129007

- Ability to color-code the Note icon. When multitabling, it would be a lot faster to visually see a "type" of player than to have to read notes on them.

can I please get a response from a PS rep as to why you aren't INFORMING your PAYING CUSTOMERS ($3k/mo from me, idk about the rest of you) about what changes are made to the software with every update?

I can't think of one reputable company that DOESN'T include a list of changes to software updates.

It's really poor form and the only legitimate complaint I have with your company.

As consumers we have a right to know every little modification which is made to our product. It's not exactly freeware you know.

Please, for the love of all that's redeeming, I beg you, give us the option to turn off those ridiculous "are you sure you want to leave" prompts. That is a sleazy hard sell telemarketing tactic as far as I'm concerned. I know when I want to leave a table and I shouldn't have to ask twice, you guys are not my mommy and daddy and I'm not 5 years old! If I sound annoyed it's because having to click twice while using "advance multi-tabling options" really wreaks havoc on those of us who play 8-10 tables with a tracker on one monitor. We can't close them and open up new tables without a big hassel and if we were to just sitout, the table would still be open in our trackers--and in some cases would limit our capacity to use them on new tables. Additionally I believe that's a violation of your data mining policy in the case of those who use Poker Office--me for one.

Those of us who cascade--the only sensible option for 10-tabling on one monitor--have virtually no way of closing that table once the action prompts on a new table. We cannot go back and look for the damned thing when a table is popping up every other second, or faster.

Also, you need an option that automatically closes tables we sitout on--at the end of the hand--for the same reason. Sometimes we can't leave a table immediately if we want the FPPs.

Is there a hotkey script for any of this stuff maybe?

Another thing that would be useful is an option to come in on the BB at every table with one click.. or at least one click to auto-post on all of them. It's tough to get them all set-up without stressing out sometimes. Hell using the fast tables isn't even an option because with all the unnecessary stuff we have to do we'd timeout (and again that leaves us sitting out on a table we aren't going to be able to close).

Lastly, please figure out how to make the table menu more stationary, I'm really getting tired of clicking on the wrong tables all the time--again this causes those of us who mass multi-table with trackers big problems because we have to manually shut them and the tracker recognizing them really slows things down. Maybe you also need an option to have a button that closes all tables we are not playing on ... and come to think of it those we are sitting out on.

Candidly I have to say you guys don't make it very easy for us to pay you all the extra rake from playing 10 tables instead of one.

also all windows need to be resizeable, the tourney lobby for instance.

I multi-table and I'd really like an option to get on the waiting list for ALL games at once! It's a real pain in the ass to individually click each and every table to get on the waiting list of each table separately. And then if you're trying to do this quickly, you don't realize that you're already on a table that you've selected so it just pops up the table (that you're already on), minimizes the lobby, and you have to start all over. This gets really frustrating when you're trying to get settled into 6 or more tables. You'd think they'd want to make it as easy as possible to multi-table.

+1

I can do this in a few hours coding. For now I haven't - because there's generally no need for waitlists at the games I play, but mainly because it takes delete of one line to make an auto-tableopener for the dataminers to abuse.

and since I can't datamine (honest customer) and those who do go unpunished, I'd basically just be handing away an immense disadvantage.

There is reasons why I want stars to either yes / hardline no the datamining issue

Absolutely. This is one of the most frustrating things. Besides that it's annoying as hell to constantly get outclicked on tables with 8 players when you are trying to sit in manually. Be nice to click in all at once. I think that's something Stars should do for multi-tablers even though it might let us cut in line now and then. Take care of your meal ticket guys.

Thanks very much Dave, I will definitely try it out.
