Same for "sit out next bb" and perhaps even "sit out next hand on all tables".
Thanks

Both are planned as future enhancements to Hotkeys.

Thanks, have passed it on as a suggestion to the VIP team.

A bit later in the year hopefully.

Thanks. If you resize the window it will fix itself, but we should auto size the window to fit the contents. Have passed on to the developers.

Agreed; it does for some themes already. We are reviewing the changes and will roll it out to all players and include bet amounts on the themes that need this.

The reason it is MM DD YYYY is because it is tied to the language of your client (we don't know your account country before log in) and English is set to DD MM YYYY. If you had .FR in French you would see it as DD MM YYYY.

We are considering how to change the system, but it is lower priority right now.

We could in theory. Why do you need to use decimals? It has not been requested much so far.

Was not aware that this happens *every* update. Have passed on to the developers.

This is a nice idea; maybe further down the road we could add it.

What time NYC time does Stars' Sunday Million start? I'm curious if it has changed since US players are no longer allowed on the site.

Thx in advance.

Didn't see anyone responds to this, but the Sunday Million is at 14:30 ET.

The button itself is totally redundant for me anyway (and I assume a lot of other players) as I use the Preferred Seat option to ensure I sit in the same place on every table.

If you do add this option, please leave the spacer between the button and the rest of the buttons as well.
Thanks

Re: Not showing Sit Here -- what about adding a delimiter between the two?

I would like to change computers and still have my notes.

And an unrelated question. When you leave a cashgame table, how long do you have to wait until you can rejoin and buy in with minimum stack again?

Re: Notes: Mobile is a relatively new offering, so this functionality has not been built in yet and we are looking into a solution so that players can transfer their notes.

Re: Coming back to table: 2 hours.

Is there any way to cascade and keep the tables the smaller size?

Thanks

Currently Cascade resizes tables to default and the cascades them.

Also, if you're going to offer GBP cash games then there needs to be a GBP option on the ring games filter, instead of just shoehorning them under both USD and EUR options.

TT

Re: Chips: Maybe once we have higher volume on these games.
Re: Filter: We are adding this (either next or the update after).

Yeah, I know how this sounds and hate bringing it up. It doesn't help.

The problems will never be solved, because everytime somebody else answers the e-mail that has gotten pages long by now. Of course the new guy is not gonna read all that.
Also there is no ticket number or how you want to call it.
Even worse they change the topic title all the time for whatever reason so it gets one big mess.

If you let the same guy handle the same problem all the time there would be a big learning curve and you would waste a lot less of your -and my- valuable time.
Also you would get feedback on individual employees who would be forced to do a better job.

We are not getting complaints from other players about this, so could be something local.

I am sorry to hear that your Support experience has not been great -- I hope you will appreciate that it is not technically feasible to have the same Support representative handle all emails on a specific case since people are on and off their shifts. Please PM me your User ID and I will look into the issue that you are describing.

Have players here tried the Group Similar Tables feature for the Ring Games lobby? You can enable it from "Options" > "Lobby Display Options" and then select "Group Similar Tables (Beta) - Real Money". You can always disable it from the same place and go back to the previous view.

We are working to improve the design of the feature and possibly its functionality and would very much want to hear your feedback and opinions.

To give some background, Grouping Tables is an optional view to the main Ring Game lobby that is mostly targeted at players who just want to play now and are not interested in picking a specific table. The main trade off is that players lose the ability to pick a specific table in the default view of Grouped Tables since you only see the groups of tables.

The feature also has an expanded mode where you can see the list of tables and players on the right hand side if you click the toggle just above the information message with Liv Boeree to the right.

What are your thoughts in general on such a feature? Do you think it should be on by default when new players look at the Ring Games lobby? If you do try it out, please do share any specific feedback/comments that you have!

Thanks!

I would use "group similar tables" if you could double click the table type to expand, showing the tables below listed in the same fashion they are normally instead of just the little window on the right. Having this feature would solve the problem of it being impossible to selectively browse more than one game type at once in the lobby.

Also bumping a slightly old topic, the activate next/previous table hotkeys initially worked great but then you removed the logic that actually activated the table that required action next. I know players complained but I can't fathom why, I don't see how aimlessly alt tabbing between windows is useful, if I have a decision 3 windows away I want to push one button to access that table, not click a hotkey several times until it cycles to the right table (assuming it still does this, I've gone back to using Tableninja for this feature now).

Nitronius · 07-02-2012, 03:58 PM

I'm sure it was talked about more than a few times but I can't find it. Why happy hours never caught on ? Except for that blast off promotion.

Pooter · 07-03-2012, 12:51 AM

Yeah bout time that Nadal pop up thing was done away with. I am already playing there, don't care that he is so please stop telling me something i already know and really couldn't care about in any way shape or form.

Just some new decks.

Yngwie Malmsteen · 07-03-2012, 03:14 PM

Also new card backs, just nice solid colours with a bit of shading like this -

or this

The current card backs all have some busy, annoying pattern/design

Re: movable name/chip boxes: This can really cause more issues than it will solve, since it is not just name/chip boxes, but also hole cards, bets etc. We would really rather focus on providing theme options that satisfy most players and I am glad to hear that you have found themes that meet your needs.

how about rather than trying to satisfy most players you try to satisfy those who pay the most rake?

so......... degen mass tabling grinder theme? (and get direct feedback from the appropriate player base before deploying)

strikes me as obvious... you put up a "design a sick mass tabling pokerstars theme" thread and assign one nerd on your end to create whatever gets brainstormed and itll be available on the client in a week

Really important question! Why do you suddenly rake playmoney cash games?

MilkMan · 07-04-2012, 04:37 AM

Does Pokerstars have an official position on insuredplay.com? Are you working with them, tolerating them or planning on ending them?

Loggie86 · 07-04-2012, 04:49 AM

Not entirely sure if this has been mentioned yet however in limit ring games when i am in the big-blind the check option for raise is "bet xx(big blind amount)" and when it get to me it then prompt me for action as bet isnt a real option. This needs to be raise rather than bet.

Also, having a sit out "next blind" not "next big blind" would be nice as it is annoying when wanting to end sessions and not wanting to put blind money in only to have the previous big blind leave and get moved into small blind and have to pay. This is especially on Zoom games as you can often get the small blind before big blind.
