One vote against micro HU. I'm not a HU reg or anything but the 50nl HU tables are so soft just because anyone who wants to play HU has to play at least that high. There was a similar effect in the HORSE tables. I think .50/1 used to be the lowest level? At that point it was so soft but now all the total donks are playing the micro HORSE games. Not a huge deal but for most good players micro HU tables are bad.

In that little box to the right of the dealer tray, where your custom layouts and stuff are stored and it gives you the option to cascade or tile, the option should also exist to "STACK" all tables. It is hard to do manually (well, perfectly anyway). Also, since so many people multitable, 'sit out/sit in all tables' buttons are SORELY sorely needed, b. Can't stress this enough. It is sooooo aggravating trying to sit out on tables while the still-active ones relentlessly pop up and steal focus. Also, get a couple deepstack tables per level....?

Make a custom layout with 24 stacked tables. Easy. That way you get to choose size and position as well.

Please flip cards over when all in in cash games. Only the players involved in the all in can see the exposed cards.

ya I should have been a little more thorough in what I was getting at, although I do appreciate the suggestion. The main point I was making is that it messes up my flow a bit if when stacking, the tables are not *perfectly* on top of each other, which I'm not even sure I could achieve with unlimited time to create a custom layout. Having that option in the box, the computer would do it automatically. Also with a custom layout, the position of the tables would be fixed, and I think it would be cool to be able to situate your 'stack' wherever you might want it on your screen, for whatever reason. The sit in/sit out all tables button are a DRASTICALLY more pressing issue though.... anyway, tx again

Is there an way to make yourself unable to resize the tables while you're playing?

Please add some sort of option that allows you to auto add-on in any rebuy tournaments if you make it to the break...When multitabling, the the rebuy tourneys fall to the back during the break and i miss the add-on...

not sure if someone posted this previously, just dont have time to go through 170 pages to find out...

I would prefer to keep making people fold on time outs -- the games are slow enough as it is.

Also, please remove all time banks on cash tables.

Please add an option for bright yellow (or any LOUD color) card backs for the simple deck. When multitabling I often mistake how many people are at the table because the gray card backs blend into the hyper simple table.

Also, an option for bigger card backs. Again, I want the number of active players in the hand to jump out at me. Colors are more important than card size though, if you have to prioritize.

doesn't that stuff get clobbered every time the PS client is upgraded (which seems like every other week)? I guess if it is a simple as re-copying cardbacks to the appropriate folder I could do it ...

this, like I said before having to do it myself is horrible and can never get it perfect just like this guy says a few post down from what I quoted

ya I just went into mspaint and made the cards a neon green color so there is no way to mistake how many people are playing, then you make a copy so that when the next upgrade comes you can make a copy of that and rename it, kinda a pain but has to be done

forgive the no sentences, just got back from xmax party and got down with some captain

I got some over at www.tiltbuster.com

They have some free ones and inexpensive ($5) which was both the backs and fronts and it includes an auto-install-when-PS-updates file. I just double-click it and it then logs me back into the regular .exe file and I'm off and running till the next update.

I am not affiliated, just like their products.

An option to lock table sizes would be awesome. This can be super-annoying when you accidentally resize a table.

fozzy- I can't make it work on Stars. Tilt, yes, but Stars no . Shame too, cause it does exactly what I would want it to, thx for turning me on to the program. Have you used it on Stars and maybe somehow I'm just doing smthg wrong?... Also re the last few posts, I'd love it if Stars introduced as a general M.O. the ability to do things ON ALL OPEN TABLES AT ONCE, rather than having to go through them all individually, whether it is sitting out, resizing, restoring to default size, etc. It just really kills your flow to do all that stuff on 24 tables individually while the rest of them are popping up every few seconds. And yeah, make a way to lock the size

Yeah, I need this really bad. If anyone knows of a program that can do this, that'd be great.

you can use pitaschio. it has an option to disable maximize. can also enable docking and turn up the range high enough to prevent accidental resizes.

can also use placemint to set up a layout and tables will just pop back into place if they get moved/resized.

neither program likes it much when you enlarge a stars table, but they both are handy if you mostly keep the same sizes.

If you are multi-tabling SNG's with stacked tables and you time out, the table doesn't pop up any more, and you get blinded out. This happened to me, and now I constantly toggle through my tables to make sure I am not timed out on any of them. It wastes a lot of time, and keeps me from playing as many tables as I could. Please make the table pop up every hand, whether you are sitting out or not.
