**PokerStars Software Improvement Thread***

Showing hole cards face up when all-in on ring tables would be a great feature. Personally I know 2 total fish from my local casino that play on Full Tilt just for that reason, strange but true. It may be only a few seconds, an im usually busy on another table if im allin but the fish like the gamble and fun of it.

NO BET POT BUTTON !!!!!!! I can't stress this enough, let the donks min-bet and overbet away imo.

I don't like the accidental clicking on fold thing. But I think it's a good thing that it doesn't do it for you automatically.

If you really wanted to bet then you shouldn't have been 'accidentally' clicking fold in the first place. So I'm not that bothered by this aspect. but I would definitely benefit a couple times a day if I was given an option to bet after an accidental fold button hit.

Most sites have a "Free Check - Warning" that each player can turn on/off in the Options.

Keep the feedback coming guys. We keep a 'wish list' of ideas from all sources so I'll make sure the suggestions in this thread are added. Don't forget to email ideas@pokerstars.com too.

A bit of feedback to the obvious questions:

The main advantage at playing at Tilt is players get to sit right in middle of the table. When you are multi tabling this makes a huge difference because you know exactly where you are and everything is balanced on the screen.

Go to 'Options' > 'Preferred Seat'. There you can set your preferred seat for each kind of table. You can also right click an icon at any table and click 'Sit Here'.

If you mean that you want to sit in the absolute centre of each table... that's much more difficult.

I think one of the bigger errors in the PS software is in the limit games.

Example: 5/10 limit. Blinds 2/5. Player A has $9.50 and open raises all-in UTG. The next players options are fold, call or raise to $10.

Could you please provide a HH or hand number where this happens so I can look at it more closely?

Speaking of which, stop the tables from stealing the curser when it pops up

Go to 'Options' > 'Advanced Multi-Table Options' and turn off 'Pop Up Table Whenever User Action is Required', and the tables will no longer steal focus from other applications. Be careful though.

Dont have the site auto update itself to remove none standard image mods every single time you use the update program

If you use a theme that has been properly developed to be compliant with our Themes system, this won't happen. There is a guide here:

When playing tourneys there is absolutely no reason why the lobby needs to pop up when the game starts.

You can turn this off under 'Advanced Multi-Table Options' too, for SNGs at least.

Don't auto minimize the main lobby when I open a table

Sorry, this is absolutely necessary and is extremely unlikely to change.

get rid of short stackers. its sooo ethically wrong

No it isn't.

I would also like that if people who have their chat banned, when you highlight there name it says so

For privacy reasons I doubt this will ever happen.

PLEASE give us the option to turn the News Pop-up off.

I brought this up recently and was told this would not be changing (although we might make it no longer pop up when trivial changes to the message are made).

Keep the suggestions coming.

It shouldn't be hard to show the table at which action is required without stealing the cursor.
So many times I am trying to rebuy at one table and the cursor gets stolen to the next table. I can't play with the 'pop-up table action' thing.
I've gine up on being able to take any notes at all when I'm multi-tabling. It always ends up in the chat-box of some other table.

Can you add an option to stand up at a table and sit down at a different seat like FT? Like if a seat to the left of a fish becomes available you can move yourself there.

That must be embarrassing if you type notes like 'complete and utter donk', like I do.

Thanks for clarifying - added to the list.

I use the Keyboard Redirect AHK script, and have very little problems with ALL of the Advanced Multi-Table Options turned ON

Correct THEMES dont get overwritten each update - the Custom Card Mods that go into the "Simplified" deck are over-written every update.

It is soo much of a pain that I purposely bypass your silly "Update Every Freakin Launch . EXE" to avoid it.

I sent stars an email about this a while ago, asking to have a visual indicator of how much time we have before our time bank gets activated just like ftp has. It sucks when my time bank slowly gets eatin away by this and when I need some time to think I end up with only 7 secs or so.

Glad your listening Alex and I hope this situation changes.
It should be noted that this isn't exactly a new complaint. This has been mentioned dozens of times by people on here over ther years.

We are supposed to be playing a skilled game so this instafold does not make sense?

BTW, has anyone from Stars responded in anyway to the thread or we are all just having a party of our own here.

pokerstarsjeff has posted many times throughout this thread

Ok, there are things that suck more, but this does suck pretty hard.

Can you make it an option how much you buy-in for? Tilt has that and it's nice to not have to change my buy-in every time. I know it won't help people buying in for really small amounts, but it is nice.

With showing hole cards when all-in in cash games, what if you have the option, and if both people have checked the option to show, then the cards are shown?

[demon102]

I just got done a session of 12 tabling FR and I was thinking how about making all the tables the same. No more fast and normal tables, just make one type where the cards are dealt real fast and keep all the time to act and time banks the same. Also either maker the checkmark box either a sit out next bb or autopost box, when Im playing 12 tables I have to sit there and figure out what kind of table Im out just to make sure I dont post the next bb when Im done or make a button for that makes all tables sit out on the next bb. I hate missing a table and having to wait 10-15 minutes for the bb to come around again.
