Double-click their avatar. It brings the notes up, and is faster than waiting for a mouse hover to go into effect.

   Don't agree with this.

   Agree with this.

Nits don't affect my winrate. I win at a decent clip off of them. I don't care how many FPPs or bonuses they get or what VIP ranking they have. Their FPPs don't affect me. Their play style does not affect me negatively either.

SSers affect me. I win off of them too, but they are forcing me to play SS strat and are generally a waste of space for fish who could be there with 100BB.

In general, if you're sitting there with 50BB+ you're ok in my book whether you're a 6/5 or a 90/12

Please show "(Sitting Out)" when appropriate in the titlebar. Then you can quickly see what tables you are sitting out on from the taskbar. They are really difficult to find otherwise if you cascade tables.

Please don't open new tables in the upper left corner when cascading tables because they always open directly on top of another table.

Give an option not to prompt when leaving a table. It is really difficult/frustrating to click OK a bunch of times when ending 24 tabling sessions.

Give me a preference to always wait for the BB when joining a table. Annoying to have to click this each time when I always pick "Wait."

Sit out next BIG blind checkboxes, please. I know it's been asked and I know you've said it's not likely, but really it would make things much better for mass multitablers (who rake a lot of $$$ for you). A lot of people want this.

These things all sound small, but they make a big difference when you play 24 tables.

I don't see this being a problem since, as he mentioned, they have NL stakes all the way down to a $0.02 big blind. The worse that would happen is that the guy who short stacks 100NL for $20 will now have to drop down to 50NL to play with a $25 stack.

The actual problem that I have with eliminating short-stackers is this: forcing them to buy in with deeper stacks will get them cleaned out faster, and in ways that they have a harder time attributing to bad beats and suckouts. In other words deeper stacks give winning players a better chance to outplay them on later streets for larger amounts of money while at the same time making it more apparent to the fish that they are getting outplayed. Keep in mind that the shorter amount of time it takes these guys to go broke, the more likely they are to become discouraged and decide to spend their money on something else.

1) I'd would be nice to have an option to enable a NOTIFICATION IF A SPECIAL PRO COMES ONLINE.

2) A BUDDY LIST like the pro list, where you can enter your friends to find them even quicker. If such a list exists a NOTIFICATION like in the first point would be very nice. Of course the BUDDYS HAVE TO AGREE to be added, so that you can't missuse this function as "fish catcher".

3) Split the main cashier into a variable number of SUB CASHIER. Today many users play there own challenges and use a special amount of their main bankroll. It would be nice to be able to say - use this amount from my main account for my "My-Named-Subcashier" so that a BANKROLLMANAGMENT IS EASIER for a such a challenge.

4) 0.05/0.10 PL OMAHA H/L Tables, please!!!

The fact ppl get paid for sitting at a table folding is pretty disgusting.

They also seem to feel entitled to demand things from stars because of all the rake they "generate", and that's pretty funny.

UB has a feature where you can see hole cards and be able to ship pots to yourself even when you don't win the pot. Any idea when this is being rolled out for PS?

It's very good idea but their system is bad. I think stars should implement cheat codes like:
* unlimited bankroll
* see the hole cards
* final tables
* ship the pot
* rigged river

etc.

"Remove from all waitings lists" option would be great !

[SneakyFerret]

The lag has been unbearable when there are close to 200K people playing... I play 24 tables and when it takes forever to sit at a table, it really makes me want to play less and PAY LESS RAKE TO YOU!!!

This seriously has to get fixed...

[Michael Davis]

Stars,

Although I love the feature, I really think you should consider disabling autorebuy and outlawing any autorebuy scripts until you get this server situation fixed. It cannot be good for business that everytime there are lots of people playing it really sucks to play at your poker room. It hurts you and it hurts me, let's fix this together until you get it together and fix it yourself.

Not sure it can solve the issue. But what happens if you only dislabe auto-rebuy for Play Money Players? Can it speed up the site?

[Michael Davis]

They should be shutting down play tables entirely on Sunday. I understand that this is bad for business, but in times of crisis they should be prioritizing the players who are fighting for actual ducats.

Get some actual variety for the backs of cards, especially on the darker colored tables. I mean in the simple them you have a a really dard table and then you have 6 different shades of dark gray for the backs of the cards. This is HORRIBLE, Id like to see lots of bright colors and can we get the cards bigger, I mean they are freaking tiny and so easy to miss while multi tabling. At the very least get some bright colors for the backs of the cards.
