**PokerStars Software Improvement Thread***

I really like the idea of color-coding tables in the lobby based on whether you are seat, waitlisted, or not waitlisted. That would help a bunch.

+1. I've said this earlier but it is good to repeat it.

And in particular "normal speed" table semantics are super annoying! I open the table and sit. Now I have to wait for some super slow idiots to finish the hand before I can tell the PS client whether I want to buy in immediately or wait for the BB? Super annoying. Give us fast table semantics

• PokerStars assumes we want to wait for the BB (wait for BB box is checked)
• PokerStars assumes we want to auto-post blinds unless we tell it otherwise

Tangent: are there any AHKs that fix this problem?

I'm perfectly happy to let the short stackers play 2 street poker against one another, I just don't want them killing the action on regular tables.

The chances of them making all tables 50BB min is probably quite slim, but I'm going to go ahead and +1 that idea anyway. The money they would lose from the shortstackers leaving would be offset (if not surpassed) by the money gained from fullstackers who would switch over to PokerStars because they are shortstacker-free. The massive influx of shortstackers FullTilt and the like would experience from them fleeing from PokerStars would cause fullstackers to switch over as well.

Can someone explain to me why they think that the shortstackers would jump ship? I don't think that a site where you could still buy in to a NL game for $1 if they made all of the tables 50BB minimum is somehow going to price the fish out. The only real risk I see with it is that deeper stacks let the good players clean out the fish faster due to the fact that hands will spend more time postflop.

The thing I'd like most is for the action to be echoed in the chat box. They do that on Ongame and it rocks because I don't have to remember who raised preflop, I can just check back.

[PartysOver]

it's there, drzen... click the chips and make it so the chat show everything

[mikekelley]

Is there a way to just double click on a sitngo and automatically be registered for it? That would be nice, i'm so sick of having to click through three or four friggin screens to get into a sitngo.

right now its:

click the sng
tick the box that says x dollars will be deducted
tick the box that asks if you want to join another if this one fills
click the "ok" button when the registered! prompt comes up
and then close the tourney lobby

a bit ridiculous imo..maybe a way to turn on and off easy SNG registration, so you just double click a sng and a prompt comes up that says something like

"register? are you sure?"

[] yes [] no and that would be the end of it, and have it by default register for the next open one if that one fills. no tourney lobby or 8 things to click throgh.

it is defaulted to off, but is changeable, like sounds and whatnot. i think this would be great. it might already be there and i've played for 2 years and never seen it, but hey.

I THINK he was more so referring to people who actually have an understanding of what they're doing with 20bbs. Not people who buy-in for the minimum just b/c they can and don't know any better.

He's saying the rake lost by pro shortstackers could be made up by 100bb regulars leaving FT/others for Stars

they need to make it so u can close tables without a box coming up all the time saying to click ok on it, thats a pain in the ass when playing several tables.

I meant your computer was too old to be able to run a hud.


Here is the link to Wickss "stars hotkeys:" http://www.wickss.com/ahk/starshotke...otkeys_exe.zip

On the third tab -- "options" -- there is a checkbox next to "autoclose message boxes"
