Since the information is already available through "Find a Player", it would be nice if there were an option to show how many tables a player is sitting at... just on the waiting list would be nice, on the table in the part that shows the players name/location/br...

Using my name here on the waiting list would look like:

1meandog [4]
lakerfan [1]
yankeefan [24]

and so on... It would also be convenient to be able to click/right click on a player's name on a waiting list and see his complete "find a player" stats, or to be able to add him/her directly to the buddy list/find a player list.

Implement the mother fu***** "I'm Ready" button for HU SNG's, why is this a fu**** problem to do?

Also, figure out a way to run HU SNG tournaments on some sort of schedule after the 1st round so I don't have to wait 45 minutes wondering when my next match will start - for example, we all play round 1 at same time, let us know that Round 2 will not start before X time so I can at least do something else while I'm waiting. Or allow some sort of text message to be sent to me when all the matches from the round are complete (give us a 2 min warning before you re-start or something).

How about allowing in PL and NL games only the highest betting amount to equal the 2nd highest amount remaining in the hand.

1st example: 2 players in; player 1 has $73 left and player 2 has $195 left. Let's say player 1 is first to act on the turn and checks into a $92 pot with 2nd pair and the nut flush draw. Player 2 goes all in. The pot reads $287. It should really read $165 because that is the most player 1 can win by calling.

2nd example: 3 players ($58, $89, $192). Pot is $105 on the turn. Big stack goes all in for $192 making the pot $297 when really he can only bet $89 making the total $194.

It's sometimes awfully hard to subtract the difference to figure out whether you are getting the proper odds to carry on with the hand, with the time allotted and multitabling. Surely this would speed up play in both cash games and tourneys alike.

Fun suggestion.

Have a "KING OF THE MOUNTAIN" freeroll tourney for Supernova+ at the end of January where players starting chip stacks equal the number of VPP's earned the prior year.

You could even have sitn'go satellites to qualify for those who do not have 100k+ VPP's.

Also, it would be cool if hands you were sitting out still got recorded in your hand history for you to review later.
Can't see this happening, you're not playing the hand so it will fall foul of their rules and regs on datamining.

Keeping a calculator by your computer would be a much better solution than having PokerStars add weird rules adjustments to the games.

I'm confused. Are there going to be seperate tables for euros and dollars? If they do this, will this mean that your account has to be in the appropriate currency to play at those games?

Yes and yes the way I understand it.

You will have the ability to transfer money within your account from one currency to another. In other words, you will have a few 'sub' accounts in different currencies.

Agreed. Also, it would be better if those popups always came up on top of the lobby. I hate how they get attached to whatever window you currently have selected.

just moved to stars, one suggestion is a "wait for big blind" button in addition to auto post blinds. it's annoying to have to wait for your turn to post, click wait for bb, then click post bb when it comes to your turn and select autopost for future play.

This may be useful for people to use when a new window pops up - Press Alt+Escape and the table/window that you previously had at the front returns.
Seems like maybe this is the solution, could it be implemented in the software? So that when a new table pops up, it automatically goes to the back? Simple workaround imo, but have no clue if it would be simple/possible to add in the game client code.

I will have to play with this and see if maybe it would be something worth adding to starshotkeys

Not at all, unless Stars has suddenly totally lost it's marbles, which I doubt. The most convenient way multicurrency has been implemented on many Euro sites is that your account is in your base currency, and when you sit on a table the conversion is done automatically to the table currency, and when you leave you'll get a conversion with the same rate back to you base currency.

FTP has it, Party has it

It has probably been mentioned before, but can we get a visual cue to which tables need action? The audio cue doesn't tell you which table needs it, and it is an annoying sound. I shouldn't have to drop $50 on table ninja for this feature when it is the *only* feature I want.

And as to the whole euros thing... has there been any word on the rake structure? I remember back in the day on sites that had US and pound tables, the pound tables were raked at 1/2/3 pounds which ended up being close to twice the rake.

As with most things in TN, there's a free AHK that does this: StarsUrgentTable.

I have a great idea for pokerstars.

How about offering the games people like to play most?
So if game A is ten times more popular than game B you offer game A first.

For example NLO8 is 15 times more popular than PLO8.
You can check this by looking at how many turbo tourneys are running.
So you could offer NLO8 sit and goes instead or besides the PLO8 you have.

If NLO8 is your favorite game you can play that at Partypoker by the way.

There are AHK scripts that can take care of this for you.
