Alex

Are there any plans to make tournament summaries prior to 2007 available?

Thanks.

Don't know if this is the right place for this, but I noticed after the update this morning, I haven't been accumulating any FPPs. Anyone know why this might be?

EDIT: Nevermind it works now.

I'd like to see a prompt for doing the add-on in rebuy tournaments. For help with multitabling of course. Just have the table prompt you the way they do when you need to play your hand.

with the ahk program starshotkeys, you can give a key a function to find the table which needs action most urgently

i press my "end" button and it pops up instantly

#1: Auto Add-on from the main menu for every MTT with an addon.

#2: Time Banks that add time as the MTT progresses

I think this site is terrible for the games, and as much as I love Stars I would prefer to move my play to an untracked site. Right now, all your competitors have other deficiencies that make it unfeasible for me to switch, but that won't be true forever.

Other than this issue, I do think you guys do a great job, and I know this is probably out of your control. But if you can, let people at Stars know that this is important to their high-volume players.
Bumping this, it got "+1"nd about ten times so hoping for a reply from a Stars Rep

Stars...do something about tableratings everyone hates it and I have yet to see someone supporting that site. Datamining is against the terms of condition, how could you allow this to continue?

Because apart from making tables completely unwatchable for observers, it's basically impossible for them to stop datamining.

I encountered something once last night and twice the night before that I have never seen before. After a seat available dialog box popped up and I clicked "not yet", a seat available box popped up for another table!

Previously, I had never seen the popup for another table appear until I had clicked yes or no on the previous table. This would occasionally result in the popup for the second table not appearing until only seconds were left to make a decision, or sometimes timing out and never appearing.

A nice improvement, however, you have to be aware that the second time such a popup appears it may not be for the table you think it is.

More 0.02/0.05$ NHL micro limits tables? Rakeback? Auto-refresh cashier? And be able to customize the lobby just like on Full Tilt Poker so you can always see your real money balance when you multitable?

Dear PokerStars representatives,

As of now, a hand reading assistant which displays hand strength on the bottom right-hand corner of a table is in use only on Play Money tables.

According to one member of your support team:

While I can understand the reasons behind not having hand strength displayed on Real Money tables by default, I don't understand why players are not given the option to display their hand strength on all tables if they deem it appropriate.

I make this suggestion because, when I multi-table games other than Hold'em, like PLO (or any game involving more than two hole cards as in Hold'em for the matter), my eyes get physically tired from darting back and forth between my hole cards and the board. This discourages me from playing games other than Hold'em, and prevents me from booking long sessions on multiple tables in those other games.

I could absolutely make decisions faster and avoid stressing out my eyes more than is necessary if I had the option to look down at the bottom right-hand side of a table and see for example "straight, 3 to 7", as is already possible on Play Money tables.

Why not give multi-tablers and people who value their eyesight the option to "Display Hand Strength on All Tables"?

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.
Bump because this is a sick idea. Especially if you play donk'n'gos.

Also, what happened to "color coded" notes?

Give it up guys; pokerstars will never be any good and they don't listen.

Thank god this thread is here so I can loose some frustration by telling everybody again and again how much I hate pokerstars. Being a marketing director myself and a passionate pokerplayer I have very little respect for their annoying demarketing.

PS needs to revisit their "partial VPP's" program that they are using for 9-man games under a certain level. I don't play them all that much, but when I do, I make LESS than before. I play them often when I am testing graphics, an AHK, or just feel like killing 30 minutes and not getting too involved. Let us have the old way back.

Next, it took months, no years, to get them to give us coding for when we are sitting in a game, and when we are waiting. What graphics "genious", after all those years decided, "Let's give them red, and ALMOST red...."

We repeat the many items most all of us would like, whether you are a multi tabler or single table player. Simple things like.....

Sit out Next BB
Remove all Waiting Lists.
Color coding for player notes
Optional Cash in Lobby
Limits on Sitting out with $0 bankroll
Block Poker Tables from datamining
and the list goes on...

What do we get after months of suggestions? New pics in the lobby, move the red replay-last-hand-button from the right side to the left side. Please PS's listen to the players, not just what a handful of employees (who may not even play poker) think is good. Most of us would rather play at PS over most other sites. It's a good site!! Make it better. Soon, other U.S. sites will open as the laws are changing, like here in California. As the movie Field of Dreams said, "If you build it, they will come..." so please keep improving in what players want. Thank you..

Dog

Don't you guys get it? Stars cares only about the appearance of their software instead of features. All one has to do is look at other online card rooms, even much smaller ones, and see how far behind Stars is when it comes to the software. Even their release cycle is a joke - for as big as they are and the amount of players they cater to, their software should be updated constantly.
