**PokerStars Software Improvement Thread***

Please add a checkbox option to disable the "You've been moved to another table" popup.

Alex, anything at all on adding a tournament name and/or buyin to the title bar on each window? This can be frustrating when playing various tournaments with multiple buyins. Thanks.

And this.

My number 1 issue with the software is the timeout alert. IT SUCKS. Just a message in the chatbox and NO TIMER. It's no shame stealing from others look at how it is on Party. There is a POPUP ALERT with a sound and it counts down with a timer so you know exactly how many secs u got left. I've accidentally folded AA preflop countless times on Stars and also folded uber strong hands in big pots on the river while contemplating my betsizing for my raise.

This should be a relatively simple implementation.

Play less tables.

On FT they have deep tables and it only accounts for about 5% of all players in that type of game. FT has done this many years and it seems like it does not hurt there buisness model one bit.

Poker stars does offer deep tables at the nano stakes so im not sure whats going on there cause thats were the most weak players are.

Also i do believe stars does cater to stronger players in one way. They did add the 50bb min tables for the stronger players to take the advantage away from the weaker shortstack players.

When you talk of live play being deep that was when the games were extremely deep like 500 bb max or unlimited buy in. yes i can see that those effect the weaker player pool. When you play live today its common to see 200bb as the max buy in. I do not believe that effects weak players to much.

I just like the deep 200 bb tables at FT because it allows me to play twice as many hands which is more fun for me.

Although at 200bb max a good player might have a slight advantage over a weaker player but hey thats our argument for legalizing online pokerin the USA, thats its more a game of skill then luck. To add a couple of deep tables, that just one more thing that makes our point more clear that poker is more a game of skill then luck. Even if it is at the slight expense of some weaker players.

IF a weak player takes shots at deeper tables and feels they don't have an advantage they can always refuse to play at the deep tables and just play at regular tables. In these economic times its more important that a weak player or any player for that matter worry about bankroll management much more.

One more point. You are right pokerstars or any other site does not care about weaker players. Its a business so there primary care is about which is the best way they can maximize profits for there organization.

So for now i will continue to play cash games at FT and sng's at pokerstars.

Alex Scott,

Do you have any rebuttal or comments to what i said above? Thanks.

Wow ur a genius. Currently 80% of my play is on Party because I can 12-table MSNL 6max there with no problems. Stars has about the same amount of fish and more tables to choose from but my hourly is much lower because I have to play fewer tables or suffer from time outs. This single issue is forcing me not to play too much on Stars.

1) Option to fold hands face-up.

2) Introduce crazy pineapple tables, or integrate them into a mixed game format.

3) Ability to find players by location (i.e. type in "Ouagadougou" or "Los Angeles" rather than a screen name, and a list will pop up of all players currently on-line from these cities.

I can see why it might be pointless at holdem, but this is the best thing in the world for draw games. It was seriously awesome at UB.

this!

if i dont have timebank anymore i have no idea how much secs i have left to make my decision before timig out.

in one instance the software even openfolds. not sure right now if it is when your timebank runs out or when u dont have any timebank left and your regular time runs out or if you openfold in both cases.

if you dont want to change the fold by default to check by default i would at least like to know how many seconds i have left to make my decision

Alex, I will not give up. PLEASE ADD MORE LEVEL TO THE DoN's.

Your reasons that they will dry up the actions on normals are no longer valid.

The already died anyways. It takes more than an hour to fill a normal $225+ around 2-3 PM. Which is the time I play.

My guess is a $208 level DoN will make much more profit for stars than the normal $210+15. I presume there will be at least one $208 going on every 10 minutes and yesterday it took me 1 hour to start a normal $225. around 3pm.

Tyvm for reading
