He wants a software option where you click the button and then the money magically appears in your hand.
LDO.
I agree that this would be a cool software feature. Get your tech guys to work on that please.

Don't be ridiculous, that Star Trek teleportation technology is centuries away. PokerStars should be able to send you money you can print out on your inkjet printer though. High resolution color printers are here today...

When I do this, user.ini is a .bak file...that I can't open. There's just a 'User' file thats a notepad file, but I don't see where 'MinimizeLobby' is anywhere on the screen. Do I just type that in under the other options or am I missing something???

depending on windows, the .ini extension may not be shown (it wasn't on my computer). open the "user" file.

The "MinimizeLobby" line does not exist yet -- you need to added under the [options] section.

For security you should have "hide extensions for known file types" unchecked

along the lines of "bet the pot", it would be great if we could create some user defined buttons for various bet sizes: e.g. 1/2 the pot, 2/3 the pot, 1/1 the pot etc.

Exactly how best to do this (from a UI design standpoint) I'm not sure but the point is to save the player time when he decides "I want to bet 3/4 the pot" and then has to wrestle with the bet slider or do the arithmetic and type in the number.

The ideal interface would be I simply think of an action and it happens. Good user interfaces get closer to this ideal than bad one.

regarding streamline UI design, here is a quote I like:

The User Interface is set to become a major battleground for mobile devices in the next twelve months as the hardware and capabilities reach a plateau – and the Sony Ericsson W950i is in need of urgent reinforcement.
The Palm and iPhone people get it and their customers are not even using 8, 12 or 24 devices simultaneously! Multitabling multiplies every little UI annoyance by the number of tables you are playing!

and the all in button, and the ****ty avatars, and the horrible table layouts, and the inferior lobby filtering, and the instant HH, and just about everything else except for the auto-reload
