[PokerStars] Software Improvement Thread - Page 502 - PokerStars: General discussion -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

You all have probably encountered the following problem on pokerstars:
When playing multiple tables in a stack, a table usually pops up to the front if it requires action. When acted on that table, the next in line pops to the front.

Everything works fine, unless you move a table out of the stack for an important decision or special attention. When the single table on the side requires action, the pop-to-front-when-action-needed in the stack doesn’t work any more. The tables time down somewhere in the stack and you never get to see them.

Ideally i would like to continue playing the stack while timing down on the single table on the side, thinking about a big decision.
Or play multiple stacks, ie. 9 stacks on a 30" moitor with 3 tables each.

I did write a script to do this in AHK, but the ahk’s read-pixel functions (to detect tables with required action) are so slow that it doesnt work well with 24 tables.

this is the pseudo-code of what i need..

every time the software plays the "attention reqired" sound, it needs to launch this function:

Code:

multistackpopup()
{
  for i:= 1 to number_of_tables
  { 
    if actionrequired(i) 
      {
        for j:= 1 to number_of_tables
          {

//if table without action req is OVER table with action 
req then move table without action req to bottom 
(so that i can see the table with action req)

            if (Z_index(j) > z_index(i))    
                and (xcoordinates(i) = xcoordinates(j)) 
                and (ycoordinates(i) = ycoordinates(y)) 
                and (NOT actionrequired(j)))
              {movetobottomofstack(j)}
          }
  }
}

as you see, it would be super-easy to implement this into the pokerstars-software and would make everyone happier. (i think everyone wants this, but most of the players dont know how to explain the issue issue and how easy a solution would be)

Would be nice to be able to make a note on a player from the lobby by right clicking on is name.

Please add an option to not display the "This is a knockout tournament" pop-up everytime you register for a KO tourney. Just a tick-box saying "Don't display this message again" or something would do.

Patent pending just means you've paid the money to apply for a patent.

Lets say you invent a thing called Crush Pokers where you can Crush a card mid-hand. You apply for a patent. It's patent pending. It's rejected

You apply again - it's still patent pending even though it's got **** all chance of being awarded.

Are there plans for synched breaks for 18-man? I wouldn't mind them for every single SNG format even including hyper 6's but at least 18-manssssssss?

On top of this, how about synched breaks for SnGs starting between :55 and :00?

synch breaks for tournamets that start at .55 or .00 is just silly, just wait with registering lol

synch breaks for 18mans is a great idea, i dont know any 18man reg who would be against it

Winning players will find it harder to drain the network due to the concept of the game and the network policies that naturally restrict the rewards to high raking winning players.

Say waaaaat?

Can you please do something about the guys hogging 6max tables only to play heads up. Some of them quit if the tables fills and there doesn't seem to be any restriction on sitting on a number of tables like there are on the HU tables.

You should be restricted from sitting at 6max tables for 36 hours if you start
/ stop X number of tables in X amount of time. These variables should be high enough and include factors that don't lock out casual players.
And obviously a player should not be punished for refusing to start a table with a certain player. I am not sure exactly how to set this but the main offenders are pretty obvious, they nearly exclusively play HU, which is fine but there are tables for that already.

It looks bad in the Lobby with loads of tables filled with bum hunters.

It hurts my brain and slows me down if I'm playing two tables with different blind levels.

It would be great to have the option to display buy-in's and Pot amounts in Big Blinds or $ at the tables.

Edit. Just checked it has been said many times before

Any way we can get a "join all tables" button for cash game lobbies? This would save me so much time.

Can we get an estimate of when the 'fast moving cash game' will be released (something a bit more specific than in a few months would be appreciated)? Or at least the beta? It would be great to have a more specific date to look forward to

Fix this:

Sometimes when I go to add a table nothing happens,I click on join the lobby minimizes
and nothing happens. I have to quit the client and lose the tables Im on,just to reset whatever glitch this is for Mac users Im presuming.

Other one is not being able to see my cards during a hand when I have folded.

Both happen at least once a day.

For me it is a cash-game table orientated issue - in that I never have this problem with MTT/SNG tables opening from the lobby...can you confirm?

Ta for reporting, for some reason I was just 'bearing with this issue' rather than raising it...

When you colour code someone now it jumps to the notes window... this is horrible! Are there plans to make it the way it used to be? This only adds extra clicks, you can double click on the player to take a note quickly so there's no need to have the quick colour coding go there too.

In addition to sorting the games by game type, I suggest a special tab for highstakes games. This will be convenient for both railbirds and players who want highstakes action without having to scan over 6 different game types constantly.
