As a famous saying, slowly but surely.
It seems pretty clear from all that I've read that you're listening to your players' feedbacks; however, with all the dough you earn your software improvements ought to be faster.

Please, reach down your hand in your pocket and, pull out some more cash.
Playing with a good software is of paramount importance, but I don't think you're using your full potential. Sorry, but you guys are too unhurried.

So, just go see Steve, and beg for a raise or employ more people working in your team, because you guys are really RUNNING OUT OF VITAMINS.

I actually prefer the well thought out, albeit slower, way of doing things. It's much worse to take back a bad implemented idea than to figure out all of the angles and then add it if you're 100% confident that it's a solid improvement.

If they just start rapid firing updates and "improvements" at us, imo chances are the software would actually become worse. I have personally found the pace of improvement to be well balanced considering all of their non-affecting improvements greatly improve game experience for those that choose to use them and >95% of their affecting improvements have been very positive.

Despite that I can't think of a single other site that has made even 25% of the number of improvements that Stars has made in the past couple of years.

can you guys PLEASE include an option to disable the second popup for rebuys, (the one that tells you "1500 chips have been added and $xx.xx has been deducted from your account"

the first popup (which we can now bypass via the auto rebuy auto double rebuy, auto add on feature, thanks for that) asks "would you like to rebuy/add on x,xxx chips for $xx.xx?"

if i have enabled the automatic rebuy feature, why would i need a popup confirming that pokerstars did in fact debit my account funds in exchange for chips just like i asked them to? (is it to make sure we know that you haven't started giving them out for free?)


the real problem i have with them, is that they screw up the z order of tables and demand mouse movement or me hitting the enter key in order to clear, both of which are very distracting while multitabling

in the mean time, could you add a "bring table needing action to front" to the hotkeys beta as a temporary way to alleviate a little bit of the massive amount of stress these silly redundant popups cause me while 20+ tabling

Development is progressing, but we won't be able to have beta in January as we hoped; We now expect a public Beta to be released in February or early March.

There are plans to improve rebuy process in tournaments and make all the points you mentioned easier to carry out.

We will look into this -- would only apply if you have explicitly selected to auto rebuy.

For playing stacked.
When I select Sit-out X tables on next big blind. I would like to see a number in the corner on each table showing me how many tables I am sat in/out at. At the moment I have to go through all tables to make sure I am sat-out.

PLUS
Mac hot keys.
With the bet slider buttons you can set XBB pre flop and X% of pot post flop.
I use mouse macros to click these at the moment.
There is no equivalent on the hot keys, so I would have to have one set of hot keys pre-flop and another post flop.
I would like hot keys for Button1,Button2,Button3

Thanks, hopefully soon, too. Also, I think the chat moderators should be able to handle tournament issues or at least get a hold of support so we don't have to email support if there is an issue with a tournament, etc. Emailing is very difficult when you have 16+ tables going at once or maybe you could have 2 buttons "call moderator" or "call support" on the tables.

This "fast-moving ring game" isn't moving so fast, is it? Oh well. There's no rush.

Sounds like a good idea.
Or a button or something to close all tables where I am sitting out.

I am also using the sit ou next big blind function when playing stacked and I hate having a few tables where I sit out, as I always have a set up max number of tables openend (12). Because of that, I can end up playing only 10-11 tables instead of 12 for part of a session.

[timchuk]

I would love to see another theme like nova that has the cards off the table.

[andyg2001]

Can you confirm that the "fast moving ring game" will be based on players being put in a pool and then moving to a new table with players from the pool after they fold a hand?

[rugmuncher]

how about offering some playing cards for cheaper than £12?

it is free advertising after all.

[Bingas]

We need bring in button in the HotKeys for Stud games.

Would love to play mixed games on the Laptop. Now i can do everything with keyboard, but have to use mouse just to bring it in on in Stud format.

Thank you
