Does anyone else hate the fact that Pokerstars has an Auto muck feature ? I was wondering if there was any way around it because i'm tired of not being able to see peoples cards when they lose. It keeps me from knowing if they are huge donks or trying to bluff me or what.

Check the hand history or use a HUD.

The only thing that annoys me about it is when I get it in preflop w/ AK or something and have no idea if I'm ahead or not.

Nope, turn it off if you don't like it.

Everyone knows that the auto-muck feature on Stars is rigged.

Perhaps you could Email Pokerstars support and request a "peek" option.

on the fast tables on stars, even if someone wants to show their cards it flashes by so fast that you can't even see it any way

eternalskye i think this is a good question as when playing heads up it wouldnt slow the game to show the whole cards, it might even slow the game by the checking the hand history to find out tho.

That's why you have a hud, OR aren't really really really slow at clicking. I assume headsup you will play 1 table or 2 tables max unless you're really good at it anyway.

Auto-rebuy is a must if you're any good, because (as others have already detailed) you win more when you win.

And if you're really that slow at going to the HH, just use a HUD. I 4-table at the moment without a HUD and it's really not that hard to just check the HH, but to each his own I suppose.
