There are a several skins in Pacific network (Lotos, LuckyAce, etc), and they are have the old poker client now, so users still using 888caption v0.xx for them. Also some people still use old 888poker client (TableScan Turbo doesn't work with new client and there is no SnG registrator in 888Caption2)

2. Also i havent played in 888poker much. But for the betting postflop, i see min, 50 percent, 3/4 and pot. Does 888 not allow you to put custom bet sizing in the client like stars? For example stars allow four betting sizes. So if you wanted, you could have 35%, 45%, 52%, 58% etc. I don't see it at all.
There is no such option in poker client, but you can create onscreen betting button in HUD of 888Caption - see HUD / Table panels / OnClick description.

But does 888caption allow this? For example i see in the postflop, it allows you to put the amount that you want to bet postflop for flop, turn and river. So obviously putting 1/2 the pot is a waste for all 3 streets right since 1/2 the pot is already a betting option that is available in the bet sizing? For example let say you want it to be 55% for flop, turn and river. But you also want an option to bet say 40% the pot at any time you want. How does one do this? Is the only way to put it as a hotkey in betting hotkeys?
Read about Betscript on the site. It can create default bets for any game situations - open raises, isolates, postfop contbets, raises, etc.
Also you can use onscreen buttons and betting hotkeys.

So basically put 40%+0 BB and make hotkey say f2? And if you want another hotkey of say 80% bet size, put another hotkey? What if you have a certain hotkey for stars. I assume you can't have that same hotkey for 888? Also what hotkeys do most of you people use? Because you can't really use letters since many people type while playing. Are almost all of you using the function keys or something? Seems like there isn't much hotkeys you could use on your keyboard.
You can create up to 12 different betting hotkeys for preflop / postflop betting.

3. Is it possible to show the amount of BB in big bold like in tableoptimizer/stars? For example say you have 50bb, well you see it in the top left corner of the table and its in color and bold. So one doesn't have to look at the BB amount in their HEM2 hud since its pretty small? I took a look and i see the Hud tab. I put add new panel for table panel. But how do i put BB in there? I assume this is what is needed to be done to show BB in bold?
Yes, you can add HUD panel with stacks in bb or display or table amounts in bb's like this:
Also you can configure to display it in effective bb's or in M numbers.

4. I play primarily on stars. Do most people just keep the default betting sizes for 888 tournaments? I took a look and it seems the blind level on 888 is completely different from stars. Thus seem strange for people to 3x it when bb is 100. Also what about the 3bet sizing etc. Are these what most ppl keep and don't make any changes at all?
You can configure default bets depends on blinds level with 888caption.

5. Preflop bet sizing. I see there is option to make it 3x, 2.5x or whatever by position. I never did this as i had a default raise size regardless of position. I would change it by myself manually while playing depending on circumstances. But is this for cash game only or for tournament? Because if you have it set at 3x in early position. In tournaments assuming blinds are 200/400 and you have it set as 2.5x... in tournament its 2.5x right? Im assuming that is for cash tables only?
Openraises by positions is made for cashgame only in 888caption. See 'Tournament openraises' for tourneys (is depends on blinds level and limpers).
