This is getting out of line.

Think about this for a second.

A fish has actually managed to RUIN ALL SH games from NL2K+.

There are now a millon SH tables on NL2K and NL5K where 5-6 players sit out an hope that the fish sits at their table.

I really hope he disappears soon and doesn't come back.

Igotdaloop et al are just that... they are a group of players that all know each other. This would suggest chopping up wins away from the table and other general colluding type behaviour. I would have to agree with an earlier post that they must have software of some sorts to know exactly when a certain someone is online - either that or some insane ESP.

Anyone think that anything can be done?

We do have PTR to thank for this mess... wp wp

Is Ipoker back stable again? Is it still randomly crashing for anyone?

"Dear ...

Thank you for contacting us.

As we spoke about over the chat. Here is some additional information:

New Feature: Limitation of Seats for Heads Up Tables

Some players sit at a number of heads up tables waiting for an opponent to join them. If they do not wish to play with the opponent who joins them, they can sit out, and since they have not left the table, a stalemate will occur. Eventually the situation could reach a point where there are no open seats remaining for a certain stake. To counteract this, we now only allow players to sit at a limited number of Heads Up tables without playing (i.e. remaining in sit out status). This default number per network is 4.

If a player tries to join a heads up table while he is already seated at the configured number of heads up tables, the following message will be shown: Sorry, This seat is Currently Unavailable, Please try again later.

Heads up table limitation players can only open 4 empty tables at a time, player then can open additional tables that have players already sat waiting to play on.

As you can see from the above this does not stop players playing at tables but does prevent players stalemating the tables through sit out..."

this is great news

If you use minimaxmod you can customize your own sounds pretty easily

Pretty clear abuse of the site and not like they're going to get any sympathy from poker players at large.

Insane bad choice from ipoker regarding the new HU situation, ironic how they can have so many limits and currencies to play yet we can only sit at 4 tables total, all they had to do was incorporate the Party layout and all would be fine.

You have half a minute per decision on regular tables. That's more than Full Tilt for example.

It's the best decision they could've made. On FTP there's a similar rule (they say they will add it as a software feature in the future)
and we're trying to make PokerStars take a similar decision

HU table limitation is good, now if we could get ihami to actually play some hands at the tables too instead of constantly sitting out...

Titan sent an email last week to apologise for accidentally disabling the warning sound during an update, i'm guessing the same thing happened to noble when they updated yesterday.
