We are working on a permanent fix and will definitely bring back this option, but at the moment can't say exactly when it will be deployed.

Just needed to say this:

Thank you very much for addressing the post in a timely manner. Also, looking forward for the permanent fix where you bring back the functionality.

Cheers!

This isn't really true. I'd say it was probably easier to get a lobby in late 2011 than it is today.

Sure, but I also don't think there are really that many decent who really deserve to opensit $100's. I was playing on Full Tilt that night where someone posted a screenshot of the 50+ player waiting list in the Regs Thread and there were maybe 20 people opensitting on FT at $100 and $200, maybe even less. And I got quite a bit of action at the $60's.

So apparently there were like 30 people using Sharky's waiting list who were not also opensitting lobbies on Full Tilt. Why? I believe Sharky tells you your position in the waiting list (?), so if you're at position 30, then you know that you've plenty until the game starts. So why not play a few games on FT in the meantime?

Probably because everyone can sit you while you're waiting on FT and if you're only good enough to play $30's, the other regs will figure that out pretty quickly. Of course, the lobby structure also makes that easier: you scan the list of all the 10-20 people who're sitting, see someone that you've a fish label on and sit him. And you have plenty of time to look at the entire waiting list and pick the weakest target. You can even read all your player notes and look at his PT4 stats prior to sitting the guy.

But on Stars, nobody seems to really care. People seem to simply lean back, relax and let Sharky handle all the registration rather than cleaning up the lobbies at least a little bit.

If this trend continues, then we'll have 100+ newbies who just learned the game in the Sharky queue for $100+ by the end of the year.

it's really hard, sometimes downright frustrating to join a low stake hyper turbo game using the pokerstars app. they fill up way to fast, especially since you're on 3g.

it would be great to have a join a similar game of this type option (like there used to be in the desktop version) or open up more tables (at least at the lower stakes 15 and down).

Why do i get the feeling we'll still be getting this message in 6 months time.

Should have been fixed, already having a big impact on the games.

+1 - I assume you're talking about PS Mobile here? It's a freaking pain to reg a low stakes HUSNG due to the delay

Yah, pokerstars mobile.

doesn't just frustrate the players, but they are losing out on a ton of game time (rake). sometimes it takes repeated tries for 2-3 minutes. i could have put in another hyper game in that time. and instead of being able to play a game in the washroom while i snuck away from office work, i have to return to my desk job empty handed.

Hello again,

A couple of issues to deal with since last time, so here we go:

games, esp. in higher stakes, meaning more rake for them

Thank you for your suggestions.

We are unlikely to introduce a permanent HUSNG promotion, but we are considering multiple options for occasional promotions for these tournaments.

As we have stated before, ‘Add another table’ is coming at some point, but we can’t commit to a timeframe on this at present.

As for the re-match window, we do plan to reduce the extra added time at some point in the future, and have already reduced the rematch time in the past year. We will also look into other issues there might be with the functionality and come back later for further discussion.

We appreciate the suggestion and did discuss this internally, but in the end concluded that this is not something that we want to implement.

We have the re-match on our list of items to be developed for our mobile clients, but the development queue for mobile is particularly backed up, so I can’t promise when this will be implemented.

As for the betting, I am not sure if you are referring to the mobile or the desktop client. In the desktop client, you can simply go to Options -> Bet Slider Options and adjust your settings there. If you are thinking about the mobile client, then I will add this to the list of suggestions we have for future developments.

Unfortunately, as it stands now, the fix for this involves a server re-start. We realize that not having this functionality is a major inconvenience for many of you, but at the same time we can't justify an unscheduled server re-start because of it.

So for the time being, it seems you will have to wait until the next re-start in March. In the mean time, we'll try to find an alternative solution, but we cannot promise anything.

Thanks,
Baard

Yeah +1 it's a pain but I'm sure PS ran the numbers and the money lost from less regs on HUSNGs until the restart must be less than the money lost on all games if they do an extra restart. Sucks but I'd do the same thing in their position if it meant more profit.

So far Stars are going to improve nothing, and maybe, someday they will add minor things like add a table button and other little pieces, but right now gtfo guys. Did I get it right?

wait how did that happen? a link to pokerstars.com that didn't redirect to the top level of pokerstars.co.uk? even more if that's been fixed! This looks like a great promotion imo, glad there's more to it than just bonus VPP
