Hello all,
A long time since last you heard from me, so without further delay:

The next hand, an extra minute would be allotted and his hand would be folded again, never sitting out. This happened for more than 15 minutes total (among several disconnects), and this would be only about 10 blinds. I thank that you had a failsafe where the time bank added per hand decreases if he doesn't come back, but it just reset if he connected and disconnected again.
This made up for a considerable delay on an already very long game (3 hours), I have sent a report to check if the player was deliberately stalling, but even if it wasn't this doesn't sound like a good system at all even when no player is intently stalling, if someone disconnects, it would take a whole 4 hours to blind down 3000 chips.
And even then, if we consider the fact that a player can use this to stall, games could extend for such a long amount of time, and if the player can look at his hand while disconnected to decide if it is worth playing, he can even avoid losing too much EV in exchange for the additional (+EV for him) stalling.
Without making any judgement on your opponent in this case, there is the unfortunate fact that some players have used these tournaments to gain an unfair advantage in some form or another.
By the end of next week we will stop offering these tournaments.

Except for at the $1.50 buyin level. PLO8 run more often than NLO8 at the Turbos. In addition, there are actually not a lot of NLO8 Turbo HU tournaments firing off every day, so at this time it does not make much sense to offer them at higher buyins.
If you are willing to play Hypers, you will find NLO8s up to $100.

Hi
Everything is fine just fix this BUG please..
If you click lobby, and close tournament table, the lobby close too, unlike other sng's and tournaments if you close the table the lobby does not close..
So just make it so if the lobby is open and you close your table the lobby does not also close
This is issue because, sometimes randomly when it starts you cannot make notes or read notes unless you close the table and reopen it
Oh and the promotions, please reward regulars people who play often instead of making these stupid all in shootout promo's or make the challenges harder so you do not have 50k to 100k people in every bonus...
Thanks!
I have tried to recreate the issue in PokerStars 7 without experiencing what you describe. Every time I closed the table, the lobby would remain open. If you are using PokerStars 6, I would suggest you try moving to PokerStars 7 instead and see if that helps.
As for promotions, we are rewarding our most loyal players in a number of ways, most notably in the VIP Club. Promotions, in their nature are most often run to get new and sporadic players to the site, which is why they will usually focus on this segment of players. This is not to say that regular players don’t also benefit from our promotions, but we will continue to design most of them primarily with the recreational players in mind.
And finally, I have seen your request for an ‘Add Table’ button. And again, the reply is that it is being prioritized along with all the other development items we would like to have developed. I do not deny that it would be useful for the HU SNG players, but we have a lot of projects in the pipe line that needs to be higher on the list than ‘Add Table’.
It is not as small a project as you might think, so unfortunately, I can’t make any promises as to if and when this feature will find its way into our clients.
Thanks,
Baard
