STTs are all about multitabling; sometimes you have too many tables and accidentally
sit out from some of them.
It is hard to notice when you do sit out, it would be nice to have more serious signaling system, not just one small button changing color.

Love that u added $500 F50s. Rake seems alittle high tho compared with the ratio of $300-$500 game rake in other formats. For example, the $300 F50 rake is alittle lower than 6m hyper $300, but $500 F50 rake is higher than the 6m hyper $500. Can we get it lowered in line with the $300-$500 ratio from the 6m hypers?

Uh, it was implemented ages ago

Hello,

The rake has the same $300-$500 ratio as the 9max Turbos, which I think is a much more relevant comparison than 6 Max Hypers.

I noticed the pop up that appears when you register for SNGs changed. Is this a unique change or has the autoregister been implemented somewhere I can't find? The new screen kinda makes sense for autoregistration functionality.

it would be helpful if client would prompt you twice to act in a hand (like on ftp); now if you click elsewhere either to follow the action, by mistake or just conincidental you will get timed out and sat out.

Alternatively, what about a sit out sound? a specific tone that signals that you just sat out on one of your tables, that may be a helpful and easy fix...

The new text in the registration screen is to inform you about the new Auto UNregistering functionality.

The missing 'Register to any' functionality is still expected to return shortly after our next server re-start.

Unless im doing it wrong, to unreg all you need to

Click the lobby
ctrl R
click select all box
click unreg
click ok
close out registered in tourney box.

If i could have some one to hit one key or key combo that would do all that and then not leave anything open itd be a lot easier.

pop up about disconnections,how to get rid of it

Disconnect!









...but seriously, this is annoying, I would appreciate if there could be a "never show this again" tickbox added.

Hello all,

Friday is upon us, and an exciting weekend with the 7th anniversary Sunday Million and the 95 Billionth Hand coming up. But before that, it is time to answer some of your questions:

We are in the process of testing the feature, so if everything works as it should, it will be implemented within a few months.

This is not something that we have received a lot of complaints about, and without more information, it is difficult for me say what the cause of this might be. I have had a look myself, and I cannot reproduce this.

The next time it happens, I suggest you save your log files (via the help menu) and mail them to support@pokerstars.com along with a brief explanation of the issue.

I have been looking at the numbers, and you are definitely right that the $100s are running a lot more frequently of late. I will deploy some $200s and see how they do.

As you mention yourself, you have the option of unregistering from all tournaments by opening the 'Registered in tournaments' window.

Since we are only talking about saving the users 3-4 clicks once per session, this suggestion is not something that will be prioritized in the foreseeable future.

Easy Seat will keep your session topped up so that you will always play/be registered for the number of tournaments you have defined for that session.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will forward it to our product team who will make an evaluation and a decision on whether or not to implement something like this.

For this and other suggestions of software improvements, we also have the Software Improvement Thread which is in the very capable hands of my colleague Stefan.

Thanks
Baard

Hi Baard
Any update on the blind structure thread you created in here?

gg bankroll

Just had problems where registered stt were not popping out.
And even trying to manually opening them while they were sitting out was a pain in the ass
as the tournament lobbies were unresponsive.
Blinded out like 3 or 4 of them manage to open 1 up but I had only 1BB.

Anyone else have similiar problems like mine before?

wow just looked at my pt4 vs sharkscope and saw a discrepancy of 844 vs 908 stts
i guess i sat out more of these than i thought

edit: after much investigating, this seems to be a TN problem

You should be paying some more attention if you are blinding out more than 5% of the SNGs you are playing without noticing... Anyway it has happened once or tweice to me, not sure what causes it but if it happening so often it is most likely a problem unrelated to the client but something on your end.

Pretty small thing, but the $30 NLO8 6-max hypers run with some regularity now. If you add a $60 and/or $100, it'll/they'll run IMO.

Yeah I would like a NL Hi-Lo

have emailed stars about this. The response :

Thank you for your email and allowing us to be of assistance.

The log files you have provided indicate there is a problem during execution time for the PokerStars application.

These execution time errors recorded are likely related to the software malfunctions that you are experiencing.

There are many causes for such run time errors, but usually these are associated with corrupted PokerStars files. In other cases, these are associated with spyware or malware. And in some rare cases, these are also related to corrupted memory or a corrupted hard drive.

Fortunately there are few simple steps that can be taken to try to resolve such problems, ensure that your system is clean, and at the same time check the stability of your memory and hard drive.

To begin, please first ensure you have performed a complete virus scan of your system. If you do not have a virus program we recommend using the following free online scan.

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Next, please run the Scan Disk utility by opening a Command Prompt or DOS prompt

For Windows Vista or Windows 7, you will first need to run the command prompt in Administrator mode:

1) Click on the Start button.
2) In the Start Search box, type in "Cmd" (without quotes).
3) Right click on the Command Prompt in the search result listing.
4) In the right click menu, click on 'Run as Administrator' menu item.
5) In the black window enter the command "CHKDSK /F" (without the quotes)

Once we are sure that your have virus checked your system and that your hard disk is working fine, let us ensure that there are no spyware or adware installed in your computer.

Spyware or adware are third party software applications that secretly get installed in your PC. We recommend the following scans be used to ensure your system is clean.

MalwareBytes Anti-Malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebyte...=dl&tag=button

Super AntiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html

All of the above are free, and work well in conjunction with each other, finding things the other does not. Cleaning your system may free up more RAM and remove items from your system that affect your connection and our software functionality.

Additionally to that, we would also recommend performing a registry scan and make sure that is clean. You can find a very good free program on the following link.

http://www.ccleaner.com/

Once you have performed the suggested scans above please uninstall PokerStars from your system and reinstall.

You may wish to back up "user.ini" and "notes.user.xml" (where 'user' is your user ID) from the PokerStars directory. The easiest way to back up these files is to open the software and click on "Help" -> "Open My Settings Folder". Then locate those two files and copy them to a safe temporary location. Then uninstall PokerStars.

In Windows Vista or Windows 7:

Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Uninstall a Program. Once there, uninstall all PokerStars items.

After you have uninstalled it, restart your computer once the software has been removed. When the computer has restarted, download and install a fresh copy of the software from our website:

http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/download/

Be sure to restore the two saved files once reinstalled, to do this please go to the 'Help' menu and then back to 'Open My Settings Folder'. Then close PokerStars and copy the files back into the folder. If you are asked to overwrite any files accept.

Once all of the above is done, you should have no additional problems. However, please let us know if you continue having issues after performing the system maintenance described above.

Steps Hyperturbos 9m and 6m would be great ?¿?¿?

Not sure if people would like this or not but I personally enjoy having the "Discuss Deal" option on FTP. It would be cool if stars could implement this too.

Wrong thread/forum. This one is for SnG's.

i think hes talking bout sngs, cuz at FTP you have Discuss Deal even in HeadsupSNGs so you can chop with the regssssss

+1,

really no negative to spreading bigger limits.

If you wanted to be bold, you could put out a $300-$500 level for the high rollers. You allow some of the cash games regs play em when they're bored and when cash games action is dry. I don't think a 600NL reg would be too enticed to play a $30 SNG whereas a $500 buyin would give them more joy. It has almost zero affect on liquidity of the SNG games since players playing $15s and $30s are not going to stop playing them and suddenly jump to the $500s.

One more thing:

Would you be willing to trial some PLO and NLO8 50/50s? Seems like the regular 9-man SNGs are dead due to a lack of interest and increase popularity in hypers. With a proper rake + structure, I think these would be a good alternative to hypers and 18 man turbos.

Thanks again for your consistent replies every Friday!

Hello again,

Apologies for not posting on Friday, but hopefully this post is relevant even today.

The NL08 Hyper volume is growing steadily, and as a consequence of this we have decided to deploy a complete offering up to $500s. They should be available in the lobby by the time you are reading this.

NL08 Fifty50s, however, is not something we are likely to offer in the foreseeable future. We are not getting many requests for expanding Fifty50s to other game types and are hesitant to split liquidity in this way.

That should be it for this week, really. Don’t forget to check out the live action from EPT London on PokerStars.tv this week. There will be comprehensive live coverage every day through Saturday, and the schedule can be found here.

I will return to this thread sometime between Friday and Sunday.

Thanks,
Baard
