omg the 82 omahas are glorious!!

the trick is to not pre-register for tournaments that start on the hour if you're unlikely to be there on the hour
09-07-2014 , 11:10 AM
Yea I usually don't reg till I come back, be better if tourneys started at xx:02, and also 180s shouldn't starts during breaks.

in 7 how can i get sng other than the random smattering stars chooses at the top of my tournament lobby?

are there limits to what i can have in my filtered lobby? can i get husng/specific satelite sng of my choosing/ 45-18-6 mans?

*and if theres no way to designate whats shown there, good thing its still beta!?
09-07-2014 , 04:41 PM
lol, there's also a SNG lobby in the favourites tab. Just make all the filters you want, save them, and activate them in favourites.

It's awesome once you get the hang of it!

ya, i was hoping i could have the sng i want in the top of my tournament filter lobby.. like all the 180s and the random stt hyper sats and steps games that are already there

like if i want to grind whatever buyin 180 along side my mtts.... but instead of 180s which are possible i want stts or 45s hus or whatever that doesnt seem to be possible
09-07-2014 , 05:02 PM
i mean it seems a little unweidly while aiming at compelte convenience

different people will have different :intuitive: feels about how the filters :should: work, i just havent had it click yet and the tutorial hasnt helped so far
09-07-2014 , 05:21 PM
if i was designing it from scratch the whole favorites thing would be bracketed and sub bracketed and i could add every "sng>multi table> satelite> shootout>buy in range" or any similar series of specifications across any tabs, including cash/mtt/sng/zoom

and id be able to specify seperate buyin ranges for rebuys and freezeouts and seperate ranges for each for satelites and mtts

and i could choose to show :red/yellow/special/weekly: games despite where they fit into the buyin filters

and i could filter by the buyin of target tournaments for satelites, for instance not $3 scheduled hyper turbos to $11 tourneys even though i might play any $3 hyper turbo mtt or conversely $22r satelites to $320s even though ill play some 22rs or 22r sats to higher seats

and i would be able to select all/deselect all when (de)activating my favorites and also select all/deselect all at each bracket *which i showed above as ">"

and thats just off the top of my head

I agree it'd be helpful if we could have SNGs and MTTs in the same favourites tab. I'm constantly switching between the two.

you can do most of the things you listed above with 7 though.

should I download 7 or wait?
09-07-2014 , 09:51 PM
takes a while to set up filters to make sure you dont miss anything but def worth trying 7

I switched to it just to prepare for the inevitable change, but honestly I can't find anything I like about it better than 6.

The thing is there was literally nothing wrong with the last client. Everything was super easy to find and all the layouts were very well thought out.

It's not that the new client is bad per say, but it's just more clunky for no obvious reason (the best example is the new tournament lobby). Why change what isn't broken? They could have just taken the new skin and applied it to the old client instead of making these unnecessary changes.

Once a year a Zoom Sunday Million seems like a good idea which would bring some variety to it

Really love pokerstars 7 however It would be really nice to have your favourite MTTs and SNGs in the same lobby. Also it seems quite buggy, I often favourite different games and then when I turn my computer off and come back in the morning a lot of the changes I made are lost.

Also just want to reiterate the fact that you need more tournaments between b16 up to around an hour after the b33. Can we please get a response to this?

Early decembro

A "suggestion" tab would be nice in 7, based on favorites and/or current registered tournaments, it would suggests a few similar ones. I am never sure what tournament to add to my schedule, apart the "special" ones.
09-08-2014 , 10:24 AM
"People who played this tournament also played this tournament!" Like an Amazon / Genius technique. Actually a pretty good idea as long as it's not intrusive.

How are you shutting your client down? If it's not shut down normally (clicking the red X in the top right), favorites can be lost. They'll also be lost if the client crashes, or if it has to be closed via the task manager. Which tournament names (or IDs) did you lose? Is this a one-time or recurring issue? Thanks in advance for the information.

you never know if you need like 3 minutes or 5 minutes break and u will forget a lot of tourneys i guess. Before using TN i was hoping i wasn't in the blinds bc then the timebank wasnt activated. I think getting timebank extra after level 1 is the way to go.


And whats really needs to be done is giving more timebank @ 8r 2x turbo.
15secs to start is good, but since its in peak hours u will often need the timebank and its gone within 5 levels and u will miss some hands. U get 5 secs after the add on, i suggest 15 since most guys dont have timebank at that time. U dont need to give too much timebank when the bubble comes in play bc most of the time it will be stalling so i guess the bubble is @ bb 7k and giving 15sec after the bubble seems like a good idea.

15sec start, 15 sec after add on, 15 sec after bubble(pbb level 24 bb 8k) and maybe add a 5/10sec between add on and bubble @ level 18 bb 2.5k
to make sure u dont miss an hand during peak hours.

aparently its not very obvious how to do so
09-08-2014 , 04:41 PM
i mean my favorites tab will have 500+ individual gametypes in it after wcoop unless i realize how pointless that fact will be and stop favorite-ing games i would play again

i cant look at the favorites part of the lobby because its a total mess because i cant eliminate games

the favorites tab and the chip graph are the only 2 things 7 has on 6 for me a mtt/sng player and the favorites tab is not seeming so hot and theres no good documentation to correct that sentiment

you cant select/deselect all, or control/shift+click select, or select deselect all the contents of a folder at once

this is really it, please give me a .... ill call it "bye bye you ****ty game ill never play now i never have to see you again" button instead of a favorites button

all this complicated but ineffective and resource intensive filtering when all i really need is to tell the client, no i will never ever ever ever want to register that gametype so never show it (and then to be able to look over my blocked games and change my mind)


after my filtering of the toournaments tab right now there are 14/37 games late reging or that are sngs that i would choose not to ever see because i will never play them

and there are sngs i would like to reg that i cannot see
09-08-2014 , 05:27 PM
also the filters should have an added dimension of what they look at as criteria identifying satelites

if a satelite is a 11r with a target tournament of 215, and i favorite it, it should show all 11r satelites to 215s

if i prefer to only look for satelites for a specific target the text filter will usually work fine

dont you have a blog or something
