Good to hear. I've had trouble with emulators and have gone elsewhere for now, but I would consider switching if it's made easy. I remember somewhere, probably in this thread, you throwing out a rough timetable but I don't recall. Do you think this could be up and running this year?

please fix this. The filters are super annoying because they don't work!

someone already asked but this looks great pm me link of desktop pic the please

So, I just tried this, got the same result, and thought, "Damn - he's right."

Then I got to thinking: what is the correct definition of these things? Here's a picture of the filter:



Let's look at the Format section:

[ ] Standard
[ ] Bounty
[ ] Shootout
[ ] Turbo
[ ] Satellite

I suspect it's implemented thus: let's say you select only Satellite. Then they find all satellites and add those to the list of events you see. Thus turbo satellites are in the list, even though you have not checked Turbo.

I'm happy to file a bug here and tell the programmers they got it wrong, but I want to be sure we get the right behavior. My thought would be the following, two-pass operation:

1. Go through and add everything that's checked.
2. Go the list that you've got and remove everything that's not checked.

So, suppose it looks like this:

[ ] Standard
[ ] Bounty
[X] Shootout
[ ] Turbo
[X] Satellite

1. Go through and add all shootouts to the "show" list
2. Go through and add all satellites to the "show" list
3. Go through the "show" list and remove all Standard tournaments
4. Go through the "show" list and remove all Bounty tournaments
5. Go through the "show" list and remove all Turbo tournaments
6. Display the "show" list

Does this sound right to everybody?

I guess if a tournament can have multiple formats ie

Turbo Satellite
Turbo Shootout
etc....

I think it should be an OR operation.

So

[ ] Standard
[ ] Bounty
[X] Shootout
[ ] Turbo
[X] Satellite

would give you any tournament that is a shootout or a satellite. Turbo Satellites would end up in this list because they are a Satellite.

The other way to do it would be an AND operation so the above selection would give you tournaments that were Shootout Satellites.

The only problem is that if you selected Normal and something else you would end up with no tournaments shown since they can't be Normal and Turbo, etc...

Note that your "OR" definition is exactly what (I think) is implemented now. And that was borgsex's complaint (he got turbo satellites when turbo was unchecked).

Yea I think it should stay that way. Either that or add a dropdown box with "AND" and "OR" choices for the tournament types. But that might be too complicated for some non logical thinking people.

Lee-
You must have overlooked my post about a time bank-

Any thoughts?

Sir-
A little memory refresher if you will:
Lee-
When are us regulars going to get a time bank? I play PLO daily and have been requesting this along with many other regs. We need a time bank for cash games. We face several tough decisions throughout the course of the day, which equals thousands of dollars. Please put a time bank in. Every other major poker room has a time bank. I really dont want to pull my roll off cake, but if I do it will be for this reason alone.

Lee, is there anything in the works for the Gold Cards? The current system is dreadful. 99.9% of the cards every day have no value because you can't use them.

Why can't we have multiple GC tourneys and/or exchange for the cash daily? Speaking of cash, I would love to see Cake establish a Gold Card Stock Exchange where everyday players could trade in cards for cash and the cards would change daily.

As the players exchange them for cash, the GC would increase in value. Can't think of a better way to keep players glued to the site.

Yeah, I think we should have a time bank. In all honesty though, we're not going to have it in the next couple of months; there are higher priorities. After that, quite possibly.

Actually, we're working on a very exciting new feature involving Gold Cards. I can't discuss details except to say that I'm extremely pumped about it and it's hard to get me pumped about marketing features.

I expect that to be launched sometime this fall.

Best regards,

Mr. Jones,
I am very happy to hear about the potential changes to Gold Cards. However, when you say that there are more important priorities than adding a time bank to the cash tables; well, I must say that I am surprised. In the macro, I am a huge fan of Cake, and I am very pleased with the site as a whole. Having said that, from day 1, it has been my personal opinion that the time bank issue was the site's most glaring weakness, and of course, I e-mailed your excellent support team to share my opinion.

Thanks for your time and efforts and for actively participating in this forum.

I play limit holdem and I hope they never add a timebank. All it does is slow things down when the players who are playing mass tables use all the time available to them. One of the best things about Cake is the speed of the games. In general they move much faster than other sites.

Everybody has their own selfish view on things but if it's possible there shouldn't be a timebank for Limit.

I am still on the fence about the time bank, but I am most definitely in favor of 'disconnect protection'! But at the end of the day doesn't really matter until/if PLO8 traffic picks up!

And what's the deal w/ Stud8? I still don't get how it's not a priority for a modern (2010) online poker site to NOT offer at least all the HORSE games! Is our "beloved" Cake so cash-strapped that it can't allocate some funds to develop Stud/8?............................................. What are you waiting for Cake? Perhaps, for Stud to be solved?...

Just wanted to let everyone know that they changed the min players from 30 to 40 for the nightly 12.5K and 15K. So you should probably register for them before they start instead of counting to late register because they might not run otherwise.

The same happaned with my friends and cake closed their accounts. Fortunately Cake sent back their funds to their e-wallets but never opened their accounts. They didn't colluded, just played at the same IP but cake ignored their emails.

Also sent PM to Lee who asked to send mail to his cake mail. I did that but never get mail back.

Sorry Lee but your security team sucks hardly.

My main complaint was basically that if you unselect satellites it only removes only non-tubro satellites because turbo is still checked. Since 98% of satellites are turbos and super turbos unchecking this box does basically nothing to filter out satellites. Basically it's impossible to have turbos in the lobby without having it cluttered with satellites. This seems kind of silly no?

Hey All

Reading thought the Cake thread just now only been playing there a couple of months I wanna stick my oar in also.

New client is a little buggy but i see any bugs iv reported already fixed. Much prefer the new client, some great little touches, needs a create you own avatar option as the ones they have are jaded and make the site feel past it .

My friends check cashout has taken less than 6 days and was free (well the first one anyway).

What i was really impressed about and wanna Blab about was the support some replys i got in 30 seconds and always very helpful never failed to solve a problem even with the painful deposit process we all have in the US. *PROPS to agent Liam*

Also they added my rakeback after joining like 3 weeks Later and its free money every week with the donks and fish on the site.

Will be moving my bankroll from Tilt as it seem like they dont care and any support replys have been canned and useless and too hard to make any serious cash.

Lee, I think when people use the filter they're typically trying to filter out things that don't want to see.
They would normally see everything by default, so they are unchecking the things they don't want.

Therefore, I think if someone unchecks turbo, it should remove all turbos.

I also wanted to bring up the "Bet/Raise Any" button one more time. It applies to the entire betting round and cannot be unclicked once you've acted once.
This has caused me to cap turns and cap preflop with hands that really shouldn't be capping.

A time bank is needed, especially in higher stakes games, I play PLO daily from 1-2 to 5-10, and I face tough decisions at times and try to replay back the hand and then boom, Im timed out. Its not like theres a ton of traffice in the plo rooms, so its not going to slow things down, it going to give us players a little more time on a pot size bet for a couple hundred dollars, thats all. Not sure if you play plo or not, but the swings are pretty substantial in this game and a little 30 second time bank would be huge.

Good news, Mac persons! Due to some hardcore, in-depth research, [1] we have learned that the new Cake client (which is in beta now) runs flawlessly on VirtualBox.

I didn't know about VirtualBox before, but everything I read about it (owned by Oracle/Sun, open source, free, etc) looks like the kind of software I like to recommend.

We learned about this just yesterday afternoon so the details are still fuzzy. This coming week, we're going to research it further, make sure that it works with the out-of-the-box client, etc. Once we're sure of that, we'll document how to run it on Macs.

If any Mac user is successfully running the new client on a different emulator/virtualizer, please PM me. I'll pay $50 for each successfully documented solution.

Best regards,
Lee Jones

[1] One of our business guys walked by a graphics guy's desk and saw said graphics guy playing on the new client, on his Macbook Pro.

well now that my cake skin doesnt take the NS card anymore, no way to reasonably load. echecks would be nice...

so cake's 2 daily biggest tournys, the 12.5 k and the 15k have had been reduced to a 10k and a 12k but the buy in has stayed the same for both..is this a bad sign here or is it just me?

am i supposed to feel more secure that cake's employees are known and allowed to...play on Cake?
