- no customizable bet buttons
- no "sit out next BB"
- no custom buy-in and re-buy options
- lobby option to look for tables with a minimum number of players, heads-up doesn't interest me.
Don't get me wrong, I want the site to be great. There are some pros however:
- ability to change screen name (anonymous is good)
- no HUDs (this coming from a habitual HUD user, I think they're generally bad for the game)
- decent gameplay overall
I also recently registered on the new software and I'm long time player and basically can back up all of this except the custom buy-in part.
I think the set buy-in amount looks and feels good and probably should be the standard in the industry. Yes, recs are forced to sit with more money presumably, but on the other hand its the same experience as buying-in for an MTT which is great imo.

I think Alex and team should consider forcing everyone on the new software even with its shortcomings, because right now people who use new software are at big disadvantage to those who have access to the lobby in its old format. I personally played many 4 table sessions already on the new software and its absolutely playable even with the missing fundamentals.
Love the new lobby system (when everyone is on it tho!), but it really needs feature like table starter and/or choosing not to play 2 or 3 handed. The forced HU sitaution is extremely annoying in both of its extremes. Either you play only 1-2hands and people sit out, or you get into high variance battle waiting for people to join.
