Agree 100% 39suited!

The bankroll busters and freerolls are great, I have made about $6.50 playing in these and I am not that good!

Hopefully there will be some action on the Omaha H/L tables soon.
10-10-2011 , 02:47 PM
Agreed, the freeroll's are very easy
10-10-2011 , 04:15 PM
Now if I could only win one grr 11th again and rivered, had 8th and 11th before as well was funny though, the €30 Freeroll had a prize pool of €48 after rebuys and add-ons and top 40 out of 150 or so paid.
10-10-2011 , 05:04 PM
Feerolls are super easy, what i cant understand is why there are 100+ players in these but traffic elsewhere is so low.

That said I have to say after messing around in these, and some cash and sngs, im impressed with the software. easy to use and imo much better than most if not all (bar one) of the established rooms out there.

Also been very impressed with the YP rep here, the way he has answered and implemented most of the suggestions made here is commendable.

Hope the traffic improves very soon.

Stay in there, I watched you going deep already the first day you started playing!

The traffic will improve. The network is looking to sign some more skins, and this will definately improve the amount of players.

Concerning the traffic in the freerolls vs real games; with free money there will always be players trying to claim it. Many of them are saving up their winnings, the only question is if they are saving it for withdrawal or to have a sturdy bankroll to start with.

In either case, we are trying to convert the freerollers to real players.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Best regards,

I folded them preflop as well But doesn't happen that often to get Quads dealt, think I had that maybe 6-7 times in the few years that I am playing Omaha now.

Ye,

It's very rare.

I made a quick calculation: 0.000369% chance of happening. (4/52)*(3/51)*(2/50)*(1/49)= 0.00000369

Think that's correct?

Good fold pre imo!

That sounds about right, I am still in that Omaha "Donkroll" though and in the top 15, but short and card dead ... makes for a good distraction of the mind while working though.

Meh, about 1 in 271,000 hands
10-11-2011 , 12:57 PM
First, thank you very much for the 10€. Rep is a monster


2. If you want to implement some new games (Razz, Stud, Horse, whatever) why don't make some freerolls? So like 70% HE, 15-20% Omaha and 5-10% Razz/Stud Freerolls or something like that?

3. Hand History needs to be in the soft, rather than in the browser.

4. I'm asking every poker site I play at: could you implement a feature for Cash/Tourneys where everyones stack is displayed in Blinds, not in $/Chips?

5. you said you were in discussion with HEM, what about PokerTracker?

6. Filter for tourneys: We might like a filter for rebuy/freezeout, turbo/nonturbo/superturbo

7. I think avatars are a bit small. Could you increase it by ~20%

Overall I really like your site, so much rakeback, free money, tokens and whatnot. Already doubled my buy in with your micro tourneys.

really, waiting 5 seconds at the end of the hand just to see i got sucked out isn't fun. just make them hands visible when an all in situation is on

AFAIK, that rule is standard only for tournaments. In cash games it's up to the players to show their hand or not, except for the last bettor and the winner.

He is talking about the forced showdown prior to the river, e.g. at least two players all-in on an earlier street already. On almost all poker sites the cards are revealed when the betting is complete, but on Yachting so far they are kept hidden until after the River card has been dealt.

I like this solution.

Small feature request. Is it possible to have the same tab in the lobby selected on startup that was selected on logout. For instance each time I login I click on the omaha tab to check if there is an omaha game running because the tab defaults back to hold'em each time.

Yes, I know.

Well, if most poker sites do it wrong, that is no reason for YP to do it wrong too, now is it?

Seriously, you would be hard pressed to find a casino where they employ that rule. At most, they will turn the cards over on request from players, usually when collusion is suspected. If you use it too often, you might get ejected from your seat. For online poker, there is no good reason to do this, since you can report suspected collusion and they can review all the hands at any time. From "Robert's Rules of Poker", General Rules section on Showdown, point 5:

Quote:

However, this is a privilege that may be revoked if abused. If a player other than the pot winner asks to see a hand that has been folded, that hand is dead. If the winning player asks to see a losing player’s hand, both hands are live, and the best hand wins.
Another point: the only case where you won't eventually see someone's hand in an all-in situation is if they just called someone's raise and lost. The hole cards of the winner are obviously shown, as are those of the player that bet/raised last.

Bottom line, while seeing the cards might add an entertainment factor, it also reveals information about players that are not mandated by standard rules. YP is doing it right.

Yeah, that would work... Thing is no one wants their cards to be shown in all-in situations, only the cards of other players. After the first all-in situation when a player's hand would be shown, but not for others in the same hand (those who chose to disable the tabling), everyone would turn on the option for themselves too. I would bet a fair amount of money that in a few days after introducing such an option, all active players would have chosen to disable tabling the cards and moreover, new players who had the option on by default would have filed quite a few complaints.

This needs to be a network-wide global decision with no opt-in or opt-out.

Sounds like you have a lot of free time at your work, or you don't work very hard?

Either way - I like it!

Good idea, however Razz and Horse are currently not available games and wont be for the time being. Reason being that these are not very popular and will certainly be completely empty at the start of the network anyhow. But since we do offer stud I think we can definately have a stud freeroll too.

3. Hand History needs to be in the soft, rather than in the browser.
I agree completely

4. I'm asking every poker site I play at: could you implement a feature for Cash/Tourneys where everyones stack is displayed in Blinds, not in $/Chips?
I like this idea, I'm contacting the developers to see if this is something that we can implement. I personally always view stacks in terms of BBs too, so this is something that I would like to see myself!

5. you said you were in discussion with HEM, what about PokerTracker?
We have looked at the possibilities of implementing them too, if we do HEM we are most likely implementing poker tracker as well. They seem to go hand in hand.

6. Filter for tourneys: We might like a filter for rebuy/freezeout, turbo/nonturbo/superturbo
Ok, I just spoke to the developers and it should not be a problem. Will spec it out for them and hopefully this will be developed within the coming months. I can't set a time frame but from the sounds of it this will be done as per your request.

7. I think avatars are a bit small. Could you increase it by ~20%
They are small, I agree with you. However this is quite a large change and something that can be prioritized at this time. I let management know, and your opinion has been heard.

Overall I really like your site, so much rakeback, free money, tokens and whatnot. Already doubled my buy in with your micro tourneys.
My responses are marked in bold in the quoted area.

Glad to hear it, I've given you €10 cash for your ideas and feedback. I appreciate that you took the time to write it up and let me know.

As mentioned, we will have it default that all hands are shown upon all in. And enable an option that hides cards when all in.

This feature would work like this: If Player A has the option enabeled and Player B doesn't - the cards will not be tabled for any player. In this way two players may have their hands shown if they both prefer it that way.

It sounds feasible, I've asked the developers if they can make this feature for you. I suggested that it remembers the last tabs open before closing, and it would remember those features based on the login. So even if you logged in on another computer, you would have the omaha tab default if you closed the client with the omaha tab open.

Look at my response to AlexanderGrey in this post. Does this sound like a good solution to you?


I really appreciate the feedback everyone, thanks a lot.

Laptop + external 23" Screen and the ability of multi tasking prevented me from going insane at my job for quite some time.

Looking at your forum activity I'm lead to beleive that the non-work stuff is on the external 23".

Will you be crushing freerolls as usual today?

Probably not, I have some writing ahead and deadline is end of the week ... just enjoying the first coffee of the day to wake up properly. Kinda necessary because we can't all have such a nice weather like Malta, for example.

In most of the Freerolls though, I flip early on to double or triple up and from there just play position or decent starting hands. Once you are ITM you can flip again because the difference between early cash and top 15 aint that big anyways.

You don't have to pay as much attention to the tables yet and its easy to have it "for fun" on the smaller laptop screen.

Can you have more tournys without rebuys? Mayb this will cut down the all in callers.

Hello again!

We certainly could. However the only problem I see is that the Guaranteed amount wont be particularily high as we would need a lot more of player registering.

But let me know at what time CET+1 (it is 09.20 A.M at the time I'm posting this) you would like a freezeout and I will speak to the tournaments department.
