Obviously we discussed it. I think Steve will be able to be a bit more detailed with when the changes are expected to be implemented but a solution has been created and developed.

And feel free to play where you like!

Yup, 2015 he'll announce the final break-through regarding this......
I understand why Stars is not in a hurry to implement it......but why announce it?! Like i said, ridiculous, but when you have a monopoly......

I do

I know its a long shot but...

Was there any LHE discussion?

I will put most of the report together by the end of the weekend. A few sections will require contributions or authorship from other staff members so they may take longer.

Thanks for your patience in waiting for the reports.

You have a timeframe when they will add 5-card Omaha games to the Home Game options?

No sorry but that sounds like (in my opinion) something that shouldn't be difficult to implement and has no real drawback so perhaps send an e-mail to Stars.

I will also post my TR shortly after Steve has made his post, I think we all semi-promised to wait until he's done it and I also need to check a couple of things to make sure I'm not breaking the NDA.

Re: ratholing, this was one of the positive outcomes, it is my understanding based on these meetings that a full solution that should be satisfying for everyone will be out in the very near future.

Note: According to the NDA we are not allowed to quote Pokerstars or their reps on anything (or at least we were advised not to), so even if me or David were told X will happen on Y date we can only say "we think it will happen soon".

If anyone has any questions after Steve and myself have posted our TRs I'll be happy to answer all of them, but I'll refrain from answering anything until then. I'm sure we'll get to post ours within the next few days, Steve said he was working on it over the weekend (on his free time I assume?) so I don't think he's forgotten. Patience!

edit: will wait to post after Steve
