Drool. Rake-Free Multi-Entry would be soo awesome. But I guess it won't work with STT-SNG.

Good point. Think how much they save each time the server is down. Hmmmm, makes you wonder if they really need to restart it each week or if it's just a sneaky money-grab to save them paying rakeback.

i used to play 4 tables of full-ring rush poker at a time and i would get over 2000 hands per hour.

this sounds a lot but i'd do it by being a nit and instantly folding junk hands within 2-3 seconds of getting them dealt. the only time i was waiting was when i have a junk hand in the BB and had to wait until someone raised.

2,000 hands an hour? Are you sure? Most people claim to average around half that, don't they?

I'm encouraged if it's correct, but you'd have to act far quicker than 2-3 seconds when folding to manage 2k hands an hour.

11/9 style will get you that if you can fold like an asian.

Don't worry. Instead of actually testing it out me and my buddy at school decided to download recording software. FIle is 50MB and about 2-3 minutes long. Going to make a youtube account to post it unless you know of a better way.

Game was a little slow due to small player pool. Video quality isn't the greatest but it's clear to see everything I think.

I didn't record the joining of the table but it's pretty neat. It asks how many tables you would like to join under the buy in amount (standard stars buy in window) between 1-4 tables. For the video we just recorded 1 table.

Maybe you have to restart (and download the update) the Client

Here is a screenshot of the lobby:
