On Full Tilt, how does the "only see 1 table per limit work"? If I sit at a 5/10 Deep game and a 5/10 normal game, does it show both?

This is good imo, you don't want HUSNG queues as on FTP where people wait for ages for fish to sit

Yes and it should be fixed in the future

Randomizing the tables is completly useless if ppl can sit at 24 tables of the same limit...

let's take a basic sample just in case :

5 ppl open 1 table each = 5 tables in the lobby
5 ppl open 24 tables each = 120 tables in the lobby

which group has the more % to catch a recreational player ?
do you think it's fair ?

when u go to stars hu holdem lobby there is 5 players all regs taking up about 40 tables. Most of them are siiting out. Ridiculous. I understand maybe u ran ur stack to 400 on a 50 max table and u want to preserve that but most of those ****s buy in for 50 or less and just sit out for days.

it's certainly not to preserve their stacks

they open 24 tables and when they catch 1-2 player or whatever # of table they are willing to play they have a small program that sitout every other table and when 1 table break the program make them sit in on every table

so it's just to exploit a hole in the system that they are sitting out/taking so many tables

PS seating policy is insane. I spent 45 minutes one night searching for a nl50 H/U table, and every one was taken by someone sitting out. Or when I did find a table, the other person would sit out and say that they were waiting for someone. I eventually got mad, and kept calling the chat abuse MODS so they could tell me the lame policy over and over again. This is the main reason I don't play on PS.

Stars update today: If you sit out on a HU table, you are now booted off after 4 mins.

I mean are you serious? I think it's 5 minutes on every other site and nobody has ever had a problem

taking a **** doesn't take 5 minutes unless you're trying to jerk off at the same time

if you're making food, you can go sit in once every 5 minutes

I was just giving a reason as to why someone would want 10-15 mins.

I'm quite happy with the change. Was a hell of a lot easier to find a game just before, no bigbuckbunny/ojlimpsinn/mrbriggs etc in the 50nl lobby.
