I strongly think that this would greatly benefit mutli-tablers as they don't have to keep manually folding or accidently timing out and can concentrate more on hands they want to play.
Please, please, 888 rep, go nowhere near this idea at all. It's basically a semi-bot, which would completely wreck the games and see a mass exodus of thinking regs. If you want to encourage multi-tabling, and the number of hands played per player (and which site wouldn't?) then there are two things to focus on:

1. Just speed up the software a bit. FTP's software (my only real point of comparison) just seemed to run slightly faster and so allow more hands per hour. Insta-fold doesn't seem quite as, um, instant.

2. Fix the focus steal effect which seems to occur a lot of the time, so that every time action is to you on a new table, that table pops up, meaning you have to click back to the old one and interrupting the thought process. The pop-up system should build a queue, and as soon as you complete action on the first table, additional tables should pop up in the order of time left to act. Make this change and I (and I suspect quite a few others) will increase the number of tables I play, increasing liquidity and rake.

Cliffs: don't ever introduce something which auto-folds certain hands. Make other changes instead.

That's not correct. When a player country is not displayed it means that they either play from a different site on the same network or they are logged in via the web platform(the no-download version).

Ok, after having read other posts against this idea and after having thought about it further myself, admittedly I agree that this idea shouldn't be implemented. My initial idea was that it was good for multi-tablers to focus on hands that are more important but now having thought about it I agree that this feature should be left well alone ...

Hi 888, just made my first deposit at your site. I'm pretty happy with the software and I literally tried 10 other sites before settling at yours

There are just a few features which I really really miss from the Pokerstars software. Would be so great if it could be implemented.

[B]1. Auto Wait for Big Blind[\B]

This should be a staple in the settings section! Why would I not want to wait for the big blind at one table and not the other? And why after clicking it do I need to still decide to auto-post blinds from that point onwards? It's just very cumbersome. In addition, the timer to post or wait for Big Blind is wicked fast, especially when multi-tabling. I say, just enable us to pre-determine to auto wait for big blind, always.

[B]2. Multi-filters for the Lobby[\B]

Meaning giving me the ability to set several filters such as a table by Avg Stack, followed by Plr/Flop and so on. More fields at the lobby would be nice too.

[B]3. Time Bank[\B]

Nothing hurts more than timing out on other tables when making a tough decision! One poker room I saw had a cool time bank feature where extra time scales by pot size or replenishes when you play more hands.

[B]4. Sit out on Next Hand/ Big Blind (Single table and all tables)[\B]

Pretty self explanatory why this would be a feature of great convenience - for both tilt and washroom breaks!

[888Rep;29013338]How many days do we have to clear this bonus?

Will check into this and let you know.
It's been 10 days and I haven't heard back from you yet. I don't really care about the bonus, but I am concerned with your absence in this thread.

I may have answered more questions than you have in this thread so far And since I just chastised another site rep for his behavior, I figured I'd let you know how I felt.

Just let us see your face once in a while

Thanks for the feedback. Some good points.

There's been some behind the scenes shuffling and vacations that has taken a bit longer for replies. I've been "monitoring" daily, and if there are any urgent issues I try to take care of them right away.

That being said, I should be posting more actively from here on out

I personally appreciate the feedback and help you and others have and continue to provide to the community in the mean time.

- How many days to clear the new deposit bonus you put up?


90 days

- PLO HU Tables –

I don't have any updates on this yet. Don't expect any to pop up in the next few weeks though.


- popups in IE rather than users own preference.


Working on it.

- Cashier still popping up –

This shouldn't be happening anymore. If it is, can you please PM me with version and OS.

- superturbo structure: -

This has been brought up, and hopefully we'll get some feedback in the near future.

Mine works... It was a bit slow though. I'll inquire about any issues, in the meantime, the usual restart software, restart computer, reboot modem, update software might help.

I don't think this would have a negative impact on the PLO traffic. Most of the players 1/2 and up multi table all available tables at their limits anyways. And the limits below 1/2 have reasonable amounts of traffic.


I think the demand has been high enough to warrant a trial run, although it's not my decision anyways. All the feedback here gets sent to the decision makers. Yours will be passed along as well.

Thanks (Aaron?)

I appreciate your presence in this thread. After what happened with FTP, I'm steadily looking for assurances that my money is safe. And 888 having a representative that I can communicate with gives me confidence that I've made a good choice by playing on your site.

Having confidence that your money is safe is our primary concern. Whether it's myself (Aaron), or Sean, if there are every any emergencies, you should always be able to get someone via PM.

i second this, gets so annoying when you only have like 2 secs to post yr blind
and then wait another orbit, miss it that time again...

Tip: After you have clicked on the "wait for BB" button, tick the "auto-post blinds" checkbox. It will then auto-post the blind when it's your BB.

But yeah, a standardized auto-wait for BB would be great

Just make that option well hidden in the settings so no fish can find it.
