okay some things I just noticed... when did these occur?

four max 100/444 player tourneys.

90 and 180 player turbo PLOs.
OMG OMG OMG its turbo madness to go along with the Sunday event.

Im in heaven I think.

I can understand why an auto-top off option isn't added (with all the database hits) but maybe you can re-work the UI of the "options" dialog to include the text boxes required to rebuy right there on the spot.

I'm really anal when it comes to buying in the for the max amount. I usually play 4-6 tables and I like to top off my stack after each blind or whenever my stack drops below 100BBs. Having to battle a million dialog windows and message boxes is annoying to say the least.

--

Also occasionally I like to sweat my friends. If they load up multiple tables it's kind of annoying to have to "find" him and then click 1 table at a time. This listbox should definitely be multi-select.

--

Another thing that drives me bananas is how the current selected table reacts when the player count of the table changes.

Example... say you find a nice table with 5 people (6 max). You click the table once, check the stack sizes of everyone, and boom before you know it the table now has 6 people (full) and your selection is moved waaaay down the list.

Maybe you can alter it just a bit. If the player count = max players then auto-select the bottom most non-full table.

Someone mentioned this already but I'd really really really like to see deep stacked tables (pref. with a min buyin of 100BBs and max of 200BBs). I think this would solve a huge amount of problems that people have with shortstackers without really bothering anyone.

This one isn't really related to the software, but I suppose it sort of fits in this thread.

As a micro player (NL10, very close to NL25) I think you need to give these players more incentive to play on your site. FPP generation is really slow at these limits and typically the things you can buy with the FPPs you can afford at these limits are quite bad.

I really like Stars (it's the only place I play at for now) but once I'm properly rolled for NL25 the idea of moving to FTP crossed my mind because of the 27% rakeback offered.

On just about any site the rake is going to be pretty bad at this limit. If you're trying to build a roll 27% is a big deal.

I really have no idea how to alter this. As ridiculous as this may sound, what if you removed 30-50% of the rake at NL50 and below? This would give massive incentive for micros to play on Stars.

I have no idea what limit the majority of your players play at, but if they are starting out on Stars (micro players) it's probably in Star's best interest to keep them hooked on Stars as they move up. They should never feel like they need to change sites because once they do it's likely they won't come back (or at least won't treat Stars as their main site).

In the end I think it comes down to what site has the softest tables, best software, best support, solid integrity and reasonable offers/rakeback. Stars is by far the leader in a few of these categories. Why not take 1 more step and make Stars "the micro paradise"?

I know you're just asking to have the option to turn it off...but I wanted to mention that this prompt has saved me more times I care to imagine and it's not some sleezy hard-sell marketing thing imo.
There have been enough times when I was moving a table and I accidentally clicked on the X in the upper-right or accidentally clicked on 'leave table' when I had them in cascade mode and one table popped-up and just the wrong time or something.
So having that prompt there, when I'm in the middle of a freaking hand and REALLY didn't want to leave at all, has definitely been a good thing for me on multiple occasions.

Would love to be able to make the peoples names/money they are sitting with bigger when I have lots of tables tiled.

Cant do it any longer, now that they encrypted the INI file for the graphics/text.

This thread would be reduced by ~80% if people used the available, Free scripts

Hm, I know nothing about coding so I don't get how it relates to datamining, but I'll take your word for it that it does. Can't you just open a table and datamine? Or do you have to be seated?

Either way, I remember Party had a "next available seat" option and you could accept or decline until every table at that limit as seats became available. I'm pretty sure FT has something similar too. Personally, I think datamining is overrated. The important info such as vpip, pfr, and pfa, converge quick enough. What other detailed stats (such as %c/r turn), can you be using if you're multi-tabling? Maybe I'm naive. I don't datamine btw.

yeah.... the guys complaining about not being topped-off and clicking all the dialogue boxes are making me tilt

No doubt. I used to complain about those things until I got Stars Planner. This **** is awesome and easy to set up. It cuts down on sooo many unnecessary clicks. Great work Dave.

Sorry if this has been suggested, but I'm a lazy ass and don't feel like going through the whole thread. Please make the lobby more customizable. I would like to be able to filter down to just two limits or so. If I'm playing 3/6 and 5/10 I have to keep going back and forth between the medium stakes tab and the high stakes tab. Pretty small issue, but it'd be nice to have this.

not a software request, but please run big fpp buyin tourneys monthly at minimum

please please, it would at least double my play on your site

+1 to both!!!

Id play a ton more tournies if I could jsut buy in with fpps

I didn't read this thread, but here are some of my suggestions.

1. remove the check/call any button for NL tables. This button serves no purpose but if you accidently click it at the wrong time it could be disasterous.

2. hand history replayer similar to FTP and ABS.

3. when starting a table, make an additional button that says "wait for big blind" near the autopost blinds button, because otherwise you have to wait until the hand is over and then click wait for big blind, then click again autopost blinds when your turn comes up.

This would be brilliant, and would mean StarsPlanner could entirely automate the laborious routine until the first hand (in BB) is dealt

I didnt read the thread either, but I have one very large complaint.

When the window pops up notifying me that the table I've been waiting to join is open, ALLOW ME TO CLICK 1 BUTTON TO SIT IN WITH A FULL STACK. I don't know how you do that, but I need it bad and I suspect all full stacking multi-tablers feel the same.

stars planner takes care of this. check the software forum

fix it so you can CTRL C hand histories.

Has anyone ever asked why doesn't Pokerstars come out with their own branded VISA card? Just like accumulating air miles, with this card you'll instead accumulate fpps. I think it's a genius plan. I know I would use this card INF.

I sometimes multitable, but dont run any AHK scripts.

From Stars standard 'advanced multitable options' I use both 'single click' and 'pop up table'.

I am not sure how exactly it works, but when a table pops up, sometimes I can immediately adjust the bet/raise size by scrolling the mousewheel, but the rest of the time I have to activate the slidebar first.

It would be nice if I could always use the mousewheel to adjust the bets.

Maybe, while you're at it, program that pushing the mousewheel or right-clicking makes the raise-size a potbet.

Guess I could run a script for this, but that is too advanced for me.

Add my vote to:

* Option to disable the "Your chips will be available after the current hand" dialog box when I add on during a hand.

The first time it told me this it was useful. After 15,000 more dialog boxes, I have got the hang of it and you can stop reminding me, sheesh.

It really isn't

If you managed to turn on a computer and installed Stars - there is nothing more troublesome in doing the same and installing a script.

Please, just ask if you have problems - do not just dismiss it as "too difficult" without trying

Some of us are too damn dumb to do that. I have no idea how to use those scripts. I'd like to, but I don't understand what the hell they're telling me to do.

I want to get rid off 90% of the pop-ups--you have registered, you are joining such and such table, you're tournament is over, etc. Can't figure it out.

Is there a "scripts page for dummies?"

I've tried that. You don't get the help here like you used to. You'll usually get a response such as, "use the search feature," or "go to such and such web page it's self-explanatory, or "only an idiot can't figure that out." OK, fine, I'm an idiot, but I'll tell ya, I've read the scripts stuff over and over, and I'm lost at the first sentence.

Most of the kids who post here have been programing since they were eight years old so all of that stuff is a snap for them. Not so for others.

I'm lucky I can get FireFox to work. Took forever, but I got it.

I'm having problems getting the scripts to work as well. And the prtions of the scripts that I can get to work are buggy. Reading through some threads in the software forum makes me realize that I'm not the only one.

Would definitely like for Stars to remember my default buy-in and even buy me in when I sit down.

And a single click button to reload would be great too.
