Something that hasnt been mentioned is the short breaks that you seem to have here, the mtt's start way earlier than other sites forcing a lot of my breaks to be play time.

Sorry if it was mentioned earlier, but I havent noticed it.

It was said that I can decide between using the new and old version of the software, but after upgrnding I fail to find a way to switch to the old software, how do I do that pls?

@Alex no not on 6 max tables, it takes a really long time to get booted off those. I was talking about HU where you get kicked of in 30 secs, which is good.

But on the 6 max tables i think you should get booted off quicker too when sit out. Like 5 or 7 mins so you can atleast go to the toilet in between and the table blockers get kicked off for not sitting out like 20mins.

Go here: https://mpn.poker/prima-download-links/

The top links are the new clients, the ones below the old client.

Assuming you're using Windows, the old software is still installed on your computer. You can just launch it as usual.

In some cases, the icon / name for the new application is the same as the old one, which makes it hard to distinguish the two. This was a silly mistake on our part which unfortunately is difficult to correct now. It may help to rename the old or new shortcut, so that you can distinguish them from each other.

Thanks. We investigated the settings and found an error which we've corrected. Now, you can sit out for 5 minutes. If there are seats free at the table, you can sit out for longer. However if there are no seats available, we'll remove you from the table if you exceed 5 minutes. You can only sit out once you've contributed to a pot.

Thanks for solving long sit-out time issue. 5 mins is good.

Regarding new client - not sure if it was mentioned previously or maybe its even already implemented in new software: auto-healing timebank (if you sit at the table for longer time it recovers in some increments).

- The info Box should say how many are left and how many are paid. Displaying your own place without that information is not very helpful at all. I also don't think displaying how many rebuys you have made is that important but especially displaying amount of add-ons seems a bit pointless. Also an option to potentially show the next payout would be great

- An option in the lobby to filter by buy-in and please an option to filter out satellites. As it is right now you are missing out on games I would like to play but are drowned out by all the options, I would imagine it's the same for everyone else and especially someone who is not as familiar with the schedule.

- In the lobbies please display how long is left until registration is closing or at least make the amount of registration time easily listed.

Hopefully that didn't sound too harsh. I know it's a work in progress and I really think it's for the most part it's already quite an improvement over the old layout.
Also I shoved all-in in the rebuy period and briefly looked away, when I looked back I had the option to rebuy but the window was blocking for my stack so I couldn't see if I had ran out of chips or not. I had to rebuy to make sure not to bust but it turns out it was just the break coming up. So would be great if the rebuy box could be moved up a bit so it doesn't cover the players stack.

I am having an issue logging into the old software, I have been logging in for over a week now using the old software, but today I got an error " external system error, if problem persists, contact support". I tried several more times and uninstalled and reinstalled but to no avail.

I can't play on the new software, as it is the most terrible thing designed right now.

Sorry to say, but the new software is unbearable to play, right now.

you still have not fixed any issues brought up weeks ago.

-Graphics are not good enough when tiling

- What happened to customisation, betslider, waitlist etc

-Can't play 6 tables anymore, as the tables play much faster now

I hate to say it but you have turned this software into a blurry mess, things feel sluggish and the whole player experience is terrible imo.

I don't understand why you would change for the worst?

Trust me, you will kill of your own games, when all regs and semi regs are forced to start playing on that new software. Your game will dry up completely. Most your action comes from regs and semi regs, I'd be surprised if anybody sticks around if they can't use the old software anymore.

I'm not trying to be a dick, the player experience is truly terrible.

For Christ sake, you can't even tile the tables correctly, I mean!!! smh!!

The issue is now fixed, I am able to log back in using the old software.

But, please don't remove the option to use the old software, as it stands the new software is unplayable, the only thing that is a bonus are the avatars, they are cool, but what good are those if the overall experience is not good.

As a shortstacker I know I'll be gone, and so will most of the others (and we do seem to be around 20 - 30% of the regs in plo)

And this makes no sense at all. You're saying that regs leaves because the client is bad but only regs and semiregs stays? And the funniest part is that the playing experience is worst for regs atm. If a rec plays one or two tables he's doing just fine.

Learn to read bro! It makes sense. Not sure what you are reading.

Yes, most players will leave because the new software is unplayable (right now), so if the old software becomes unavailable then most players will leave.

What's funny about that? Regs make up most of their player base, there's only a handful of recreational players that play 1 or 2 tables. Most players play 4+ tables and they are regulars.

We need a good player experience to stay, there's many more options that offer the same if not better rewards!

I personally stay even though other sites offer slightly better rewards because I really like the software, the custom betslider, the rabbit card, the speed of the tables, and the overall lobby is clean and easy to use. (old client, not this current 1), I like it better than Party Poker and Ipoker, only Pokerstars does a better job imo.

Yeah many at NL too, not just SS but just people that grind everyday 4+ tables. If they start to leave, the site will literally go bust, you can't survive on the few recreationals that make their way over from slots or books.

What I don't understand though is why they are changing it to something that looks like Unibet?

I mean Unibet did a complete make over and left Microgaming, went independent, it makes sense for them to change, even though I don't like really like it. And lets be honest here, they changed it to help combat fish going broke, but lets be real here, there are hardly any fish on that site, just all regs for the most part.

So really making all these changes is just useless and all it really does it make for an unpleasant poker experience.

Unibet lost a portion of their players or should I say their player base lost players to play against when they went on their own. They felt like they needed to change it up, fine.

But Microgaming has a ton of tables running, the same amount when I was playing 3-4 years ago, nothings changed, we might actually have more tables running now.. Why the need to change it up? I understand we need to make things fairer for the new fish that bring new cash in but you already addressed this with HH's not showing and Hud's not working anymore.

From my experience this option only appears if you have less than max to rebuy, it only comes up on the add on period aswell so just move the message box and check you haven't actually busto. hope that makes sense

What games are you playing then? The games are filled if not pure fish then regfishes.

You do understand that the old client ain't going anywhere untill the new client is solid right? And I read what you posted and it made no sense whatsoever. And you don't need to answer me anymore. No need to derail the thread anymore about that.

Can't really say that because players played mpn not unibet. And after leaving the mpn unibet created their own pool from basically nothing.

No I didn't know that about the old client!

And again, just because you have a reading comprehension, does not mean what I wrote made no sense, it only made no sense to you!

This might shock you but there are other networks that offers plo allso. And I can live with playing only four tables with other fullstacks than six tables filled with shortstacks. The only players who actually suffers from this are the shortstackers who plays from every single skin in the network. Now you need to find a new home to do that.

@Alex Please add some table backgrounds besides the onces you guys already have or other theme's perhaps ?

And btw take a look at party poker. Their currency to bb option, they have this option when you click your stack it converts to bb and vice versa. Seems to me a super handy and easy option to have.

Im against table waitlist so dont add that crap.

Is there no option to have an active table pop up when it's your turn to act? It's a must IMO

Tried the software, here are my 2 cents:

- customizable bet slider is a must
- better hand replayer is a must
- auto engaging time bank would be nice

I've been facing this problem for like a week or so, when I try to sit down at the table, I get this message. I can sit at other tables meanwhile. Restarting poker client isn't helping. Anyone else getting this?

Why not show the timer on the tables (like break time for MTTs)?

Also why people can change alias if others can't track their stats (because can't use HUDs) and also players had an option to play on anonymous tables (to stay anonymous)?
It makes no sense, because (if you are not aware) poker is a game of information and you should change the way you play depending of the opponent and not all opponents are the same. By allowing players to change alias, you basically force players to play versus the whole player pool, not versus specific player.

hi guys!!

I agree 100%.

if people could change alias daily why HUDs are not allowed? noone can make a big sample size on anyone.

it is your choice if u didn t want regulars to use hud but then do not let anyone to change alias and make a nice note making system. i think it is fair to make notes on someone when i play against him and have that info next time when we meet.

and last but not least when you want to make a fair environment how it is possible to use a hud in mtts with the old client and not with the new client (cos of not having HHs)?!

i am thinking coming back to this network (haven t played here for ages) but i won't for sure while some guys can use hud and others can't. that's for sure.

if i was right someone mentioned the PartyPokers HHs on regular tables. that is also a good solution imo.
noone can make a big sample size on others but having the possibility to analyse hands and the whole game of themselves cos all the stats are relevant of hero!!
