I can´t send you a PM, because my forum account is new.
I have just changed my alias and will just post it here:

Thank you for your help.

I also have another question/suggestion:
Do you have any plans of adding a new gametype like Shortdeck Hold´em or 5-Card PLO? It would be fun to be able to play something else than NL and PLO at MPN.

Something like Blaze PLO would be interesting as well. I don´t think that it would impact the existing PLO traffic too much.

Maybe other MPN users share a similar interest in new gametypes.

Blaze PLO would be awesome!

We've got to the bottom of this - it was an error on the poker room side which they will need to fix. They'll be in touch soon and you will get your money back.

We do have some new game types on our backlog, yes. I'll share more information nearer the time of release.

+ 1 for short deck holdem. That game is the nuts! Should overtake NLH in the future imo!

thanks, i had to do same with Betsafe

Please no short deck foolishness, just a fad, crap game. Bigger issues to work on first.

+1

I agree, there is so much to do till short deck.

Hi

Is it possible to use hud at all on MG on regular and anonymous tables?

Thanks

Hi guys,

We're trialling a change at the 5c/10c level today - all 9-handed tables have been changed to 8-handed.

If the trial is successful, all 9-handed tables at all stakes will be changed to 8-handed. Obviously if the trial fails, then we will revert back to 9-handed.

We stopped offering 9-handed tournaments years ago, because players overwhelmingly preferred 8-handed. We're experimenting to see if the same is true in cash games.

Opinions welcome!

Alex

8 handed is a lot better than 9 handed thats for sure!

This is not a malware !

Why not make your program open source? You won’t make any money selling it, not really.

Hi Alex,

I heard from multiple players now that some are restricted to buy-in 100bb solely while others are able to buy-in 30bb for example. What's the policy on this matter? Is it different per Microgaming skin or does it have to do with the old and new clients? Can you elaborate please? Thank you!

In the Classic client, it is possible to choose your buyin. At most tables the range is 30-100BB. To do this, switch to the list view and join a table from there.

In the Modern client (and in the default Grouped lobby in the classic client) it is only possible to buy in for 100BB, unless there is less in your account, in which case the client buys you in for whatever you have left.

Open source is not by definition equal to making it free though.

What I'm referring to, is that if party offers an environment with no HUDs (just like you), but they will let a player make permanent notes, it's a no-brainer which company to choose. I just don't understand how you choose to neglect that poker is a game where you use either written or mental notes. It is such a MASSIVE part of the game.

Good point, although with such a simple program I suspect there is not much practical difference.

If you ban HUDs but have permanent notes / no alias changes, wouldn't you just end up with third-party software that populated player notes with HUD statistics?

I get the analogy to live poker, but to continue it - if your opponent drastically changed their appearance (or was able to disguise it somehow), wouldn't you lose your 'mental notes' on them? Even if they didn't change their appearance, wouldn't you probably forget after a while?

C'mon Alex, really? That's your argument? Beyond weak and outright ridiculous.

Continue catering to the minority that hates Hand Histories(not even talking about HUDs, although that too) and stay a tiny site forever. Or do you prefer that so you can do whatever you like in your anonymous/uncrackable environment?

Any eta on a tournament buy-in filter?

No, the argument is much more complex - I was just responding to the specific points raised in 'MrTurhapuro's post.

This will likely be in v42 along with some other tournament improvements.

C'mon Alex, really? Is this your response? Beyond weak and outright ridiculous.

Its really good that huds, collecting hh and other software is not being allowed. Im getting really sick of you people who complains about the banning of those types of software. Its better for the overall game not to have it gives the opponent some better odds to win. Look at the fooking mpn traffic right now. I have been playing here for years and i have never seen the recreational players being so outnumbered before. Learn to play some fookin poker mate instead of relying on software you semi cheater

People react to having downloadable HHs emotionally rather that rationally. If done correctly, like download after 24hrs without player names, there is absolutely no way to turn that into a HUD or track other player's stats. All it allows for is tracking your own game. Yet some people have this primal fear of them.

Look at the MPN traffic right now and compare it to stars or party. That should give you a clue that you're in a minority by a great margin and that most poker population prefers trackable games.

Of course recs are outnumbered, it's 2019. Banning trackers did not change that. The fact that recs are outnumbered on MPN proofs that banning trackers is not an effective strategy. All it allows for is a compromised game integrity, by other players but also the house. Like running house bots that Alex alluded to in one of his interviews.

The real strategy for improving the echo system is lowering the rake. Rake is your real enemy, not my HUD mate

I i did not only mention hand histories, i mentioned that people that who complains that huds for example are not allowed annoys me.

There is no fear at all on my part. I just want to revert to the old online poker days where there were hardly any software that would tell you what to do in certain spots, calculating pot odds, solvers and so on. There were a more even playing field, only difference would be skills.


I do not think that just because the games are tracked on other sites such as stars or party, that the traffic are better there. Its about the brand and mostly marketing and bringing in new players. A lot of players are still playing at stars even though they despise the rake.

Also the only ones who mostly cares are us regs, not the recs. They dont care to much as they dont play as much as we do. So lowering the rake would obv make more regs play at mpn but these days its a big gamble.
