plz, plz, plz make an option to show stacks, bets and pot sizes in big blinds instead of dollar amounts. that would awesome.

also, fix it so that if I leave a hand before it finishes, I still get the VPPs and the client still saves the HH to my computer. really annoying to have to wait another 1/2 a hand just so I don't get ripped off on those two things.

This problem is new after I had PS update. Restarting, reinstalling did not solved it. **** annoying and tilting that the folders, programs etc. remain on the taskbar permanently and dont want to popup nor the tables ofc. Sometimes if I am clicking several times on them, I can open them..

I am concerned that this sort of move is likely to help fish think better about the game than any help it can give people who ask for it in terms of convenience.

I also think it's a matter of principle. The game is played the way it's played. Why reveal it's underlying structure? The point is to understand it yourself.

I see your concern, but as a window in the options drop-down menu, I don't think it'd be out there enough to help any fish, and it would be a huge convenience for multi-tablers or anyone who plays multiple limits

also, I think it's more likely to confuse fish than suddenly enlighten them. Instead of looking at 8bb and thinking in terms of units, I imagine their thought would be more, "8bb? but how many DOLLARS is that!?"

Would just like it to be an option buried in the lobby somewhere. Fish don't bother even looking at that. Default will remain in $.

if you mean stats will not move at all then yes. for anyone still wondering what's going on and how to fix, Stars' update changed my HH folder location back to the program files > stars folder.

depends what level of fish you are playing, i guess.

i actually dislike the idea a bit more than i like it. obv level of abstraction it gives is nice. but scope is somewhat limited. if there was another reason except "is friendly to math brain cells" ..maybe.

I don't understand how people could be against the bb instead of cash idea. It would obviously only be an option and not the default. Fish wont even bother trying it and if they do they wouldnt understand what this is good for.

Stars would benefit from it as a lot of players including myself would add tables from other limits. The only reason I don't mix tables now is that I find it distracting to have different blinds and betsizes.

I would like a response from Stars if they even consider it. Would be nice to know

1. is the scope of the feature the total pool of users or a subgroup therein
2. does the feature have enough positive effects to justify potential negative effects
3. weight
4. ???
5. profit!

Can we get an option to scroll the bet slider with the mouse wheel by BB? I just moved to stars from FTP and having to click on the bet slider all the time is killing my forearm.


I know someone is gonna mention the bet pot script but its not working for me and Id rather have the software part of the client.

should do this doesnt it?

maybe change "highlight bet amount"??


if not yes this would be nice (usually using tn which does it, but i thought the client did it itself)

POKERSTARS "stack" /ctrl+8 command............

is it supposed to open new tables into the stack it creates?


do i have a setting mischecked somewhere so it doesnt do this?




does the client respond to me moving deep/interesting tables out of the stack as me telling it i no longer want to stack new tables?


^^ if its this please change it!!!!!

id also like additional changes to the protocall for opening/positioning new tables kind of related to this


specifying the dimensions pokerstars is allowed to tile tables within would be one ive already addressed earlier itt (for multiple monitor users who only want tables on specific monitors)



offering me controll over where tables are added to a cascade (top or bottom)




offering me the option to specify the position and size all new tables open when not using a custom layout (instead of the client opening new tables in the 4 corners of my monitor alternating/building 4 stacks [the way stacks hould be filled in] at set dimension that i have no controll over which is the current default)





offering me controll over the order tables position themselves in a custom layout instead of just top>down; l>r (for instance if i have 4 positions in my layout and a 2 table stack in each one of those positions it fills in the top left corner 2 tbles first and then the 2nd slot in the top row then the bottom left, then bottom right; instead of putting one table in each slot, then begginning back at the top)

it would be nice if the layout let me specify that i want tables opened in the order:


1,5|2,6
3,7|4,8

instead of:

1,2|3,4
5,6|7,8

It works on FTP, pretty sure Stars doesnt have this option. If it does that would be awesome.

the above layout is a prime example of whats wrong


it specifies the order and positioning of 16 tables as follows:

1,5,9,13 | 2,6,10,14
-------------------------
3,7,11,15 | 4,8,12,16

and should organize them as:
Quote:
black | sienna
------------------
green | blue
but the protocol of the client (uppermost, leftmost positions are filled first) leads to the tables opening and positioning as per below:

1,2,3,4 | 5,6,7,8
-------------------------------
9,10,11,12 | 13,14,15,16


if i wanted tables to open like that i would have arranged my layout like below

4x4=209,0,960,540 209,0,960,540 209,0,960,540 209,0,960,540 960,0,1711,540 960,0,1711,540 960,0,1711,540 960,0,1711,540 209,540,960,1080 209,540,960,1080 209,540,960,1080 209,540,960,1080 960,540,1711,1080 960,540,1711,1080 960,540,1711,1080 960,540,1711,1080
same as above but with color coding by position onscreenvvv

Same here, on Vista, scroll all the time. Maybe it is an issue with the programming on his mouse. I know I've changed one or two of the clickers for specific needs.
