I am posting in this thread on behalf of plo8 MTT players.

In my opinion this game is growing at present at at peak times no gurantee is ever missed (to my knowledge).

Sunday is the biggest MTT day of the week for most games with many special events running fr NLHE players. However the only non daily event for plo8 is the $215 NL weekly which starts quite late EU time.

Although I enjoy the weekly NL this really offers nothing to players who play small to medium buy ins.

It would be great to see a weekly $50 with a nice guarntee (perhaps5-6k) on a Sunday and additionally an extra $33 Freezeout or perhaps a $33 NL (as this mtt is never really playable for EU players).

I am sure that these mtts would fill up and would make Sunday a much more substantial day for plo8 Mtt players.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Hey Stefen could we please have a Hotkey option to bring up the replayer sometimes I play my games without TableNinja and Ive noticed that a Hotkey for this could save us multitablers some crucial time, thanks.

I don't understand why the Replayer by default does not play the last hand, after you have been moved to another table?

You have to select it in the list which takes time.

FTP prompts you twice when it is your turn (so two possibilities for the table to pop up); whereas PS only does it once which leads to more missed hands (for me). Could you also implement this, or is there already an option somewhere I can choose?

It would also be good to do this for the avatar-enable tables, though it's not as big a deal on those themes.

How it is now:



How it should be:

this is a very good idea!

i like it too, maybe make an option to do the same for people sitting out (not dealt in the hand), so u can always clearly see how many people get dealt a hand this round

It's very annoying and sometimes tilting + slowing down my other tables.
This has been reported since 2009. By me and a few others also. Multiple times has this erroneous client behavior been described in great detail (even technically). Still it hasn't been fixed.

I guess the only explanation left at this point is that Stars simply doesn't want multitable-stack-grinders to have a headache-less experience. Why?

Haven't read the thread so I have no idea if this has been suggested yet, apologies if this has been discussed before.

Is it maybe possible to see the buyin preferences of the players in the waiting list?
Now I see a good table I want to join but has several players in line, I have no idea what the average bb is when it is my turn to join.

If I am considering joining a table with a certain amount of players in line, and I see they all are going to buy in for the minimum, I won't even bother. But if I see all those players in line are going to buy in for the max I want to play as well.

This is also nice if I am playing at a table and I can see what kind of players are in the waitinglist (BB wise) so I know what is coming so I can make a decision to stay or leave.

negative one. I don't like this. Just make notes on the players and color code on what they buy in for. Why make the lobby more crowded????

^^ PokerStars are looking into it as they recently ran some tests and also identified the problem and its cause and said they will hopefully have it fixed in the next update.

Confirmed, although I heard within a month but same difference, they are working on it and close to a solution.

Hello 2+2,

Over the next few days we will be releasing another client update that will introduce some new features which will hopefully improve your experience at PokerStars. We are also continuing to add support for upcoming promotions, such as the recent milestone hands in France, Spain, and Italy, but I will not reveal more details for now. Here is an overview of what is immediately player-visible with this update:

Views for Ring Games Lobbies (Beta)

After adding few enhancements and polishing functionality during the Beta stage we are releasing the new views for the list of games in the ring game lobbies to all players. With next update you will see a new control in the ring game lobbies to change the “View” and you have three options:
  • List View (default) – This is the same view as today, i.e. one list with all tables that match your filter settings
  • Groups View – All tables of the same type are grouped together in one entry and there is a “Find Me A Seat” button. “Find Me A Seat” will look for an empty seat at a table of this type. If no seat is immediately available you will be given the option to continue searching for a seat – in this case the system will automatically add you to waiting lists and check for available seats until you either cancel the search or a seat is found. In either eventuality, you are automatically removed from any waiting lists where the system has added you. Next month we plan to integrate this with Table Starters, so that if one exists you will also be added to the Table Starter.

    We have also added a new “Observe” icon which when clicked will open a table of this type that a player can observe. Also, the number of tables now shows only tables which are dealing (for non-HU types) as opposed to also including empty or non-dealing tables.

    Here is a screen grab of the Groups view:


  • Combo View – You can see groups, and once you select a group you also see the specific tables within a group. Great for players who like to monitor multiple table types, but like to easily switch between them. Here is a screen grab:



Graphical Preview for Ring Games

After the update you will see a new toggle icon above the list of players on a table in the main lobby. You can then switch between today’s list and a new graphical view of the table. In the graphical view you will still see notes on opponents, but in addition you will also see sitting out players, as well as where the button is. You can also directly choose a specific seat to take from the lobby if one is available.


Progressive Knockout Tournaments (Beta)

We will be trialling a new type of a knockout tournament – working title is Progressive Knockouts. In this variant, when you eliminate a player you get a part of their bounty credited to your account, but another part goes towards you own bounty so you become more attractive to be eliminated!

We will initially deploy only few of these to make sure everything is running smoothly before we deploy these on a wider scale.

Ability to Change Order of Columns in Lobby

This update we are adding Drag & Drop functionality for the columns in the main lobby so you can arrange them just the way you want. Simply drag the header of any column and drop it where you want. You can also click the Column Settings gear icon just above the scroll bar to further configure your lobby.


Other updates:
  • ZOOM Tournaments – We have added support for more ZOOM tournament types (Timed, Bounty, and satellites) and will run another set of Beta tests after the clients are rolled out.
  • We have added a separator line between “Sit Here” and “Find this player” in the right-click menu on another player on the table. This will hopefully reduce mis-clicks in this area.
  • We are also working on an ability to observe ZOOM gameplay and will share more details about this later on.
  • This update we are also merging the “Find Seat Options” and “Table Starter Preferences” into one new “Auto-Seating Options (Ring Games)” that is found under then “Options” menu in the main lobby.

Note: The above changes would only take effect once your gaming client has been updated, which could happen at different times for different players. We are planning to update the Estonian client first today with Belgium and Denmark clients following tomorrow. .COM Windows client will most likely be updated on Thursday this week. Please ensure you are running PokerStarsUpdate.exe to get the update.

With the nova theme, after a SNG is ended it is no longer possible to go through the HHs in text format, only by using the hand replayer.
