3) How about just showing our cash balance on the lobby page?

4) Bigger note/chat window, or detachable with sizing. Since Badugi's been added, the scroll is a killer and takes it off screen during the drawing, not to mention when PS throws a tournament announcement into the middle, we lose all the information on draws instantly.

5) Color coding in the lobby for tables we are already "waiting" for, or already sitting in. Red, we are waiting, green, we are in.

6) And more time zones, soon please.

7) Selfishly, a break on the SNG's fees, 10% is a far cry from your 5% cash rake.

8) An indicator when we have chat off, or a player blocked. I still need the chat box for other info, but would like players to know when they can't reach me.

9) Finally, more fish so I can do better when I'm playing poorly
In addition, I'd like to see more filters as has been mentioned by quite a few players.

If you paid more attention, and your primary response of intelligence is "stfu", you would have noticed one of the 30+ responses I have submitted to this thread, including the one above around two months ago, none of which have been implemented except the time zone additions. But, most of which have been since in high demand by many players. Grow up and respond with some maturity or... how is it you put it?

You being a self-proclaimed "rake generator" does not alone make the other 200,000 players shark bait. Remember, without shark bait, the shark don't have anything to eat. We all have something to contribute and hopefully Alex passes some or most of this along. IMHO, showing a list of 12-24 players, albeit generating substantial rake, is not going to get it done.

For Gods sake,

Instead of having the Torunament number and all those junk above the table write the buy in of the toruney,

Specifically in SNGs number of players, like 11/180 or 55/45 and ....

Those torunament number don't have any information

just wanna say that i think that ALL of these improvements are VERY important. If you read them carefully you'll realize that many of them will only help stars in the end by allowing us to play more volume or buy more (see add on request, and the filters which will help us load games faster)

No one claimed everyone else was shark bait, we all contribute an obscenely amount of rake to the site though and all of these updates would allow stars to make more money so it is in their best interest to implement them. This is our livelihood so we care greatly about getting these updates done. If that includes continually bumping the thread till we can get a response that is what we will do. If you don't like it then skip over it, I don't see why you would need to be continually hitting F5 over and over again in a thread like this that you yourself claims will not expediate the process. If what you think is best is to ask once and pray, then god bless you I hope that works out for you. We all feel though that the best way to get our point across is to appeal to stars obviously greedy and logical side. Getting these updates will allow them to make more money as well as for us to make more money. Is this response mature enough for you? I hope so because I really have no interest in arguing with you over this as all its going to do is derail this thread. And no offense but ya right now its 12-14 people which is substantially more than you and the two other guys that agreed with you. Not only that but there will be many more people agreeing with us over the next couple of days so if it really bothers you that much I'd just stay away from the thread for now. Just as a casino caters to all its players it gives special attention to the high rollers who contributed a massively larger amount of money to the casino than the lower stakes players. All are necessary but I don't feel as though we are out of line in anyway for wanting to get this done as soon as possible. /Rant

Why not offer the option of locking most of your bankroll up so you can't access it without 3 days notice (every time you log in/through your email you'll be notified that you've applied for access). Just an extra security option against losing your money.
This is an excellent idea, please look into this. A lot of people do this already by using neteller or cashing out all but some % of their roll, knowing they can cash back in. Would be excellent to have the option to have some money you currently can not touch without 3 days notice.

I think having it stay up on the screen with 5 seconds or 3 seconds when expired would be ideal.


Rest of that SnG crap tl;dr


Oh and whoever said bet pot - don't do that, it makes fish play better on accident.

People using huds --> people playing more hands per hour --> people paying more rake.

So I really doubt PS will do something against huds.

I raise my 2 hands against HUD's. It's game of the skill not game of the programs. If you want info, then observe tables, make notes etc.

I think it's the skill if you import hands into your tracker and then search neccesary info on your opponent and make notes - it take some time and u have to analyze your opponents. But if HUD displays same information, then it's not skill anymore.

And I doubt that people stop playing 24 tables if stars disallow HUD. Only what changes it stat games going more juicier because 24 tabling regs winrates decrease and more money to good players. Also fishes survive longer.

Michael,

I have a suggestion. I think pokerstars should also ban pokertracker and huds. That is a form of cheating because there is no way a human can calculate so many formulas, especially while multi tabling 24 tables.
[PokerStars] Software Improvement Thread Quote

I use the stars classic no images theme to allow more room for HUD stats. The only thing I don't like is that the actions are displayed over each players stack size. It takes a few seconds for the action text to disappear so I can see the villains stack size. When 24 tabling this can cause unnecessary delays.

I think it would be nice to have a $10.70 turbo STT. The step up from 6 to 15 is probably a bit discouraging for the fish, and the 16s are getting very reg infested imo.

And please, kylmac85, your ideas are good, but Alex is only going to read them once and bumping them all the time is just annoying. Maybe you're aiming for douche though, dunno.

Banning tracker is pointless imo and quite uncontrollable. But banning HUD: +1000

This is all true and if Stars was more rational on this issue, it would ban HUDs. It's a gross, huge advantage to be able to analyse someone's play on the fly.

but anyone can use it, therefore the playing field is still even. Besides, it's not the stats, it's how YOU interpret those stats and make a decision based on your skillful interpretation of those stats.

That's true but still HUD stats decreasing skill part in poker dramatically. Like there is new player, we have played only 400 hands. Usually, if I play lots of tables 9+, then I don't know how frequently he folds to cbet or big blinds because I am quite bad and unobervant player. But now HUD give me this information and bad-unobservant player turns to good-observant player!
