E.g. I love to buyin at the lowest possible amount, usually this is 20 BB and I have the option clicked "Remember my buyin amount". If then a 50 BB table pops up, I sit down and click ok in the buyin window. But then the red text appears, that my buyin amount is too small. Then I have to find out the correct lowest amount, write it into the buyin area and then click ok. So much hassle. And what is more, the next table that opens has remembered this amount of 50 BB, because of the option "Remember my buyin amount". So at the next table I have to put in the buyin amount again.
(Even with deactivating this option at the 50 BB table I have to enter it.)

Please make a small change in the buyin window: If the stored buyin amount is less than the minimum buyin at the table, then set as buyin the minimum amount and write in red letters that it was changed. And also don't remember this new amount at the next table.
Yay ratholer!

I clicked on a $27 sng lobby and I got this message where the players and chip counts are:

Additional tournament information is available to the tournament participants only.

I didn't see this on other sng levels, why just $27?

Please fix the bug, that at Cashtables the FPP are not properly awarded if leaving early in a hand.

From the PS website:
Quote:
Important Note: In cash ring games, FPPs are credited at the end of a hand. So if you leave a table before the hand is completed, you may not receive the FPP (or VIP bonus FPP credits) for that hand. To ensure that you are properly credited, please ‘Sit Out’ until the start of the next hand, and then leave the table.
When multitabling and I want to leave a table I first have to sit out, then come back later to this table for closing when one of the next hands is played. This is very unconvenient.
Also somtimes at the end of a session, when I leave for my toilet break, then I have to sit out and then leave my computer for some time and the place is allocated until I come back for closing the table. This is not nice for the other players, but with the bug I can't help it.

Since many players first sit out and finally leave when they are supposed to post the BB, usually when I sit down at a new table, I have to wait a full round until I can start playing on the BB. The exception is, when nobody is sitting out at the table, then I post the come-in BB at the CO.

So this bug is costing my time and is costing PS money, because I am able to play less hands.

Agreed.

Not only for the reasons Gan6alf said, but also because this policy causes table to die more often. I'd like to leave immediately as soon as i fold my hand UTG, that way another player can take that seat in turn for the Big Blind. Otherwise, that new player coming in-between what is now the Big and Small Blinds, will often wait for a full rotation. Another early position players seeing this, may decide that is a good time to go. This creates a vicious cycle making it more likely that people will want to leave, resulting in table death.

This can be improved merely by giving people credit for the FPPs/VPPs after folding, even if they've left the table. Out of courtesy, i'll often still leave early if the pot seems unlikely to earn 2 VPPs.

I suspect PokerStars loses more money because of this policy than they'd lose from the extra FPPs/VPPs they give out.

I think this would be very unfair.
The time at which the two table becomes one table is unknown so anyone can be the UTG player at the time final table is reach and the redraw occurs. Therefore every player has equal chance to be the UTG player when the redraw occurs. The point i was trying to make is the players that are staying put has been playing in that position relative to the other players at the table for some time. They have a better read on each other and how they play relative to those positions. Therefore giving them an advantage over the new players. The final table is where all the big money is made, no one play should have an advantage over another player besides their skills/chips. I believe the final table redraws are done in all of the wsop events and other live events.

Isn't New Zealand pretty much the same thing?
[PokerStars] Software Improvement Thread Quote

Australia has at least three timezones of it's own which are completely distinct from New Zealand. Weirdly, one of these is a half-hour offset, and the rules for DST vary quite a lot also. Australia also uses some of the same names for their zones as the US does.

That's basically why it's taken so long to add Australian time to the client, but it's coming. I hope to see it in a few weeks.

The next couple of releases are looking very exciting. We've focused a lot on stability and scalability recently, so not much of that has been immediately visible to players. That should change, and there are some very high-profile new features on the way.

+1

If noobs want to buy in at 20bb and play against each other that is fine but give us folks who want to play deeper at 25NL this option.

If someone is shortstacking 25nl, they have no clue.

They are either a fish, or way too ****ing tight.

You already know how to beat the former.

You should know how to beat the latter.

Please please add high stakes Headsup tables. Players already play heads up on your website, even new players, and people break it even when they are politely asked to leave. It's just ridiculous.

Please make a filter for ONLY 50bb tables. I hate playing with 20-30 bb players on plo tables. Its just does not mesh well with the game like it does with nl.
