These are reasons people would like that option though. I'm not saying it's something I would want necessarily either but surely you can see why some people would like the option to change their name.

Just putting "Did you read my post?" does not count as a retort or counter-arguement of any kind.

I'm gonna presume you're smart enough to not be confused by the introduction of a secondary currency, so what's the issue? Surely you'd be overwhelmed by an influx of European fish?

Color code tables in the lobby to show if I have to return to that table with more than the minimum buyin (because I left within 30 minutes with more). Make shortstacking a little easier.

Alex,

Has any consideration been discussed for an option (maybe placed under Advanced Multi-table Options) that allows players to select whether or not to have the Time Bank activated automatically when ever it appears or is needed?

Agree, there seems to be no discernable pattern to when it comes on automatically one time, and not the next at the same table. Is there a set pattern it is supposed to be, Alex?

The ability to color-code tables where you left with more than your usual buyin is too fringy of a feature. Should you make it more than the max? I don't care if I left a table with 250BBs recently, I clicked back on it because the action looks good.

According to the site it is supposed to be automatic whenever you have $$ invested in the pot, and presumably is always manual when you do not. Not sure if having posted a blind counts, but probably.

I'm +1 for fixing the issue of font size on player stacks. I do not like overlap, so it's what's keeping me from playing more tables at once. This could be put into our hands by making the theme configuration files text-based instead of encoded. I was able to make the chat background turn peach, but I am unable to figure out where/if font information is in the theme configs.

I appreciate the idea to acquire more real money players, but offering tables in several currencies will confuse the casual player. They will avoid tables that do not match their home currency.

I remember the first time playing online, it was at an ongame skin (bwin) I think. They offered GBP, Turkish Lira and several others. I never played on them, cause I was afraid to lose money with the conversion.

Keep it as simple as possible!


The casual player should not be confronted with a lobby that shows 5 currencies and looks like a stock trader software interface.

Even though Stars is big, beside of that I think that the games will mix up better, when Stars only offers 1 currency. The casual customer sees more unknown opponents, and less regs (if some regs start to multitable in only one currency), and is less likely annoyed by the same sharks taking his money.

The idea to provide several (two) currency accounts in the cashier is a good idea though. Let the customer cash/ cash out in in their home currency. Then they don't have to deal with the variance of exchange rates.

If they join a table, a pop up should say: "The conversion rate for buying USD chips to play will be exactly the same when you leave the table, no matter how long you play. [ ] Click here if you don't want to see this message again."

Again, please do NOT introduce tables with currencies other than USD.
+1

Exactly. People that have a hard time to understand a simple post, would love to see the name change option for obvious reasons.

If this is indeed the case, then I'll modify my request to:

Have the option to activate the time bank automactically preflop, whether or not any of your money is in the pot.

Be more specific as to why people are sitting out.

I don't like to join a table where people are sitting out. Most likely, they are not waiting for the big blind and act as a vacant seat.

However, if they were waiting for the BB - and I could see that - I would stay. Instead of the words "sitting out" the words "waiting for BB" can be shown.

Here are my suggestions for features/improvements to the PokerStars client. I understand some of the below may already have been suggested previously but I didn't read the whole thread. I apologize for any repeats in advance.

1. Do not let newly launched tables take focus away from existing opened ones. This behavior is very annoying when I'm multi-tabling because I have to cycle back to the table I was playing on.

2. Auto/realtime refresh for the cashier page. Right now, the cashier page remains static after it is launched. I have to open and relaunch it each time to see changes to my bankroll.

3. A "resize all like this" option for the tables. Let's say I manually resized one table just the way I like it. Now, I want all subsequent tables to be exactly the same size. This is where the "resize all like this" option would be handy.

4. Subsequent to the above, a "reset all to default size" option would be good, too.

5. A "sit out all" along with a "I'm back all" option when there are multiple tables opened.

Make another non-sensical post without providing (yet again) any counter-arguement or attempt to disprove my point and in fact, trolling me!

It's ironic and witty at the same time!

Well done.

Alex,

First off all i wanna thank you and your team for listenng to the players and improving the (imo the best) software constntly.

But you know the best can always get better (just watch Bolt in Berlin). So i have some suggestions which imo would improve your software

1. Make an auto sit in all tables option

2. Make an auto sit out next BB option

3. Make a todays VPP in the cashier (not necessary but would be a nice gimmick)

4. Color coded notes in the lobby

5. Filter the players with their stack sizes in the lobby


P.S. Best of luck to all your upcoming carrer with ps.it
