color coded notes....how hard is this to do really? Change the N to a color or our choice at minimum. If the lobby notes are really that difficult

They're working on a better note system:

5. Filter the players with their stack sizes in the lobby
Agreed on all these, especially 5. I hate sitting down at a table with >40% players to flop only to find that it's entirely 20 BB stacks.

Make disconnected players from HU sngs "sit out" instead of just "disconnected". It seems as if your computer crashes you will timebank and then sit out where as disconnect you timebank and then get like 20 seconds every single hand - maybe not 20 seconds but something like this.

Just seems stupid that I have to wait for somebody who loses their connection but if their computer dies I can take their blinds all day.

Also on a side note it slows the game down and makes the blinds increase faster.

Requested this feature to support over a year ago. Alex, do you need a video of why this is so annoying? Cause I could provide one.

Guess another feature that could go along with this is to automatically close tables that you bust out of (trourney only), so that they do not take away the focus.

those of you asking for stacks and bets in bb and not maneys are doing it wrong.. dont make the math easier for your opponent... are you not capable of betting correctly otherwise?

If you are playing across multiple limits on many tables yes it can become confusing, and many times leads to accidental incorrect bet amounts(usually preflop). Not about math being easier. Also, players who need that to make the math easier probably aren't using the math/know the math anyway.

also, when hovering over the pot, it doesn't always show the potsize before the bet on a certain street. it'd be nice if there was always a "pot size before bet" number next to the chips in the middle like on FTP

THIS! Also set some kind of limit on how many empties they can sit at.

sLivAA currently sitting at 19 tables of 1/2 at stars. Tried 2 tabling him and he 3bets on both tables then sits out. Germans have found their new sunlounger bagging, at least they seem to have moved on from genocide.

FTP destroying you guys lately btw.

Stop new sngs from opening up over old ones for people who stack tables.

200bb tables for cash games.

Or even better imo, make a resetable counter. So it is easier to see when I have accomplished my goal for that session.

Can pokerstars please increase the font and size for the check box for "checking" "raise" etc... as i am multi tabling, and i am doing it with 15 tables tiled. The tables overlap but i dont mind that. However, the size of the "check" "raise" and "fold" boxes become quite small, and there is enough space to increase the size of that.

It would be nice to have the "Empty Seat" show in some bright color to be able to immediately recognize it. Too often I'm beat out because of a few seconds to find the open seat (in 10/9 player games more specifically but all games would be fine).

Dear PokerStars,

Please have the courtesy of announcing in advance server restarts. I live in Europe and I play husngs for a living. It has been too many days where I get ready for a new day of work, start grinding only to see after 1-2 hrs that sngs keep disappearing from the lobby and I have to wait for 3-4 hrs for the server restart. This ruins a lot of my days and I could do something better with my time if I knew that a restart is going to take place today. Even a simple webpage where it says 'today we are going to restart' or 'not going to restart' would be wonderful

Thanks,
L.

P.S.: please please please pretty please with lots of sugar & chocolate on top re-enable the rematch button, while it existed it was so useful against them fishies!

Play husngs pretty exclusively and it gets annoying getting ready to play and not being able to.

You can expect a regular scheduled restart on the last Wednesday of each month. Once the restart is confirmed (we know it isn't delayed for any reason) we announce it in the lobby.

Rematch should be back today, after the restart.

Thanks but what about non-regular restarts ? Lately (i.e. past few months) I feel there has been more like one per week, not per month which gets kind of annoying ...

Maybe you could run husngs up (at least turbos) until 1 hr before restart ? Would really help us grinders a lot, right now stopping them 3 hrs before restart seems like wasted time

I appreciate that there have been a couple of unscheduled restarts over the last couple of months. We're not happy with that situation either, believe me. Unfortunately though, there's no way to predict when an emergency restart will be required.

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.

Also GBD and EUR tables costs more rake to players and make more profits to PokerStars. Numbers are the same ($3, €3, £3 etc) but if you pay in month $1000 rake, €1000 rake or €1000 raket at 1000NL, then player should choose dollar table.

Just make different currencies for cashier, like you can keep your money in Euros, Dollars, Pounds etc.

Please do not make assumptions like this.

The fact is we haven't even decided on a rake schedule yet, but it's very unlikely that we will charge more rake to play in EUR games than in USD.
