I'm sure it was said before...but please add an option to remove yourself from all the waiting lists your on.
Once I hit 24 tables, I don't want any more pop ups, it would be way easier this way.
Not really uber important but I think it would be a good addition for us multitabling people

How is this not a 20 minute change? (5 for the SW engineer to add a few more card back bitmaps, 15 minutes for the test group to retest in the next release/test cycle).

Also, how about an option for bigger card backs? I hate it when I'm multitabling, make a play because I think I'm heads up and then notice there is another player still in the hand.

I for one would encourage Stars to implement other currencies other than $.

This is for several reasons,

1. I am from the UK and when I deposit say £200, I know how much £200 is and what levels I can comfortably play. Although it sounds daft, sometimes it can be confusing and you can think you have more/less money than you have.

2. It may shock alot of Americans but there ARE people of other nationalites out there. It would be very interesting to see the %'s of players nationalites on Stars at peak times. I would not like to hazard a guess but I'd imagine that European players eqaute to a large part of the traffic.

3. It would infact attract more players to the site. Alot of UK based players favour sites such as Ladbrokes as they allow you to play in Euros. It is peace of mind for the player and traffic would increase if Stars offered multi cyurrency tables

I would think foreign currency risk issues far outweigh the "I don't know how much money 5000 lira is". I.e. you deposit £200 win 5 USD and then when you withdraw all your money you only get £195 because the dollar has fallen against the pound over the past month.

Ideally, PokerStars would keep your money in local currency until you sit at a table. At that point PokerStars converts to the table's currency at a particular rate with the promise to use the same conversion rate back to local currency when you get up from the table. This way PokerStars assumes all currency risk -- you never end up losing because you won at the table but the table currency fell 3% against your local currency.

Naturally PokerStars might place a limit on how long you could sit at foreign currency tables, otherwise folks might find a way to game the exchange system.

I can now opt-out from the tournament tracking sites, but I am not allowed to opt-out from PTR. I think this site is terrible for the games, and as much as I love Stars I would prefer to move my play to an untracked site. Right now, all your competitors have other deficiencies that make it unfeasible for me to switch, but that won't be true forever.

Other than this issue, I do think you guys do a great job, and I know this is probably out of your control. But if you can, let people at Stars know that this is important to their high-volume players.

NO!! because say you have a winning sess of 100$ playing nl100 earlier in 2009 you'll get around 80€. Now that $ has go down again you'll only get 70€ on your winnings. That's already a more than 10% loss just because of €/$ fluctuation.

So i would love to see games in other currencies as I believe all foreigners SSNL and MSNL will do. Just because the pool is so big here it wont hurt any game. It may hurts HSNL because of the fewer action but if you can even choose to play in whatever currency you want at the same time, it should be the same as before and it's all right.

+1000 on implemant other currency (€/£) with the same rake as $

There will be more significant changes in the release after WCOOP.



That 'flashing' is part of Windows, I'm afraid, and we can't change it.

This is the most important software improvement Stars should make imo.
Make observing cashgames impossible if thats what it takes !!!!

i really hope this doesn't happen because it would be such a hassle to convert my stars roll to euros / francs / baguettes or whatever else french players will use as currency.

Im just getting back to seriously playing at Stars again and I really cant believe there there isnt an "unjoin all waiting lists" option. Is it there and Im just not seeing it? If not please make this ASAP, its really annoying to be multitabling and constantly getting popups on the tables when trying to do bet sizing, ect.

Alex,

Anything that can be done about alt tab (while taking a note and another table pops) because after alt tab we have to reclick inside the note box. It currently focuses on the name box instead of the note box, so you cant really continue typing.

Thanks,
