How about a feature to join the waiting list for every (Insert Game/stakes) table. Instead of having to go through and click every table.

Also, would be nice to have a "Remove me from all waiting lists" button so those things don't popup anymore while you are playing 2879 tables.

I just noticed there was an update on Stars today. Are these changes listed anywhere? Every time I search for update release notes, I never find anything. Shouldn't PokerStars be making this available? Every other professional-grade piece of software I can think of has its release notes available online.

On the topic of joining tables and waiting lists...

I would like to see the ability to select multiple tables at a time by holding Ctrl or Shift, which would allow us to open or join the waiting list for multiple tables simultaneously.

EDIT: Also, when joining a waiting list, is the confirmation window (Join/Don't Join) really necessary? It just slows things down. I've always thought that confirmation windows like that were only for very serious decisions. Joining a waiting list doesn't really qualify as a decision serious enough to warrant one, in my opinion.

wat? how is it unethical?

OMG OMG OMG

ive e-mailed / complained about this MULTIPLE times and they always say its "against [their] policy" to discern that information.

so bizarre.

it's because a lot of the time it's going to be security stuff

They don't have to be specific about all the changes. I see "fixed several security issues" listed in release notes all the time.

That's ridiculous...

Another vote for color coding the lobby so I know what tables I'm on

No reason to vote on it...it's already been stated by a PokerStars guy that it will be implemented soon.

The general theme above is "the less time we waste wrestling with the UI, the more time we can spend playing poker"

also previously mentioned: filter option to not show a table I'm currently seated at. It is annoying to accidentally try to waitlist yourself for a table you are currently playing at.

I often miscount the number of players who are in the hand when multitabling. Please add bright yellow backed cards and an option for bigger card backs. Alternatively, you could have an option for some sort of highlighting on the player avatars who are still active in the hand e.g. a neon perimeter (that goes gray when they fold) around their avatar.

About the 8-game that will come: Please let the game-rotation not follow a pattern, like putting Stud, Stud8 and Razz right behind each other. That will attract players only eager to play these games and leaving thereafter. Same goes for NL and PLO after each other, which might attract a completely different crowd that tries to abuse the players that want to play all the games. That is already an issue in Horse, but would get far worse in this game.

So mixing them well and trying not to make streaks of 2 or 3 games too similar would help massively. Please reply whether the order is still up for debate or already fixed.

I see that they added tabs for the mixed games on the main software.

When will we see tables there? Before WCOOP?

badugi weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Are you planning to add 200bb tables ?

The text filter only works if the tournament has a string in the title. If there are a group of sngs with generic "Hold'em" names, then one can't filter by them. For example, there is no way (as far as I can tell) to isolate things like $20 and $30 27 player non-turbo NL Hold'em SNGs. You are always going to wind up also seeing $20, $30, and $50 18 player SNGs as welll as the $20 45 player SNGs.

For this reason, I think that there should also be a filter that allows one to select the min and max number of players OR every multi table tourney should have a descriptive title.

They actually are available in play money. However the structure of the games is just plainly inappropriate.

Mixed Hold'Em is played with blinds 10/20 whetever it is Limit or No-Limit (so with stakes of 20/40 in Limit) and same goes for Omaha hi-lo or 8-game (where it is even worse since PLO tends to make bigger pots that NL for the matter).

Just wadding through the ps lobby, it seems the average 6-max pot in NL on 1/2 is around 25$ where the average pot on 2/4 is slightly smaller (probably 18$ ish).
I guess 1/2 NL should be more or less equivalent to 4/8 Limit (maybe 3/6 but certainly not 2/4 ; I speak of swings not average level obv) and that same would go for Omaha hi-lo.
The 8-game should really be balanced as an average pot in 1/2 PLO is 30ish which can't compare to any 2/4 limit games.

Still very cool to have this games, thanks stars.

Bring back Pay Tru!

I have a question/request.

Why do my starstables if I cascade or stack them and have the popup when action is required option checked just stop popping up every 5minutes?
It's totally unplayable because I timeout on EVERY table and can't bring the table to the front. If I manually click on it it doesn't work either.

Is this a known problem or something on my side? (which is almost impossible)

I don't quite understand your problem, but if you email support@pokerstars.com, the technical team may be able to help you.

Its probably on your side. It happened to me for a while, and then replaced my computer (to have a separate poker computer, not because of that issue) and its properly changing focus now.

-Option to set default buy in amount in BB's.

-Waiting list update so that you can join all waiting list for certain limit. Combine this by reducing the amount of time you have to take a seat to take away from the drawback.

-Change seat option when a seat opens up at your table and you wanna move to that seat without leaving the table and re joining.

- Someone already mentioned not to minimize lobby everytime you join a table.
