guess he's talking about the whip that made despotism prosper so nicely

please add a sit out next BB on all tables button
please show a button for zero time bank

Can't believe I am responding to this, but basically, anything that makes your opponent play worse is better for you. Kind of like alcohol in a casino - it would be insane to petition the casino to not allow drinking. (Mike Caro had the same feeling about smoking, although of course smoking has been recognized as a major public health hazard since the days when he played.)

It's kind of like with the whole idea of a HUD - wouldn't it be pretty insane if you got an e-mail from Poker Stars tomorrow saying... "hey listen up - we just added default stats tracking to ALL games, so now YOU KNOW when they're bluffing and when they're not; next week, we'll be adding auto-instant-replay, where you get to see your opponent's mucked hole cards when the hand's over, no matter what!"

Now I guess for Mac users and for those who aren't used to using third party apps but who do play a lot, the popup issue can be a major hindrance. I am just saying, there is at least partial logic to some of the choices Stars made in their software design choices.

I do agree with Dog though that the ini files should be made more open.

could a pokerstars rep please 10 table sngs with no auxilary programs click on someones notes and try to type the sentence

"i dont see why everyone is complaining about focus stealing being a problem with our software"

Swap seat by right click "sit here". how come this hasn't been done in so long?

can't wait for PS starts shipping out in ASCII mode. that'll really kick off the next poker boom.

All of these suggestions are excellent, it would be nice if someone at Stars paid attention to this post...

The high stakes would be like musical chairs. Plus fish would start paying attention to position.

1 seat move per 30 min or hour per table. /end musical chairs

Like EVERYone on this forum, I have been requesting "sit out next BB" on all tables, not just fast, where even there it is "sit out next blind".

This morning, for some strange reason, when I clicked onto 2+2 it did not have me logged in and it put me on a page in this thread back in 2008. I did not notice at first because one of the first posts was "requesting a 'sit out next bb"... Without going through all this monster thread, it's obvious we've all been requesting a simple fix and for over TWO years. When everyone wants a simple feature that is basically already running on some of the tables, I don't see why we are being ignored. We may be but a few, but we are the vocal group and represent what many players need.

PLEASE Pokerstars, listen to us and fix the simple requests and a tad less worry about graphics.

I agree. That's why I wrote it, and sent an edited less vulgar version to Stars. Lol.

There is no logic at all! Stars doesn't need it's software to make others play bad, and it's ridiculous to think so. Secondly, I highly doubt this **** makes my opponents play worse. How many fish do you think are mass tabling turbo SnGs, spewing away $100s an hour? Like, none. SO they don't care about clicking a popup for their one or two tables. Newsflash by the way, a lot of fish don't even know you CAN multitable. And it doesn't make me play worse, it just frustrates me to no ****ing end, so I highly doubt it is affecting the play of other regulars, most of whom have TN anyway.

Stars, which one of your tournament genius's set up the buy in's for the WSOP sattelites? People are sitting around with steps tickets that are no good for anything relating to the WSOP Main event packages.

Nice thinking!

Edit: And another thing, Why does the 10K fpp entry have to be a silver star or better? Anyone one who has 10K fpp's should be allowed to enter.

stars is stuck in an infinite loop trying to come up with a fix for this:

Fix the focus-stealing and I'll pay you 30% more rake/hour.

I think we're in agreement. Better to ensure the fish get their waiting list served properly (they probably get in one list, then go off and web surf - now we wouldn't want them MISSING the popup to join the game, would we), and then for us advanced, truly multi-tabling players, to use TN.

But I agree, if Stars could add some hidden, advanced (or ini file) option to make the popups non-modal, that would make everyone happy. I've been thinking about it more and there's no reason such an option couldn't be added and not still have the software cater to everyone. It would be like the option to force table to front (or not) under Advanced Multi-Table Options.

Fix the goddamn focus stealing, I want to bunch babies everytime I play on Stars.

Why is the "stand up" option like FTP has not implemented yet?



It should be really easy and tables closing when I leave them can be so tilting at times. Unless I'm missing something, this seems like a trivial addition with no downside.

Does anybody know how to force the client to save the notes without exiting the program? I've had a couple of hard crashes while playing long sessions lately only to reboot and find that EVERY NOTE I'VE TAKEN for that session gone. My understanding is the notes aren't written to the XML file until PokerStars is closed. There has to be a workaround for that, please for the love of GOD!

no workaround.

it is standard in software development to save any user setting right away. this minimizes the chance of loosing data in case of crashes or power outages. it's a design flaw that needs to be fixed by stars if handled otherwise.

Is there any way that I can get old tournament summaries from Stars?

I have emailed them about this and received the hand histories but my understanding is that the summary of winnings/finish was not included in the hh's until very recently.

Hi,



1) Reduce the rake to a flat 5% across all games at the Micro limits

2) Introduce Heads Up cash games at Micro limits


3) Add in two new Micro limits for FPP single/multi table satellites for the STEPS program. IE. Introduce a) 1-5fpp buy in and b) 10-50fpp buy in level before the STEPS 1 level.

4) Stop raking split pots. It isn't done at my local casino.

5) Provide information and FAQ pages for setting up stuff like DNSSEC root certificates for your software.

6) Provide space on your site where REGULAR established customers can log in and download patches with documentation from a secure internal source.

7) Don't include split pots in won statistics.

cheers,

I wish you could make the note taking icon easier to see.
When you run a hud, the stat box for each player covers up the little N box that says you have a note on a player.

Its very hard to tell if I have notes on a player without moving around the stat boxes on the hud.

This is a real pain in the azz when you are playing more then 4 tables.

It would be so simple to put the little N on the top and the bottom of the avatar. This way you will see the N no matter for you have your stat box on your hud placed.

whats new today?
