I think alot of people in this thread are pinching themselves right now as they can't believe they're finally seeing this happen.

I was sure I was dreaming. Then when they said they were adding "remove from all waitlists", it became a nightmare...then to finish it off, sit in next BB when I want to come back... please tell me this is not one of those... "coming soon" things and that by the end of the week means THIS week, not next year..

Avg stack column should be moved all the way to the right to after the H/hr. I've been conditioned for years to look at the plrs/flop % right next to the avg pot, and now I'm confusing the two numbers. Plrs/flop is also the more important stat IMHO.

We will have a new client update over the next few days which will introduce many exciting and new features detailed below. Do keep in mind those features will only be shown after the clients have been updated, which should happen by the end of the week.

Session Options – We are introducing with this release an integrated platform that easily allows you to manage your state during a session. When you are playing you will notice a small additional icon on each of your tables that gives you easy access to the Session Options. From there you can Sit out on all tables, Sit out next Big Blind on all tables, Resume play on all tables that you are sitting out on, and end your session gracefully – Sit out next Big Blind on all tables and close them. For immediate feedback about the state of your session, the table icon will change from a green play sign when you are sitting in on all tables, to a yellow play/pause icon when you are sitting in on some and sitting out on other tables, to a red pause icon when you are sitting out on all tables.

Auto buy-in – Auto buy-in allows you to instantly buy in after left-clicking Seat Open without any intermediate steps. Simply set up your buy in preferences once, and the next time you sit at a table you will automatically buy in. Auto Buy-in can be set up through “Options” > “Auto-Buy-In (Ring Games)...” or by clicking on the link in the traditional buy-in dialog. Want to buy in as an exception for a different amount? Simply right-click on Seat Open and the traditional buy-in dialog will show up.

"Seat me" – When you select a table that has empty seats in the ring game lobby, you will notice a Seat Me button below the Go to Table button. Clicking Seat Me automatically opens the table for you and sits you in one of the empty seats on the table. If you have Auto Buy-in enabled, you will be automatically bought in for the desired amount; if not – the usual buy-in dialog will appear. In this way taking a seat can be a single-click process from the main lobby.

Sit out next big blind – We have changed the existing Sit out next blind check box on fast tables to Sit out next big blind, and have added the new check box to regular-speed tables as well.

Stack tables layout – We have added the ability to Stack all your tables in addition to the already existing Cascade and Tile. This feature can be accessed either from “View” in the main lobby, or through the Table Layout menu on the table. Shortcut key is Ctrl+8.

Average Stack column – This is a new column in the ring game lobby which shows the average stack of the sitting in players on the table.

No Chat in table tooltip – when you have lost your chat you now have the ability to display No Chat in your table tooltip by activating “Options” > “Show No Chat in tooltip”. This option is only available if you have lost your chat privileges – if you are able to chat at the tables this option would not show.

Notes reliability – We have changed the way notes are saved so that you do not lose your notes when the client is closed in a non-conventional way.

Remove from all waiting lists button – The waiting list dialog (“Requests” > “Waiting on Tables...”) now has a “Remove me from All Waiting Lists” button.

Link to last hand when dealing stops – You will now be able to access the last hand when dealing stops. The Previous link will remain active on the table instead of disappearing. Do note that usually the last hand is the cancelled hand, and the red Replay button will not open a hand that has been cancelled. To look at the last complete hand, click on the Previous [Hand ID Number] link and use the Instant Hand History.

Display Bet Amounts defaults to on – This option is now enabled by default on new installs and activated for players who have not explicitly disabled it.

Advanced action Check moved – To avoid mis-clicks when selecting the Check advanced action we have re-positioned Check slightly higher so that it does not overlap with the Call [Amount] check box which appears when someone bets before you.

Tournament Tickets dialog improvements – The window accessed through “Requests” > “Tournament Tickets” has been improved. Among other things, it will now list all tournaments that accept a specific ticket typed.

Once again, those updates will only be in effect after the client programs are updated, which should happen by the end of the week. Thanks a lot for the great feedback in this thread and we hope that you will enjoy the new features and changes!

These are all great improvements. But one thing Full Tilt does that Stars still doesn't is save tourney summaries to the hard drive. It makes no sense to me why Stars hasn't implemented this, despite many requests to do so. Can you or someone from PStars please let us know if this is planned?

Thanks.

PLEASE make this a reality, it is ridiculous that tournament/sng players have to jump through so many hoops (as well as force the tracking software aftermarket to try so many band-aids for this) just to figure out how we're doing!

I would also like a shortcut key to be available if I want to change between my own custom layouts.

It would be really nice if someday Stars would indicate when a SNG is an 18-man, 45-man, etc. somewhere in the HH. Right now there is basically no way to filter these out in HEM based on the HHs.

Try using keyboardredirect.ahk. It will maintain keyboard focus on whatever window your mouse cursor is over. If you click and start typing in a chat/note window, no other windows can steal focus.

I think you want to use TIF control with TN instead of TUM.

Please give us the option to auto close SNGs once they are over and don't give us a pop up telling us what place we finished in. The focus stealing improvements were good but there is still focus stealing at the end.

Also a way to automatically sign up for x number of SnGs would be nice for those of us with macs and no table ninja. At least give me an option for one click registering.
