It's actually an improvement from the past, when Supernova status would expire at the end of June.

Really not liking the average stack sizes. Like to see an option to disable this, it's very distracting in the lobby. Basically useless for limit games anyways.

Pretty sure I've already mentioned this, but there are some details I didn't put in if I did. A specific transfer system for staking really is needed. At least to eliminate transfer delays because of the limits Stars imposes. The horse would setup the games that he/she would like to play, and then the backer(s) would choose the package (maybe even have like a special code/password for the package) and the percentage that the backer(s) is doing + any mark-up/mark-down. The system would tell how much the person owes, and then they accept and are booked. After the event(s), the money would immediately transfer to the backer(s). This way transfer limits would not interfere. The idea of transfer limits is to prevent money laundering, so there really is no reason for them to cause much difficulty (especially with large wins.) Would be cool if this could be implemented for live events, but obviously that would be more difficult to do.

I've checked the forum search but couldn't find anything related to it so I'm posting here: since the PokerStars update before the latest one I'm having huge trouble with the notes function. Whenever I want to type a note or even look at a player's note or go to the player notes in the "options" section the software freezes for like 30secs as if about to crash. After that it resumes normal perfomance but it's really annoying. I play 80% tournaments/Sngs so getting dealt out of the hand is not that bad (i guess, although I'm playing only sng turbos and the clock timer's kinda short ofc) and by now I simply try to type the note when I already folded my cards or checked the fold option but I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do since nobody seems to have the same problem as nobody mentions it. I'm on a Windows Vista 32.
The update before last came out, I started having the problem, then like 2 days later came the most recent update and I thought "Oh, they fixed it already?" but I continue having this issue... anyone knows about it?

At this point I also want to vote for the CAP tables, the different wallets like tourneys, sng and cash would be neat but a slight overkill maybe. But HANDS UP for the erase-tournament-ID-from-headline-in-resized-window! This is really useless information and I completely agree, knowing if it's $6, $27 etc and 9, 18, 45 etc players SNG outweighs the damn tourney ID

you think you want this... but you might not

one way to make a "snap read" on a new villain is their open sizing

2.5xing is (though theres more 2.2 etc etc now) something a newer player wont do but if SB scrolling is standard theyre more likely to use it

Stars,

I found a glitch in your "sit out next BB" check box, if you could please note and adjust it. If I have the checkbox marked to sit out next BB, either manually or with the choice in the dropdown menu, it does not work properly under a certain condition and it has cost me money several times now by posting my blind when I didn't want to post it.

If the player to the right me (who is supposed to be the small blind) sits out/leaves without taking his small blind, the small blind reverts to me and posts itself and I'm stuck for either the small blind, or play another round... not fair...

Apparently, the software doesn't recognize that I didn't post the BB and since it's a small blind, goes ahead and posts the small blind. It should at least ask me if I want to post it. I try to autopost to speed games up, and fast games just post auto.

Thanks for passing this along to the techies to resolve.

Increasing pokerstars number of tables
I play mostly 200nl fullring on Stars.
As most regulars know, when you usually open Stars lobby, you would see about 25 tables of fullring at 200nl with 7+ people on the waiting lists for each table. Obviously, the 7+ people waiting could just sit at a new table and fill it in at once. But almost nobody does it because by the time it fills in you would have to play many hands HU or with only 3-4 players which is really hard to do when you multitable 20 .
I made this thread (and hopefully many regs will notice it) to add our suggestions on how we can increase the number of tables. That will solve most of our problems with the shorties too because of course the fish doesn't want to wait at a 7+ list when he can just join in a 20-50 bb table(once they double up, shorties sit out and they can afford to open other tables).

Possible solution: Stars could add some bonuses to people who start the tables but I think the players would abuse those bonuses so I doubt that will work.

I was thinking along this line: Stars could add 'special' tables that don't start until 5+ ppl are seated, like in a sit'n go. A player opening a table would have the option of opening a normal table or a 'special' table. I don't see a flaw in this solution and I think this would solve many problems and would be in everyone's best interest.

Let's all try to contribute and come up with the best solutions.
+100000000000 call them "click and play" or "one click tables"

bumping this for what feels a lot like an old issue/interaction with the rsa token that hasn't appeared in a while.
several times recently (I can think of 3 specifically) when my connection has dropped for a bit I've come back in what I'll call "observer mode". my cards are face down, no buttons reappear on the table once I re-establish connection, etc. it's like I'm a ghost in a dead seat and all I can do is leave the table.

This is essentially how the rsa token interacted with the client when it was first rolled out. It was changed/fixed eventually. I hadn't seen it until just very recently again. So has something changed recently? Is anyone else having this happen again?

knowing the tourney ID# is completely useless..... knowing its a $11 and not a $38 buy in makes a difference (currently usefull information is no longer displayed when a table gets shrunk)

Always wondered about this also,would be nice.

While I can understand that this bothers you, the argument that it costs you money is not valid actually. In fact you get an extra orbit for the cost of a SB, effectively increasing your EV.

First, if I say I want to sit out, then I want to sit out, so it doesn't do what it is supposed to.

Second, "increased EV" for ONE round... wow.. (sarcasm)

I multi table full ring. I either have to forfeit the small blind and leave (thus, as you say, decreasing my EV), or, while all the other games are closed... sit there and play 5 more minutes, maybe 10. And, if I stay and play the round, then the "break" I was going to take, I can't! Why? Because all the other tables will have played a round with me sitting out on them and I risk being booted for missing 3 blinds.

It needs to be fixed

The current functionality is intentional and matches the desires of a vast majority of those who have provided feedback. If there are others out there who dislike the way this was implemented, please join the conversation.

I don't understand. You're saying the vast majority of people that choose to sit out next bb on all tables would like to post the SB and play another orbit when this situation occurs instead of sitting out?

Ok, I'm def not one of those people and the logic kind of baffles me, but you sound kind of matter of fact like this is normal so maybe I'm out of line

If the plan is to keep it like this, then it would be nice if you could add a checkbox into the advanced multitable options stating something along the lines of "sit out next bb and I mean it" so that those of us that actually want to sit out can do so. Perhaps it would then check the "sit out next bb" when we choose that option from the session menu and once we're not in either blind it would check off "sit out next blind" to make sure we're completely done at the end of the orbit.

I dislike the way it was implemented (regarding the way the SB is handled, anyway). I mass multitable full ring.

Same here, put me down for feedback on the opposite side. I think the functionality that everybody is looking for is "sit out after this orbit completes" rather than specifically next bb or next blind.
