it'd be nice if pokerstars would allow me to download their software on my new laptop. i can download every other site fine, but stars it stalls at 1 or 2% downloaded everytime. they even sent me 3 alternate links and the same thing happens. it's happening to my friend on his new laptop too. running windows 7 fwiw.

it's 2010, not 1998, this is ****ing unacceptable.

Thank you!


This is why I play on stars.

OK just realized that they work the opposite way that FTP does. Im pretty excited about that!


Is there a way to make it so that it works by just clicking on the table? It seems it only works when I click on the bet text box.

In your Options you have the ability to "Highlight Bet Amount" which means the software automatically takes your mouse attention to the betting box. Thus saving you a click.

Try this. Get a blank CD and copy the whole c:\Program Files\Pokerstars directory onto the disk. Then set up an icon on your desktop on your laptop, directing it to the pokerstars.exe file and see if that works. Just be sure that both the "start in" and the actual exe file both are pointing to the drive you will always have the CD in. At least for now, that might work till you can figure out why 7 is giving you such a hard time..

Ok now its working for me even tho I had highlight bet amount checked all along. I guess Im just a lil slow.


Thanks guys.

I think it'd be way easier and smarter to first try downloading the .exe on his other computer, then transferring it to his laptop and installing.


also, I know if I leave before a hand is over I don't receive the VPPs for it and PS doesn't write the HH to my hdd, so I need to ask if I use the "stop all tables and close on next bb" option, is it reliable enough to trust that I'm getting all VPPs and HHs that I should be?

As far I know you would get credit because it would not close the table until it was your turn for the bb, at that point it would sit you out and close the table.

but i feel like it might be too fast to write the hh

Looks like triple stud is a bust. How about some pot limit stud games

Mississippi stud
Mississippi stud was created to make seven-card stud play better at no limit and pot limit, and is slowly becoming popular for that reason. It is also often played with a betting structure more typical of Texas hold 'em: fixed limit with the last two rounds double the limit of the first two. The bring-in should be less than the first-round limit.
Initial deal as in standard seven-card stud. After the first betting round, two upcards are dealt to each player, so each now has two down and three up (so unlike standard stud there is no betting on "fourth street"). A second betting round is followed by one more upcard and a third betting round. Finally, the last card is dealt face up, so that each player ends with two downcards and five upcards. Because each player has five upcards on the last round, straights, flushes, and full houses count as "high hand exposed" for the purpose of determining who must bet first. After the seventh street bet there is a normal showdown.
Can also be played with low hands, or high-low split. If three downcards are dealt initially instead of two, with the restriction that no more than two of them can be used in the final hand, this variation is called Murrumbidgee stud.--from Wiki

Also if you could not muck the up cards of folded hand but leave them visible in some way. That way we can multitable stud.

For husngs could there please be a way to filter out the 4 man and no blind increase.

Is anyone else having an issue with Stars folding your hand for free in the big blind if you hit fold? There used to be a popup. Also by hitting enter on my keyboard it now makes a bet for me. This all started today.

i have to say i dislike the idea of having 'display in BB' option...

+1

^imho

on the bb vs cash subject:

thinking this over again ..chances that stars is trying to get a europe licence? if so it could be hard to explain the comission the purpose of a feature that covers the fact that your 10bb raise is actually worth a couple of thousand dollars.

When you are sitting in one heads up table playing and have a second one at identical stakes waiting for action, if the player sits out you are thrown off the table you were playing at.

This is really bad because if the player wants to come back you have evaporated. Also if you wanted to keep a deep stack at the table waiting for action from other players you don't have the option.

On FT they keep the table in the lobby with the deepest stack but don't kick you off the other tables.

thanks.

Nanonooko doesn't mix limits. Or at least didn't.

I don't think bb should be displayed. Next you will have pot odds and your outs v's their range.

In wich way having BBs instead of cash can make fish better players?

If now they cant think about the porcentages that their and their opponents bets means in relation to the pot or the future pot, or about odds or outs; they will keep doing this even if they have the option to see BB instead of cash.

If you are saying that this feature will help fish at playing better when multitabling different stakes, and will help them to play for longer time now that the game would be less stressful, because you can forget about the money while playing; well yes, that is the goal with this application.

Having BB instead of cash is an option that a lot of people want, not only fish but people at diferent stakes with different knowledge of the game; this have to mean something.

My guess is that if the sites dont implement that, the moders will do it.

He is close.

my vote is no BB option. Fish want to see the cash. It will either have no effect, or will eventually educate them. Why do that? This is strictly a feature wanted by multi tablers to make their lives simpler. Use TN or a mod to do what you want.

No idea if this has been suggested/discussed...if so sorry in advance.

I'd like an option to disable all table images EXCEPT mine! It would be cool to be able to look at the pic of my daughter and not every other silly pic.

That's my dog

That makes no sense. Displaying BBs is in no way similar to displaying pot odds or outs.

nh

Anyone who says the BB option is a bad idea is just plain dumb. Thats it. ITS AN EXTRA OPTION THAT FISH WONT EVEN KNOW OFF.


IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POT ODDS AND OUTS.


GROW A BRAIN etc etc


shesh

Also the lobby in front of everything tilts me

For the love of god when are they gonna make euro cash tables that aren't all fast tables. What is the logic behind it? Ridiculous
