Wow, It is two very good ideas; this annoys me so much.
Can you be more preciuos?
It's not clear what exactly annoys you so much.
  1. Bigger pots (bigger rake and rakeback) when someone enters table @ the CO?
  2. Bigger rakeback you get comparing people who dont care/know?

Its really unclear you have to be more specific about what annoys you.


//EDIT: do you LIKE ratholers? If you do I understand you want these smart minds live their life as smooth as possible.
If you dont like or dont care then i tell you one secret: everytime a ratholer leaves your table in bb makes the table's average pot increase. DUCY? You hate bigger pots right? And like ratholers right?

  2. Increases rake back for fish (thus stars has to give LESS to those who care if they want to maintain same profit margin). So do you want to not wait in the cost of 1% loss of rakeback? Do you have some mental problem or why is it unacceptable to have one table sitting at the edge of the screan.

Same goes with the idiotic ideas about CONTRIBUTED rake. When you give more to fish you have to give LESS to regulars if the same profit margin is expected.
Contributed will move people that dont care about their level to a higher level. Means more rakeback for fish. More rakeback for fish means less rakeback for regulars unless the profit margin is cut. etc. etc.

Jesus stop these print money ideas. Someone has to pay the bill. Be happy it's not you and enjoy what you get.

Hint: When would I want to leave the table? Probably after I fold my UTG hand, which I will be doing a huge majority of the time. What seat does that open? The cutoff? Nope, try again. It's pretty funny that you liked the option to "sit out and close table" since that does exactly what you are complaining about.

LOL at saving fish money. Who do you think the most likely players to leave before the end of the hand are? All the sharks and regs know they have to stay at the table because it has been discussed for years here but Stars has never bothered to get it right. The fish have no idea, don't particularly care, and leave tables at all sorts of seemingly random times.

You came up with a bizarre reason to protest this that does not apply. I can only assume you misunderstood.

Cliffs: When I leave a table after folding my UTG hand, the big blind opens for the beloved fish you want to protect, even though using fish protection for this issue is laughable. I am then able to go fill another table faster, perhaps even posting the big blind at a new table more frequently because others are also leaving after folding UTG hands. Fish no longer lose vpps because they don't know this hidden rule regarding VPP awarding.

Seriously, WTF. I guess somebody can be found to protest anything.

Add my vote to getting the vpp. I can live with it either way. But, if I fold the hand, UTG, I'm done and if I leave then I have earned that vpp... unless... is PS's awarding the vpp's to the remaining players in the hand? Or just absorbing it into their profit margin? I can live with it if the remaining players get the benefit.

It would be nice to be able to put custom minimum values in the new filters for cash games. As an example, I prefer a minimum VPIP of 35% for the tables I sit at and it would be easier to be able to just type a value in the box.

Actually it's fairly different (if we have it right in STTF) in that when the game ends you get a bonus for how many chips you have. This is going to make the strategy much more gambly and the bubble much less pwnable.

the new time bank sucks especially because the seconds countdown is now tiny under ur screenname. do the colour countdown under SN like ftp does it and keep the number countdown in the circle.

secondly could u introduce a global waitlist feature like ftp has. clicking join waitlist 10 times is no fun. u dont even need the alert feature when a new table spawns. just join all currently full table waitlists or something similar

Yeah this is annoying but I just have a hotkey in ninja for joining waitlist and i just mash that while i scroll through lobby with the up and down keys at the beginning of my session. So it's not so bad.

No. If we are correct on the Fifty50 Assumption, it would work this way:

10 players buy in for $10 each. In a DON, The five remaining players would get $20 each and the other five get nothing.

In the Fifty50, it would work like this:

If Player A has 11,000 chips, that player gets $37.50, Player B with 4000 chips gets $20.00, Player C with 3500 chips gets 18.75, Player D with 1300 chips gets $13.25, and Player E that squeeked in with 200 chips gets $10.50.

This puts a premium at gathering chips and discourages someone from just barely getting in the top five without getting blinded/anted out.

Join all currently full waitlists is an absolutely terrible idea, come on guys. Do you like have three seats unfilled while waiting for 24-tablers to use up their time before declining their option to sit?

Ok, then I guess the best approach is to play it like a standard MTT/large SNG.

Absolutely you should get your vpp when you leave before hand is over. It will greatly improve the game. Right now people are siting out waiting for there bb to come around so they don't have to post early. If the other player would give up the seat before the blind came around the tables would be full longer.

Why every ****ing beginning of session do I need to change "Adjust bet size with the Small Blind" to "Adjust bet size with the Big Blind" in the "Bet slider options" ???

Actually use the "Buy-In" column in the Tourney lobby. For satellites, use the actual name of the tournament in the info pane on the right side of the lobby. It is really is annoying that i have to click on the tournament id to find out all the info.

For this umpteenth time, It's gonna be fixed soon. Always read the latest posts instead of jumping in head first.

Just save the opposite of the option you want.

oh sorry for my insult then.
I forgot that the most whining people are usually the one-tablers that lose like 1 cent per day because of table change.

Nope, try again. As for now the software waits for when you should post. Then it sits you out instead of posting. Whether it closes the table or you have to close the table, another player will NOT take the seat fast enough to post. So he will be seated into sb and will have to post into CO.

SERIOUSLY are you playing poker online? This is so obvious you had to have notice that. And its NOT site dependent. How many hands did you play? 10 or less?

JESUS you have some serious reading problem. **** THE FISH. **** THE PROTECTION AND **** THE FISH. I have never ever said ANYTHING about protection.

Once more: Leaving table right when you should post makes average pot bigger - at least the hand CO posts when entering table. THAT IS ALL. **** PROTECTION. The whole point is leaving when UTG hand ended makes someone post in CO consequently making the pot bigger (by at least 1 bb but usually more). I don NOT want to protect anywone. I WANT BIGGER POTS.

Are you saying there's a moron out there that refuses to post in CO? Is there some advantage in doing that?

Again 1/1,5 equals 6/9 so the price per hand is the same. No reason to not post in CO. If someone does mark him as an idiot or uber nit = advantage for you.

Ok, i have a new way better feature request then just make it that when you enter the table after CO you are set to auto post in. Really no reason to complain when you post in CO its good for everyone (including the one posting).
