Please don't do this. There are already a huge range of SNGs which splits up the pool of recreational players, please don't add more or it'll fragment even further. Can people please stop suggesting it?

Sorry to be pedantic MD, but actually H. neanderthalensis had a pretty huge brain, quite a bit larger than that of H. sapiens. Totally agree with you that smartazz should stop poasting his tl;dr gibberish now tho.

In fact, in some situations, strategically using up time is an accepted practice:

1. In the Offiicial Double or Nothing Thread, "timing the blinds" so that a targeted player is put all-in by the blinds before you are, is an accepted and discussed strategy, used by players playing from $1 to $100.

2. Satellites. Here's a common scenario:

A $2.20 satellite has 50 players, and is giving 7 tickets to the Sunday 1/4 Million. When it gets down to the final table (9 players) the #4 or #5 stack might start slowing the game down intentionally.

I have not seen this discussed anywhere, but the intent is obvious. By slowing down the game, everyone gets fewer hands before the blinds go up. This puts a lot of pressure on the small stacks to act before they get blinded out, and gives those small stacks less chance to catch a hand before they are forced all-in. This of course makes it more likely that small stacks will get knocked quickly, which in turn means that all of the players in 5th place or higher have a good chance to coast into a satellite win, without playing a hand.
Im talking about cash games where people are playing to many tables and quite frequently see people time out so they are sat out and it just keeps on going and going making me switch to another table(s). Its just messed up that 1 person can ruin the flow of all the tables he's on and many times that person will be on more then 2 table Im playing at. I dont mind it every now and then cuz sometimes you have to think but when its just every hand there's a point where that person is effecting everyone on his tables and something needs to be done.

You might want to check out www.pokerstars.com/vpp/earn. Reread your lovely contract link.

When you play at PokerStars, you earn points for each qualifying raked hand you play in our cash games
Quote:
VPPs at these tables are based on the total rake collected at the table and the total number of players dealt into the hand. VPPs at these tables are awarded at the rate of 6 VPPs for each $1.00 USD in rake collected or 8.5 VPPs for each €1.00 EUR in rake collected. The total VPPs for that hand are then divided equally among the players who were dealt into that hand. Fractional VPPs will be awarded in hundredths.
Any further lessons on a capitalist deal, or is your Nick Bottom impression finally coming to an end? You surely don't read much and don't know who that is, so you can check wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Bottom

I do understand that you are making some ridiculous idiosyncratic argument in order to get something that you think would make the games better for you, larger pots. However, if this is something you want, you should lobby for three-blind games. If you find it offensive that players who fold are rewarded vpps, I think that's a fair argument and you should be clamoring for contributed rake formulae for vpp-awarding. What you should not be doing is arguing for the maintenance of an unfair system clearly the result of a programming oversight, just because this particular error benefits you in an unintentional manner.

The irony of you posting nonsense about contracts and robbery and a series of other quality wiki links is that this is fully an issue of contract and fairness, and has nothing to do with anything else. That you would like the CO to post and make the pot bigger is fine and good, but manipulating the system in a manner that is not fair to players is not an acceptable way of going about implementing your desired results.

Also, do try consider people outside of your particular situation. It is clear you are playing full ring and cannot think outside this box. Also, I would like you to try and provide evidence that most people who are given the option to post in the cutoff choose to do so; anecdotally, myself and others have observed the opposite, by a large margin, but I'd love to see some data.

Won't happen. They will rake it twice just hopefully for like 25% of the rake. Controlling the PLO variance would be worth it

start all SNGs with 2,000 chips please. look at how tournaments how evolved with higher starting stacks. 2K stacks still has the SNG ending in a timely fashion but will give winning regs a slightly higher edge.

giving winning regs a higher edge is surely not what they want from a economical point of view

kind of... i mean the more regs there are the more games go off. the same theory applies to MTTs but they increased the starting stacks in those.

F run it twice, allow people to run it 6 times. Or have them choose a number of times they want to run it, and run it the maximum number of times everyone agrees that they want it run, and run it very fast.

That's a good idea, but I doubt they are going to do it anytime soon. It takes a second to pull up the players list every time I click a new table, updating it all constantly would probably make the internet implode. I don't really know this, just guessing.

But I mean, sort tables by number of donks would be amazing.

50000 are free play, that stat they put out is deceiving. And, IMHO, the Don's have basically ruined all other types of single table sng's. It's a bunch of 24 tablers just trying to rack up points. The fish have gone downstream to the micro cash games.

And my vote is NO on Rush Poker. More rake and a quicker burnout of the weak players.

Since you removed autopost, please change the sit out next big blind to sitout next blind which includes the next big blind or small blind

Don't know if this is the right spot for this post.

Whenever I play a tournament, the yellow banner that announces the blind levels never disappears. It's annoying because it's difficult to see if the players on either side of the chips (center-top) have cards or what their bet amounts are. Does anyone know how I can remove this banner from the table? Or at least get it to disappear after a few seconds?

Thanks
