You know there's a Sitout Next BB already right? Just click that and move the table out of your stack?

Doesn't help when you use any sort of table layout organization AHK or software that moves tables for you. I also don't see the need to increase mouse movement and waste time dragging tables around when my goal is to reduce mouse movement/clicking and save time for making decisions. The coding is basically 99.9% done when sit out and close all tables is already there. This should be easy peasy to implement.

FTP>Stars in every GUI possible way. Might be a bit harder for 20 tablers, but for us with 3-4 tables, id say FTP wins by a mile.

btw I love you guys at Pokerstars. The software is the nuts. I can have the client open all day and it won't slow down my computer. but please cater to the fish. like ftp did with rush.
yeah, home games is great, now all the fish can just play with their fish friends and forgo the normal games entirely. weee, another thing Stars did to take fish away from us!


also, anyone who thinks the software/GUI at FTP is better than Stars is either nuts or just used to FTP and unwilling to get used to Stars. Stars is seriously a metric shitton better than FTP. FTP does a couple things better (like "favorites") but the interface at Stars is definitely superior overall.

I understand it may looks better for most of Americans, as ftp has this hamburger-style gui which they are used to (no offence intended). But for me ftp gui is a standard against which all badness is measured.

Emails telling me that I received transfers dont always come through to me. Some do. Some dont. They're not in my spam folder. They just dont come through.

Also, if the best reload offer you can muster is a $5 SNG ticket, it would be less insulting if you did nothing at all.

Temporary freezes here as well though I haven't catched the most recent update yet. Seems to have to do with Fifty50 launch. Not a big deal for me as it's only few seconds here and there, just saying.

Still it would be nice. What is and what is not important is up to the players IMO

Today I had another bug. When i tried to BI on an new CG table, it showed the "you left the table... you have to buy in with..." Pop up... Usually the software closes unused tables and the new ones are fresh.

Would make my life approximately 42 times easier. It sucks when you're stacking and trying to table de-select and you sit out a specific table and it disappears into oblivion at the bottom of the stack never to be seen again. Generally I would say people that sit out have intentions of leaving that table 95% of the time, not just sitting out for the sake of sitting out. So I think your sit out options should cater much more towards getting people off of tables. I'm just wasting space for a couple orbits until I turbo check my window preview bar to find the stray tables.

I've been thinking about this. There is much less chat than there used to be, even at the micros. I know that part of it is to prevent collusion, such as stopping chat when a DON is down to 7 players. Still, I can't imagine it's any fun for an excited new fish to get on and start chatting, and get shut down 10 minutes into a tournament.

I try to be friendly when someone wants to chat, if I'm not too busy with other things or multiple tables. I actually had a guy a few days ago type in chat, "I don't want to knock you out. You're the only one who talks!"

Another idea would be to add some (optional) bells and whistles--maybe literally. Maybe some kind of sound and/or virtual confetti when someone wins a tournament (even an STT). And/or something happening when a player gets to the final table--even if it's only a 2-table tournament.

In larger MTTs, you could even put some kind of countdown notice (visual or voice, or both) on the screen to build the excitment:

"900 players remaining"

"800 players remaining"

(then maybe count down by 50s starting at 250)

Star's job is not to provide you with fish, make it easier for you to beat fish, or in any other way make you rich.

Once you learn that your life will be less hurtful.

Is there going to be any way to customize home games to the point where if I want to have a mix game of say PLO8, NLHE, and Razz with 5 minute blind intervals and a 3000 chip starting stack I could?

How about the ability to change the late registration from 10 minutes to anything we want up to an hour?

Sorry if this has already been discussed with the Home Games, but I think it would be better if the lobby showed all the members of the club.

This should be available by default before any games are played. I did notice that the member list appeared under Club Standings in the Club Home tab after we played our first scheduled tournament.

I disagree with this. These are fun because the bounties create action, and give people a reason to loosen their games up a bit. I see mass-tabling regs play these ocassionally, and they do it without any regard for the bounties anyway.
