Why would they make substantial changes to rake when almost all recreational players have no idea/don't care about high rake and regs won't stop playing anyway.

I agree rake is disgusting accross the board in poker and i pay about $20K a year on stars currently, but what the f can you do seriously?
One way would be for all training sites to make constant effort to convince people that multitabling low stakes is pointless with that rake and that they should bumhunt and refuse to play without 2 whales at the table.
Also maybe some kind of organized protest would do, but poker players are hard to organize. I imagine that getting out of low stakes these days is very very difficult. Even at 400NL rake is very high (about 150bb/1000 hands).
Imo the fair solution would be to make rake equal across the stake (in terms of bb/100). Of course having something like 4bb/100/table would be awesome but I guess that would cost Stars half the profit and is not going to happen until we have open market and fair competition (which might be never).

I guess this is not software related, and its most likely been discussed previously but i haven't seen it so i apologize if its the case. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where the appropriate thread to post this would be.

I would like 10 HU and 25 HU both NL and PLO tables to be implemented, with an appropriate rake that would take into account the increased activity/hands per player and still allow for profits to be made possible.
I think they have been successfully implemented on other sites.

I guess a counter argument could be "play HU SNH until your properly rolled for 50HU", but SNGs do involve increasing blinds, and therefore somewhat restrain deepstack play . And psychologically betting $ if different from betting chips, so the vibe is also different.

Anyways just putting it out there (once more?).

Vomit

I though it was quite entertaining watching Isuldur and Zigmund play 100/200 at a 9max table so they could sit north/south seating. Does the new table themes allow all heads up players to sit this way? Thanks

Hey i dont know if this is the right place to ask but anyway

When i stack some tables on top of eachother at pokerstars, and have tableninja automatically clicking 'im back' if i sit out, does this mean that i will never have a table that i can 'forget' during the multitabling because it will never show up?

Lets say if i have 8 tables on top of eachother, i will not notice if one would always stay at the bottom. I want to be sure that that doesnt happen. So will it or wont it?

My main point would be the splitting up of the player pool. I don't want another disaster like with the 20-50bb tables. And I would argue that rush poker or a similar version of it is a totally different game. There is no game flow anymore, table dynamics are gone just to be able to play 1500+ hands an hour.

Seriously if you want volume then add more tables. Pokerstars made it very easy. I believe CTR-S opens up a similar table to the one you're sitting at. You can fire up 16+ tables in no time. Play them stacked and you got your rush poker Kind of at least

Do you EVER receive reposrts of a widespread problem? your pokerstars, you do no wrong. You fraud banks but for the benefit of the player! You blackmail customers but for the integrity of the site! Pokerstars biggest gimmick going. The fast food of shady offshore business

Yes, rush poker is somewhat different but guess what u dont have to play it. You also want to tell me that all fish on FTP was playing rush and the normal games were dead? not true

Look at 100nl/200nl SH. You can not fire up 16 tables in no time... if you want to have at least one weak player at ur table you can forget it with ''in no time''.

Playing stacked is not the same. While you are thinking about a play you are timing out at the other 15 tables. That is not like rush was.

You have to reset the replayer to default size and your problem should be solved (open up the replayer and then go to the "View Options" and you'll see this option).

The reason this happened was probably cause you hit the maximize window button sometime before.

We are in the process of finalizing the themes after receiving feedback from the beta-testing group. We are expecting the themes to be available in the PokerStars client real soon!

We are aware of this problem and will be fixing this. In the meantime, unmaximizing the window by clicking the window's top-right (un)maximize control will solve your problem.

Please, add 'flop','turn' and 'river' buttons to hand replayer.
And 'preflop' to jump to first action. Who wants to see ante and blinds postings?

Stefan, is note colour limited? I marked some players with colours until I notice other player's colour disappeared. If it is limited, is it possible to make it unlimited?

No more round tables, please; I prefer rectangular tables.

Firstly, this doesn't belong in this thread, which is for software improvements, not game suggestions.

Secondly, you clearly haven't followed any of the protracted debates about this both here in the Zoo and also in MTTc, which ran for ages after the changes in May, and where it was finally determined that this is a bad idea and should never happen? If you're a true grinder with a decent ROI then you should be able to grind up a roll for the 8s in about 100 hours or so at the 2.50s

- Double auto-rebuy on +1r+1a tourneys?
Why is there a [x] Double auto-rebuy button on +1r+1a tourneys?

I think it might be misleading for the recreative player.
