Idk if it helps but you only get the (Seat Open) over empty seats at NON final tables. Obviously this is useless when you're fully seated still.

please add more BI levels in the filtering (or a typed in amt filter rather than a pulldown with choices)

1,2,5,10,20,30,50.... are also not ideal #s unless they are for buy in without rake included (50, should include 55s, 30..33s, 10..11s etc)

Yeah you're right, but still it's not as easy as it could be to indicate tho.

Just cant wait to play Rush. I loved playing it on FT and I think Stars will come out with something equal to or better than what was on FT.

I am really curious to see what they are planning.

I think you mean you can't wait to play a Fast Moving Ring Game

I have asked before for Stars to give us more information regarding MTT finishing times, for players who have to be up in the morning for our day job/studies etc it would be useful if you could either:

1. Leave all completed tournaments accessible in the lobby for over 24 hrs after they started, so that someone who is considering playing a tournament, will be able to estimate the finishing time based on the tournament lobby from the previous day.

Or 2. Have some kind of average finishing time listed in the tournament lobby, if you want to get really fancy you could have some kind of algorithm that would watch the entrant numbers and adjust the finishing time accordingly, kinda like the old ftp lobby used to adjust the payouts as each player registered.

Either of these changes would help people be able to manage their tournament schedule better and not end up registering for a tournament that drags on past the time you want to stop playing.

Going even further, you could develop the tourny filters further to be able to only show tournaments that usually finish before a specified time eg only show me nl holdem tournaments w/buyin between $10-$50 that finish before midnight.

-1.

The last thing anyone should want is for fish to not reg for a tournament because they actually worry about how long it might take. If you care that much then the easiest estimate is to see what level there will be about 50bb in play and how long it takes to reach that level.

You can type directly into the boxes too, so just enter in the exact amounts that you want for min and max.

While I agree that the previous day's tourney should be more readily available, you can still request the tournament history for yesterday's event, and you'll get an email which tells you the finish time. It's not ideal, but it'll do.

+1 - I understand the fish concern, but this could be fixed by making it one of those hidden away features like the advanced multi-table options. Just make "Est Finish Time" a column that only appears if you enable it.

Hello 2+2,

We will be releasing a client update over the next few days. Here is the list of the most important features added:

Hotkeys (Beta)

We will be releasing a Beta version of hotkeys in this build (Windows clients only). This feature has been tested by a small group of players on TestPokerStars over the past month and we are opening the feature to a wider audience for testing and more feedback.

In a nutshell, the feature allows you to configure keyboard/mouse shortcuts for various game actions. You can configure your PokerStars hotkeys by going to "Options" > "Hotkey Settings".

Hotkey actions include: Fold, Check, Bet / Raise, Set Bet amount to X% / BB / All in (with the option whether to bet or just set the bet amount), Activate next / previous table and some others.

You can also control which table would receive the hotkey -- the one that is active or the one that is under the mouse pointer. You can even specify a custom color for a table border that highlights the table to receive the hotkey!

We are very much interested in feedback about this new feature, so please email us yours at beta@pokerstars.com.

Easy Seat (Beta)

We have made a number of minor improvements to Easy Seat based on the results of the wider testing. The two most noticeable bugs we fixed were Easy Seat attempting to seat players despite them being at table cap and adding players to over-long waitlists.

Easy Seat will remain in Beta for this month to be sure that we have worked all the issues out. If you would like to test out Easy Seat, please go to "Options" > "Lobby Display Options" and select "Show Easy Seat (Beta)". For best results you should enable Auto-Buyin to make the process as seamless as possible.

If you have any feedback about this new feature, please email us at beta@pokerstars.com. You can find more information about Easy Seat here.

Time Tournaments

We are making some final adjustments to the messaging associated with Time Tournaments and are planning to deploy a wider offering this month. Stay tuned for more updates!

Improved Table Animation (Beta)

We continue to work on improvements to the table animation to make the playing experience as nice as possible for our players. This build we are tweaking the “Full (Beta)” animation settings. We have made the animation smoother and have slowed it down a bit. Players on the default "Simplified" animation setting will not experience any changes.

If you want to try out the new animation simply go to “Options” > “Table Display Options” > “Animation” and select “Full (Beta)”. Any feedback on the Beta animation can be sent to beta@pokerstars.com.


As always, we have also made a number of other minor fixes / improvements to the client and server. These include highlighting the Notes tab after assigning a label, fixing a bug with the always apply labels option when detached chat is active, and a bug in the Hand Replayer where the flop was disappearing for Nova Theme Users.

Note: The above changes would only take effect once your gaming client has been updated, which could happen at different times for different players. Please ensure you are running PokerStarsUpdate.exe to get the update.

Most husng players play different limits as well. Even if you are rolled for the $200s, people often continue to play the $100s or $60s, and sometimes go up to the $300s. Stars does allow 2 tables to be open at each limit which is enough. Take a look at the HU cash tables in the lobby and you see how lame it appears.
I would prefer they just make it so you can't sit alone at two tables simultaneously (per level).

Does this include selecting the cards you want to discard in draw games?
