[PokerStars] Software Improvement Thread - Page 50 - PokerStars: General discussion -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I would really like a streamlined way to sit at tables off the waiting list. I would like to have the option to automatically be placed at the open seat when I arrive at a new table from the waitlist, and to be automatically be bought in.

...cross posting something DCJ311 suggested in the STT forum...

Price the Double or Nothing tournaments the same as the Heads Up Turbo SNG's.

Well, i have no problem paying 10% in rake on Double or nothing, really.

I was also asking to make them turbo at first.. but now that you changed it.. i think its way to fast..

I mean, i played like 30 'don' since its turbo, and i dont know how many times we were still 8 with 1700 stacks for blinds 150 / 300.. and the game just becomes lotto.

Could you consider a mix between normal + early ante ? (to be sure that away players wont make top5) ?

Like 8 min per lvl and ante 2x bigger ?

Or am i the only one thinking that its going way to fast ?

EDIT : Ho and yes... 100% agree with a Satellite using the Double or nothing system, would just rocks

Claedeus,

You are one of the only ones thinking they are too fast. Everyone was complaining they were too slow before. I think a mix of turbo and regular would just make things too convoluted.

And I want to weep for you when you say you have no problem paying 10% rake on a double or nothing tournament. No soup for you.

So please add 38$ 45man Sngs, no idea why they are still missing.

Also there are 12$ turbo 180man and 11$ non turbo 180man
I like that, you should do that at higher limits too imo so add maybe something like 22+2 180man turbo or 27$ 180man turbo or whatever buy in you want it in the twenties.
I also think there could be 55+5$ 180man. I am quite positive they will run frequently.

as well as a 6.50$ 180man turbo...

The "Double or Nothing" Turbo SNG:s definitely needs a smaller fee. 10% is ridiculous and greedy for a turbo.

There's a reason 90% of my play usually goes to PS. Don't start to act like some of your competitors.

It doesnt take the free seat itself, right?

The new version does, or will with a bit of editing. I think you need to make sure your layout also has exactly the number of slots, for tables you plan to play. I actually turned this feature off, because I like to look at HUD stats, before I automatically sit down in a bad seat, at a bad table.

I also like to have extra slots in my layout, for table selection.

Search/Post in the Stars Planner thread for more details.

according to the announcements, the updated version should include auto-rebuy to 100bb.
could you please check if it is really included in the new version?

It's not. All I can see is a blue mark that says "EN" infront of the chat. There's also added commands for a lot of things. Can't see no reload. :'(

step 1: buy in for 50bb
step 2:fold until back in the 20bb comfort zone
step 3: let the HS shortdonking begin

Alex,
Theres a thread here giving a lot of advice.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/36...33/index5.html

General idea is less rake and make the largest buyin $60 to keep the demand flowing.

Alex,

Can you or someone else from Poker Stars respond to my "Poker Stars I'm calling you out - DON Rake %" thread. I'm cross posting this here since the double or nothing sng's were a player request.

Appreciate the modesty, but Stars doesn't employ the only programmers in the world. Give yourself a pat on the back, but only after you implement the rematch button for husngs please.
