LOL at the world record tourney critics. Keep the promos coming Stars. That's why you're the best poker site in the world. Great software, great customer service, and tons of promos to keep the player base/fish coming.

Dear Stars,

All I want for christmas is;

1) Labels to stop switching to the notes tab.
2) "Fast Moving Ring Game" to be up to, at the very least $2/$4.

Happy Holidays

It's a pretty solid criticism when it took all SnGs down.

omg they ****ed up in that they underestimated the server load, get the **** over it already. if this was any other site all games would have been down for 10 hrs

We can look into this next time we improve the notes system.

Thanks -- we are working on improving the Info tab information and we will see if this can be added.

They are currently in a Beta stage on the Mac TestPokerStars client. We are hoping to release them as Beta to the main mac client either with the upcoming build or with the January one.

Rebuy improvements, including ability to rebuy with a single click from the table and to set defaults for auto-rebuy options are planned.

I will check with the developers, but I don't think that there is a specific system that will optimize lobby opening location and it could very well be random on the screen.

Re: News pop up: We are looking into improving the way we deliver content to players.
Re: Tables queuing based on time to act: We will look into this.

This is a neat idea and next time we improve the notes system something like this will definitely be considered.

The intention was not to stop certain games while the World Record tournament starts and this was an emergency that we had to deal with. Apologies for any caused inconvenience as a result of this.

Someone who doesn't play SNGs spotted.

I for myself think the world record was an awesome promo. Rakefree, overlay, 10c satellites - brouth a lot of players to deposit/join. One word: side games;
Beneath this MTT, 1$ RA Satellite to 109$ were filled with fishes.

I'm talking calling J3o PFAI in a two-way all in spot or shoving A4o UTG 75bb deep. And that in a time where the most "fishy" action for example on a 1.5$ Hyperturbo 6-max is shoving AJo UTG with an M of 20.


Bringing people a ROI of at least 40k on the final table sure makes a lot of poker-eco in the small field. Remember IAX7A (or whatever his name was, just remember sunday million)? If you get to the final table of a 200k MTT you're feeling like pokergod. And with several k dollars in your Cashier I don't think anybody is saying like "this was variance I'm gonna withdraw and keep playing <10$ MTTs".



Anyone has some graphs of the final tablers latest games?


just checking myself;

sokoluk is an average 5-10$ SnG player and didnt play one game after his win on stars. not a fish.
kaitz20 who made a 4k two years ago in a 10$ MTT keeps playing 10$ Mtts. not a fish.
King-2-Z is also a 4k winner, keeps playing at his level. This makes the top3 of the world record regs. Maybe we can find a fish at the final table who is willing to spend all his money on Poker?

..

doesn't seem like it. Razorfazor for example cashed bigger before (12k from a 109$ mtt) and lost 5k the last 80 games before the World Record.

Maybe it isn't all variance?

Those orbs are an awesome idea!

I'd rather go for a 4-divided ring rather than orbs. It needs to fit any table-size and those rings are actually working right now - so why not divide it?

Is there a new Pstars update today? I seem to be having trouble d/l it. I'm stuck at the "Contacting Site" stage?

I just noticed there's a final table watermark e.g. for Daily Bigs. Can you tell me (us) the reason why this isn't showing up on all MTT (and MTSNG, 45man+) final tables? I mean ppl not requesting something like this enough surely can't be the reason, can it?

Also, please get rid of the "Tournament Table" watermark already so "The Final Table" stands out more, i.e. a FT can be recognized at first glance.

Whatever you plan to do to highlight FT's (watermark, theme, background), please make it a higher priority in development.

edit: More importantly, please add the number/value of collected bounties to KO-MTT summaries (and to the info or stats tab!). By now I avoid playing these because it's a hassle to keep track of overall results, and I bet I'm not the only one doing so. (Turning on congratulation emails is not an option since I play 150-250 tourneys/day, nor is requesting and scanning the audit.)

milestone hand pop up is horrible

i play on a small screen and it take away at least 30% of my screen..wtf

it's fine. u must have a mobile phone screen or sth. i'm playing 18 tables and did not mind it one bit. actually felt it's much better than last time b/c it goes away super fast

It blocks my hole cards (HU 2-7, Nova theme).

LOL no it is not fine! It covers up the stack sizes. I'm playing SNGs I don't want a cash games popup for god's sake!

can u be more dumb?

Milestone popups overlapping bets etc at MTTs & MTSNG again? Really? Damn that's so annoying ffs...

yeah, i could be you

Yeah having a giant black popup that covers the holecards is ridiculous, as if this promo wasn't bad enough.

can we get a sit out next blind and close table by the individual table.

Also had a guy refusing to play sitting out and sitting back in causing the table to pop up asking me to post my sb every time a bit annoying when playing many tables. I think one should be booted off the table when doing this at the minimum preferably booted and banned from the table for x amount of time.

+1. If you have 'hide tourney announcements' ticked you shouldn't have to put up with this.

Really with the milestone popups on tourney tables again FFS?

Get rid of them plz.

+1 Re milestone pop ups, so annoying having to wait so i can see stack size/bet sizes.

Options > Advanced Multi-Table Options...
[x] Sit out next big blind checkbox: Close table on big blind

Ahhh I didn't actually know about this. Haven't checked the thread or that options in awhile, great.

I don't understand your orbs suggestion thingy? I am dumb though.

A lot of people complaining about dumb crap in the thread. That promo was a great one and getting a TON of users online is great marketing for the game itself and gets people interested etc It is definitely a good thing.



Pokerstars is the only website that actually gives a crap about it's regs just look around in internet poker then when u come back here remember that.
