Hello, this was probably already asked, but I did not read through 920 pages.
Is it possible to make adjustable tournament lobbies? The minimum size is just too big and I can not open that many lobbies (and see all the starting times) even on 27'' screen. Thanks!

+1 to the chat idea.

The reg/rec ratio is so big at the tables that the recs are bored at the tables.

I 24 table but use the detached chat while stacking. If I see any good conversation or banter I tend to lock chat on that table and engage a little bit where I can, especially when I see a reg berate a rec. I'll start berating the reg and defending the rec player's fishy play with lines like " I can see why he would play it that way and might make the same play myself cuz it totally looked like you were bluffing there."

More regs should try to chat and make it a more pleasant environment for the rec players imo.

If players could make 'friends' on Stars, then they might be encouraged to play more often because of that sense of community. At my home game, there are guys that have been coming for years that are ridiculously bad at poker, and they know they are, but you can't go out anywhere else and have a good time for $10-$20.

The rec players really need to be shown a good time when they play.

Most of them are just annoyed with the fact that they never win - games are too tough and raked too much for them to have any hope of a prolonged upswing - and its just all business at the tables with the regs timing out and the rec players typing zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz into the chat box.

honestly a big problem is just regs.

with jusr writing "nh" or "lol" when some guy makes a bad joke or whatever the game becomes more friendly

Regs that berate fish are like the worst for poker, there are guys that are 4bb/100 winners and keep insulting fish for making bad plays or whatever, like get a brain u know.

I think pokerstars should take a look at playmoney games on facebook and take out some of their ideas, like getting a bonus of chips everytime you enter to the site, send a beer to another guy at the table, or something like that. not like everyone will use it but maybe a on/off stuff for this would be fantastic for the games.

You can already do this : put the tables where you want and save custom layout.
I your case open two ! tables at first then click tile : now they are the right size and at the top left and right ; now open two more tables and make them the same size by hand , position them at the bottom and then save.

+1 to the several requests to have a filter to find shortstack free tables!!

[x] only show tables where the smallest stack is bigger than: xx BB

or/and just up the min buyin to the max buyin of the next lower level already

more suggestions:

- auto time bank feature

- option to add more buttons to the bet slider

- ability to set 'easy seat' to your filtering preferences

- Buddy/enemy list so people can see when their friends or people they met through stars are online which adds to the social aspect for all & helps regs bum hunt easier so it is two fold

- Table counter in the lobby:


- Add 'show image' to 'block image' without going to options


- Add 'max' to the filters for better filtering


- Allow us to use the buy-in boxes for FPPs too when the FPP box is checked


- More mods for themes/chips/cards. Look at what the other sites are doing (cake 2.0, the new ipoker, etc)

- Hotkey to join waitlist in lobby

- Clicking 'view lobby' on a table highlights that table in the lobby

If the tables are overlapping then by defenition they are not tiled.

I have a problem with the tournament filter window. When I open the filter on my portrait monitor the filter window is wider than the screen and it gets clipped at the side. The filter window stays clipped even when I move it to another screen and so the rightmost portion of it is lost!

How about implementing "Run It Twice" feature? I know this was asked like 1000 times, but I wasn't able to find an answer from PS rep about it.

Also if you do add a min bb filter to filter out shortstackers please add a filter aswell to highlight how many people you are willing to have under that number.

ok here it goes:

windows 7 ultimate 64bit

1. NOTE color ring gets uncolored, once in while it happens and i check a noted player with no color. i have imported notes while back.
2. time bank does not activate automatically (if table is not the active window or whatever other issue that is) the hand just goes to the much without time bank activation. NOTE: this bug has lasted for years, how could you not fix this ????

In fact, one of the features in the client update that we hope to release next week is a Final Table version for the themes in the client!
Thank you very much!
Please implement this not only for FINAL TABLES. Implement it please for ALL TOURNAMENTS.

Stars software improvement????

It will not happen.
Wasted 4 years on that site playing thousands of tourneys.
FTP was 10 times better and another site I played before was even 100 times better. It is a total mystery why they don't improve a few very simple things that would benefit them greatly. I say that, but I really believe it is because better software would benefit better players (link). Stars doesn't want better software untill competition forces them to improve.

The site that is 100 times better than PS -software wise- used to be as bad, but they slowly improved based on our suggestions. When I joined Stars I assumed it was only a matter of time untill they would have the same improvements and I am very disappointed with them they never improve anything.

Even the mob site I play on has better software than PS and they are just laundering money.

it's only meant to activate automatically if you have money in the pot

I strongly doubt that there are sites that have better software than ps (currently)
