2 tables open, you get dealt in on the button playing zoom, fast fold appears so it pops to front. You have AA, you are not going to Fast Fold.
You get dealt in UTG at the 2nd table, since the 1st table is already on top and you havent acted yet the 2nd table wont come to front and you will time out.

Anyway ideas of how to making this work [without saying that action buttons take precedent because that brings up issues where you are about to click fast fold and another table pops to front causing misclicks]?

Yes, I thought the same thing after I posted that, but if it could be workable it would be an awesome improvement imo. Find a way stars please

I suppose it would work if they introduced preset buttons like the bet/raise any button in limit. This way at least you could select an action and the next table would pop up.

This would obviouly take some thinking about though because of bet sizing and stuff like that. hmm.

why dont you just delete 1/2+ FR zoom,

its anyhow never running

Iirc tables don't steal focus from tables you haven't acted on yet so that wouldn't be a problem (if that's what you mean).

Stars used to have activate next/previous table hotkeys that would flick through the virtual queue of tables in order of which one needed action first, so you could use that to go through tables if you want to take your time a little on one, but some people complained () and they changed it to just aimlessly selecting tables.

You make a good point but as I only play 4 tables of zoom (and I'm sure most people don't play more than this) it wouldn't be that hard to manage, and certainly quicker for me.

Be great if we could ask for a ""self imposed"" chat ban - yet still be able to call the moderator - not for chat violations but for deal assistance / software problems etc.

I like my chat turned of too distracting and my notes often get entered into the tables when they pop up, (used to be a way to keep cursor in the note box your writing in if other windows popped up).

Means cannot call mod to make a deal or reply to deal offers. And by the time the manual call mod is done even with urgent marked is too late.

Re: Notes improvements: Right now we don't have further notes improvements planned. I am sure at some point we will re-visit the Notes system and add new features and we can include those suggestions. But it is unlikely to be any time soon.

Re: Warning pop up if closing table from Windows bar: What OS are you using?

Looking into this.

This is not planned right now as a feature.

Someone just posted the main issue with this idea. I agree it would be great, but the downside of potentially timing out on many other tables is a big issue. Perhaps it could be done if you got some notification that there are X tables pending action and then you can "release focus" from the current table in which case it will just go to the background and come up once it is your actual turn.

Welcome to the thread The use case that you are describing above is one of the main reasons why Find a Player works the way it does.

This is planned in the next set of Hotkey improvements, but this is further down the road.

Research has actually shown that people perceive quicker common words that are not all capitalized, but spelled as they would appear in every day use, since the overall shape of the word is more familiar. So all caps for those actions might actually make it more difficult for vast majority of players.

That's the main reason why signs on highways are not all capitalized (a bit of a digression here )

Re: Mobile <-> Desktop switch: Since you can just close one and then log into the other client, we have given this a lower priority. We might improve the process in the future, but for now it seems current set up is quite OK. Also there is a security concern to most "hot swap" solutions.

Re: Tourney text in middle of table: This is a nice idea that has been around for a long time I believe. Looking into it.

This definitely sounds like a third-party tool issue. Best would be to contact the third party provider.

I am not sure I understand what you mean. Could you elaborate pls?

Thanks for the feedback!

We do plan to keep the chat messages across tables, although this will most probably not make it more social, since you can't really respond. Global Chat lobby might be a good idea.

I have passed this to the relevant teams.

I small player pool (ie 2.5/5 but even at 1/2) you can - you will be playing with the same guy soon enough and can hit enter when he appears at the table

I second that, especially the highlighted part. Otherwise it's great.

rolling Mac client 6.109 here, not superconvinced that this is functional.

Can Stephan / other Mac users please confirm that they can:

cycle through tables that currently require action

using the current hotkey Go to ‘First Action’ Table” ?

At present it will perform function a) of bringing the 1st in active queue to the front but will not cycle action-required table queue after this

I believe that she/he/it means once you've elected to show 1+ cards you may currently only do so by clicking the fold&show / show button which generally is a replacement of the fold? or raise? buttons depending on the situation (uncontested/fold)

If you are stacking a reasonable number of tables then the risk of mis-click folding/raising on a pop-up table is high.

Perhaps to counter this, if you have the option enabled to show cards, then as soon as you highlight 1+ cards with a mouse-click at the table then those selected cards will auto-show once the hand is complete without any further interaction required by the user.

Stefan,
Why can't you save filters like you could on Full Tilt? People have been asking for this for years...I am sure this would increase player volume because it would make games easier to find and register for. Idea: Just create a "Custom" tab like the Hold'em, Omaha, Tourney, Sit & Go, etc. tabs and you could save multiple filters and apply one or any combination of them (or all of them at once) and the games would be displayed in this tab. Also, on this "Custom" tab, you could split the screen and have the cash games on top and tourneys on the bottom. Is this that difficult? Thanks.

+1. Sort by ascending by starting time or by last filter in new Registered In Tournaments popup (BTW a huge improvement from before) ... should be very useful for tourney players.

Minor suggestion: i like to keep my sound on for pokerstars for various reasons, but the "action required" noise is incredibly annoying for zoom. When i am utg in zoom i often get the notification before i can even see my hole cards especially when playing on my phone. I think an extra second or two added to utg's time would be nice.

Not sure if this has been mentioned or requested before, but;

I like the 'average time' that is displayed in some of the SNG lobbies, but having that displayed in some of the larger MTT, especially those ones with long late registration periods, would be ideal.

Or simply keep completed MTTs in the lobby for 24 hours, and that way you can see how long the same tournament took the previous day.

When it's late in the evening, it's nice to know how long you'll have to play, if you run deep.

Thank you.

Option to get rid of the News pop up

Agree, I think chatting in zoom can be improved to at least for now capture more of the chat found in normal ring games. I'm not sure I agree with an each stake lobby as they might be off putting and uninviting.

I think more persistence of messages is needed e.g. if I'm in a hand and V chats to me it adds him to that current window text 'thread' so i can reply back next or l8er hands and we can still talk. I think you have to keep it observable in the current hand window and not spawn off a 'whisper' just between us for security and peer oversight -e.g. bullying/ threats e.t.c are less likely

Interesting point ...

Is there a way to determine the # of rebuys you've personally taken WHILE playing rebuy tournaments?
You can find out the # the hard way AFTER a rebuy tournament by requesting for a Playing History Audit.

A new feature for that will be good for $-conscious players, but may put added traffic to site.

Why would you chat in Zoom? The action is too fast for that.

The action isn't actually that fast if you are only 1-2 tabling it.

The main reason for people asking for some kind of a global chat system ( not just for zoom btw) is because it can create a more social atmosphere for recreational players.

The way things currently are, its all business with the mass tabling regs.

I try to engage fish in some friendly chat from time to time but I'm also mass tabling so its difficult. I use the detached chat box for all tables and have to lock it on to the table I want to chat but sometimes I miss stuff on other tables because of that.

I'm sure Stars is working on some kind of global chat for stakes and game type. I hope they also incorporate some sort of instant messaging that allows you to create private chat.

As a suggestion, I think it would be cool if Stars had an instant messenger that was also a stand alone app that could be integrated into facebook and what not.

winamax has a very busy lobby chat for example, something similar for stars would be great - you could also condense it down and have zoom player pool chat, whole tournament chat, etc

This is a poor example.

The reason highway signs dont look like this...
NEW YORK - 20 MILES

...is because at a quick glance, it is easier to read this...
New York - 20 Miles


It is also why i write my notes like this...
c/r Barrel OESD

...Instead of this..
c/r BARREL OESD

+1

also having some general chat rooms would be cool for recreational players, like general room where they can talk about anything, strategy room where they will discuss 'strategy', one with pokerstars pros to talk with them and motivate them to play more etc...

Interesting point ...
