don't know if its been said but I would like to be able to scroll small blind and have the "sit out next bb" funktion in zoom when playing on the mobile app

It's still early and I realize Stars had good intentions, but I really don't like this table started idea. Regs are not playing 5 handed anyway, and as soon as someone leaves since they are the only ones penalized everyone else follows suit. This feature also makes it nearly impossible for regs to play HU matches that start games (unless it accidentally gets filtered down to them when everyone else leaves - and even then it's only fair if the regs are sitting across from each other).

Earlier today there was 10/20 and 50/100 cap running, but no 25/50, because 25/50 is the only limit with table starter currently. This scenario where 10/20 and 50/100 is running yet 25/50 isn't would pretty much never occur otherwise.

EDIT: Also autorebuy doesn't work on starter tables.

Wassup, I thought that zOOm shorthanded play was supposed to be tested this week

Hope the Table Starter feature stays optional. Leaving Stars 100% the moment it becomes compulsory and I won't be the only one.

How does it work?

After moving up stakes recently I have noticed a 'Favourites' games tab would be useful so I can have all the stakes/games I play show up in one area rather than switching tab such as medium, low, micro and then switching to the tourney tab to load the Mtts I play.

Favourites tab please.

zoom tours nooooooow plz

This.

i'm over 3.5million lifetime VPPs now, was 2time SNE.

there is one major issue people want to get solved for months now which is ratholing

all you guys doing is making every change possible in order to decrease regulars winrates even further...

- WC
- eliminate tableselection
- allow 40BBing and ratholing

gonna be interesting wats next. u r marketleader now, but don't be to sure to maintain that position forever if u go down that road even further...

Speaking as someone who doesn't have any issue with starting tables (at 50nl 6max) I would be mortified if the ability to sit at an empty table/sit another reg to start a table was removed.

Initially I liked the idea but the more I hear about it the less I think it will work in practice. Perhaps I would like it if I played msnl or higher where it's harder to get tables going but I enjoy playing regs heads up/shorthanded whilst starting tables, it really breaks up the monotony.

i think table starter is a system with many flaws and it wont catch on

but if you leave it as an option, not mandatory, it cant hurt the games right?

This.

But I'm really concerned that there not going to be an option and that this is Stars' cure all for ratholing, shortstacking, bumhunting, grimming, jesus scripts and whatever other problems may exist.

Table starter has potential IF (and only IF) you solve the ratholing/short stacking issue. Don't want to end up on a table full of shorty regs and not be able to leave.

I like the part where you act as if 40bb min buyins was a step back from something. Wasn't all that long ago it was 20bb min buyins...

+1 to this and everything Timstone said.

Oh if this Table Starters ever goes beyond being optional, I will be making my withdraw and playing elsewhere for sure.

Table selection is all part of poker and just because some people have " problems " with it, doesnt mean the rest of us should be punished.

I assume this will never be anything but optional but you never know.

Get rid of Table Starter please. It is really annoying that there are zero 25/50 CAP tables around. I know some regs that don't use it, b/c they use some custom mods and don't update Stars unless there's a critical update. Also the fish wants to play right after they seat at the table, not after some guys will join some waiting list for the new table.

lagging horifically today, i dont know if this counts as a software issue but its pretty tilting

what's new in this update?

i cant connect to pokerstars right after i updated

i just reset my computer & let it run and after like 5-10mins it gave me a error msg saying "unable to connect to server"

grrr, help plz

I have been looking for a way to discard cards in draw using hotkeys, but I can't see that option in the Stars hotkey action drop-down menu.
Is there something I'm missing or is there another way?
Thanks.

Hi Stars, how is RIT for ZOOM going ?

in the "edit player notes" database, please include an option to delete all players. it's too tedious to do it otherwise

find the player notes xml file (location can be derived from the client) and delete that. a new one will be created next time you log-into the client

I thought that the tablestarters system at high stakes was supposed to functionally work like king of the hill - sort of like a sng lobby. This is how I thought it would be implemented.

Meaning, there would be an open waitlist of 6 players and 5 regs would join. If a recreational player comes, they see 5/6 and join the game and it starts. (Or they "play now" or whatever before they even see the 5/6.)

If the 6th reg joins, then either someone quits or they all play 2 orbits or whatever. If someone quits, then they can't use table starter for a while. In this manner, better regs can "boot" bad regs off the list, because they can force that reg to either play a bunch of hands or get kicked from using table starters for a little bit.

But, since Table Starters are the main funnel for how games start, there is great value in being one of those 5 regs on the list.

So quickly the system at high stakes should be, 5/6 regs sitting waiting. The only difference is, instead of how fast you can sit down, the 5 regs that get to play the fish is now determined by a king of the hill style device.

So, with all of that above information, can someone explain to me how does Table Starters actually work in real life, and why is it not like the way that I described it?
