sounds like a plan imo

Hello xxx,

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately, new SNG tournaments are not generated for several
levels and types. Our Poker Room Management Team is investigating
the issue and we will try to resolve the problem as soon as
possible.

We ask for your patience while we work hard in resuming the
normal operation in regards to SNG tournaments.

Thank you for your report and understanding.

Regards,

Michalis
PokerStars Support Team

We are looking into the issue and will update as soon as we have more information. Thank for your patience!

Anyone had a problem with sng's you're registered in that aren't loading up, specifically 6 max hypers? You are unable to open the sng table even after it's started. Only way to rectify it is a client restart. (Full Tilt had an issue exactly the same when it re-launched)

Hey,

I want to sell my $T on PokerStars and I came across some different websites as: http://www.pokerstarstw.com/
http://www.liquidpoker.net/sell-poke...nament-dollars
http://www.tradepokerstarst.net/

Are these site any reliable? (safety wise etc)

You cant get scammed when selling t dollar... you add the amount and they accept

Add open face chinese play money tables (for now) would def be a big improvement.

Oh I need that stop loss feature quick! Just lost 10+ bi on zoom and now I won't stop. Come at me bros.

First off, I would like to wish you all a happy and successful new year! I haven't been able to post as frequently lately due to the holidays, but things are back to normal now.

In general you could type: the big OR the hot

That said, tournament names are manually specified, so there can always be a slight change that would make this filter not include all satellites.

For late February we will add a horizontal separator between the two options which will slightly distance them and reduce the mis-click rate. Hopefully this will help.

It's really best to use the PokerStars hotkeys feature as someone else has suggested. The reason sitting out tables come to the front is to avoid people sitting out on tables without noticing this.

Your idea for stacks updating even if you have a table to the side is a nice one, and we are considering something along those lines, just further down the road.

Thanks, will consider for a future update.

Not from within PokerStars software right now.

Thanks, will look into this.

Home games for mobile devices is not planned for the near future.

The main reason not to have this default is that it would confuse casual players who single table -- instead of their change applying to all future tables, it would now apply for this session, and next time the client starts they will be back to their old table looks.

Maybe as part of a future update to the notes system, but not planned right now.

Yes, we are looking to add the additional games that we offer on Desktop client to the mobile clients as well.

Interesting suggestion, will look into this.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I play hyper turbo sngs and I would like an option on the "join" screen to keep joining new ganes of the same stake until a certain number is reached. Maybe a combobox ala "Join this type of game until x number of games have been started" where x is set to 1 as default and can be set up to 24. Plzzz.

No answer on possibly increasing the number of Zoom entries?

This is not in the plans at this point.

this would be sexy...

especially since I'm on a mac and can't use the AHK auto join options that are out there

Tried to check the last hand i played but the replayer didn't show it, I couldn't even see who my opponent was

Is this website checked by PokerStars, as they say?

Hi,

Accounts that are involved in trading T$ on a commercial basis comply with our relevant policies and procedures regarding customer identification.

Several sites automate this process for those who wish to exchange T Money. PokerStars does not endorse any T Money trading site.

To transfer T Money for cash between players, each player must submit a request via the PokerStars software. If the requests match (example: Player A requests to sell 200 T Money to Player B for $180 cash, and Player B requests to buy 200 T Money from Player A for $180 cash), the transfer is automatically completed by the Cashier. Any player trading with another player or an online site must still enter the details of the deal within the PokerStars software, thus you can be sure the transaction is completely safe and secure. If the buyer or seller does not have a sufficient balance, then the transaction simply will not be completed.

Sincerely,

Michael J
PokerStars Security Team

Hi,

Am I the only one that gets occasionally freezes on while playing zoom on stars? sometimes the all the tables freeze for a few seconds (everything else on computer works) really annoying, any idea what it can be?

This is the most important thing for me! Thanks!

Hello 2+2,

We are planning to deploy a small client update before the beginning of TCOOP this Thursday. This update lays the groundwork for more upcoming promotions in 2013 and few beta options are added that we will be looking to introduce to the majority of players with February build. Here are the highlights:

Live View for Ring Games (Beta)

We are planning to add a graphical preview of the selected ring game in the main lobby. The existing list of players would still be there as an option. Here is a screenshot of what the preview looks like:


There will be a very accessible toggle between the new graphical preview and the existing list of players – just to the right of the table name.

For now this feature is only added as Beta and to access it you need to first go to “Options” > “Lobby Display Options” and select “Enable Graphical Preview for Ring Games (Beta)”. Once this is activated, you will see the toggle to switch between the two views.

Please do send us your feedback on this new addition!


Game List Font Options (Beta)

We are looking to improve the font set up in the list of games in the client. We feel that the current set up is good, but could be updated to improve readability, especially for casual players. To this end, we are planning to change the default look while preserving the option to see things exactly as they look today.

As the first step, we are adding three new font set ups that you can try out and tell us what you like best. You can change the font set up from “View” > “Game List Font Options (Beta)”. The new options are:

• “Microsoft Sans Serif with Row Padding” – this is the current font with few pixels of added row padding to aid readability.
• “Utah” – this a set up that uses the Utah font. Utah is a relatively new font that is designed to be narrow but at the same time very readable.
• “Arial” – this is a set up with the Arial font.

For each of the set ups you can adjust the font size up and down to your liking from "View" > "Text Size".

We would love to hear from you what you find best from the offered choices. Keep in mind that while we might change the default, we will keep the option to switch back to today’s set up.

Preferred Seat Enhancements

We are enhancing the Preferred Seat functionality slightly. In addition to updating the graphics to the Nova theme, we are also adding two new options: “Auto-center me at ring game tables” and “Auto-center me at tournament tables”. If checked, each option will automatically seat you in the bottom center seat for the respective game type, unless you already have a Preferred Seat setting for a specific layout. For themes that don’t have a bottom center seat, you will be seated in the seat on the right of the bottom center of the table.

We will also make the option for tournaments on by default, while the one for ring games will be off by default.

Speed Filter Changes

In line with the changes to table speed posted here, the ring game filters will not have a “Speed” check box anymore. Same applies to Easy Seat. You can read more about those changes and discuss them in the thread linked above.

Enhancing the Groups Feature for Ring Games (TestPokerStars only for now)

We are adding different views for the ring game lobbies – this is an enhancement of the “Groups” feature that exists today. The changes for now are only deployed to TestPokerStars and we will be looking to add them to the clients in late February.

In short, we are introducing the notion of “Views” in the ring game lobby and will offer three views:

• Table View – this is the same view as today where all tables are shown in a single list.
• Group View – this is similar to today’s Group view – tables of the same type are grouped together and you can click a “Find Me A Seat” button to play at a table of this type. Here is a screen grab:
  
  
  
  
  
• Combo View – this view merges the above two views – you see a condensed version of the Group View and once you select a group you see all the tables within this group. Here is a screenshot:
  
  
  

We hope you will try out these different views and give us feedback on them, and how they can be improved.

Note: The above changes would only take effect once your gaming client has been updated, which could happen at different times for different players. Please ensure you are running PokerStarsUpdate.exe to get the update.

So is this PokerStars 7 via the back-door? or cherry picked features after alpha testing?
not snippy, just curious.

Please create an option to turn off all popup windows, like the "registered" window after registering for a hyper sng. It's annoying that I need to install 3th party software to get rid of it.

Another request is to create an option to auto-close + open window at the same size and location as the previous one when a rematch is accepted. Of course is a new game on the "same" table also OK.

i want to change back to old fonts but cant find it, where can I go back to the old font (which i personally like way more btw)

Is the new client open for public testing?

thanks.

Any news on ZOOM tournaments?

We feel those are features that will bring value to players, hence we want to release them as soon as they are ready.

We don't want to simply turn off the "registered" dialog as then players will lose the confirmation that money has been debited from their accounts. We could think of some other solution though where the confirmation is presented in a less obtrusive way that does not require interaction from the user to dismiss.

Will keep in mind your suggestion for the rematch user flow improvement.

"Microsoft Sans Serif (default)" is the equivalent of the old font set up. Which ones did you try that you did not like?

I am not sure what you mean by new client. If you mean PokerStars 7, then no. If you mean the updates that I posted about above, then those are getting deployed to players this week. So far we have deployed .EU and Mac .COM clients. .COM Windows is planned for later today.

Yes, we did an initial set of Beta tests and are deploying some fixes with this client update. We will then do another set of Beta tournaments and see if everything is running smoothly. At that point, we will see about when we will deploy more.
