I will check with the relevant team and let you know why RIT is not on lower stakes ZOOM games.

That would be wonderful!!
No, the observing of ZOOM pools was unrelated to the milestones hands and does not help ZOOM to participate in milestone hands.

PokerStars Stefan, thank you so much for the replies, and for looking further into Run It Twice (for 2nl-10nl) - much appreciated!!

in fact i think there are a lot of players who will used it.

it is about all players who don't want shortstakers at their table.
they could filter exactly what is the shortest stack "allowed" when search for a table

(e.g. i play 40-100bb tables but i would set this filter to 60/70bb)

each player will be able to play by filtering only tables suitable for him.
everyone who want this already do it by manually table-selecting!

why this cannot be automated by your amazing Ring Game Filter?

Anyone know if there is a way to stop the T lobby opening up when you load a table to rail?

When I search for a player and want to load numerous of their tables up to rail its pretty annoying that all the T lobbys pop up also, first making a big mess on the screen and second annoying to individually close each one

nope, even the [ ] Auto open Tourney Lobby option doesn't prevent that as the find a player > go there feature takes you direct to the respective tourney lobby as part of the process of opening their table.

What are Pokerstars' thoughts on the past suggestion (I believe this has been brought up before in discussions) of allowing players only to sit out globally, and not for individual tables? You could let people leave tables by clicking the "sit out next bb" and autoclosing the table when this happens, an option already in the software. All the functionality is already there. I cannot see any downsides, unless you happen to be one of those douchebags leeching off the few guys who will start/maintain games.
Thoughts pokerstars?

Thoughts pokerstars?
First. Imagine you play HU vs fish (not that hard to imagine). Fish busts in the first hand (not that hard either). Should they be obliged to play another hand vs you?

Second. Sitout all solution brings another problems. There are lots of people who wouldn't play HU, but would start a 3-max game. If there's only two of them, how would they wait for third without an option to sitout on one table?

The current solution is to take a sreenshot of someone sitouting after the fish goes afk (or camping in a running game) and send it to Stars Security team. The offender will be warned and might be banned for 24h in case they don't obey that rule after a warning.

I take your point but it's a pretty easy and obvious solution to let them quit if they bust. The idea is to prevent people exploiting the inequality in blinds by grimming. I don't think this is an issue vs recreational players. I mean maybe it's a storm in a teacup but I see others complain about this.

a) I don't see many tables that fill from 2 players sitting out. For all I know this is more common at highstakes.
b) Stars has their table starter system implemented, they could use that to allow players to start tables 3 handed if you join a pool

I was not aware of this. But then this is why I'm asking the questions.

I'm not saying these suggestions are perfect, or even good, I'm wondering if they're closer to perfect than the current system. I'm sure Stars knows better than I do, and they may have already dismissed these ideas, but as a player I think these would improve my experience. Especially the sit out all or sit out none.

So one could lose virtually all of their chips on the first hand then just decide to d/c their own internet to get the buy in back?

AND IF THE SNG HAS NOT STARTED

to clarify, it's clearly to protect stars from refund requests from players who disconnect from the server and are therefore unable to unregister from SNGs that then proceed to load. If they blind out and demand their money back Stars are pretty much obliged to refund them rather than risk losing business over it. So now if you disconnect from the server for 10 seconds, you'll be unregged from all SNGs so you won't have to email support and they wont have to refund you.

Pretty sure there's an option to opt out of this auto-unreg feature. But by doing so, you'll be waiving your right to demand refunds.

The way I read this is, yes they will unregister you from all SNGs that have yet to start if you d/c but also ones that have already started within 60 seconds... 'and if that SNG has not started', to prevent players abusing this bug in hyper sattys:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...abuse-1264930/

So you could be playing a hyper get down to 10 chips within the time frame and just decide to d/c our self for a refund? But I am half asleep so guess I am interpreting this wrong.

You won't be unregistered if the sng already started. "And" means two parts of the sentence must be true at the same time.

I downloaded PokerStars for my iPad so I could play Razz/Stud. I do not see those games appearing. Am I doing something wrong or can you not play them on the ipad? Sad

a scroll lock option for the chat would be good. FTP already has it and it is easier to read the chat window when there is much text and it does not jump down after 2 seconds.

Whats up with SNG lobbies opening in different random spots on my screen when I'm registering? One lobby opens in middle of screen, next lobby opens on top right of screen etc etc. Any way to get them to open in one particular spot only?

You can stop them opening all together if you like by:

Options > Advanced Multi Table Options > Untick: Auto open Tournament lobby

Looking through a lot of the posts itt, I always answer a lot of them by saying "ffs, just go through options and fix that yourself". Looks like I shoulda followed my own advice

Thanks, never even knew that option was in there.

Perhaps this doesn't belong ITT but..

How can certain players constantly sit down only at the tables I'm sitting at, even though I've checked "Hide from search feature" ?
I don't mind this specific situation since I'm up against the player in question, but it does feel a bit awkward, as if others players also follow with him sometimes..

PS. What's new with latest update (today) ?

Anyone having any issues with the latest update related to Mac's?

Seem to be able to play normal cash tables fine, but with zoom it instantly crashes.

Any suggestions? Have emailed PS support.
