The fold checkbox is above where the fold button appears so when tables are stacked I dont like selecting it as another table in the stack could pop to the front when the action gets to me and I'll end up folding AA. Maybe the fold checkbox could be moved up slightly so that this wouldn't happen.

i'd like to have a certain key-combination to close tournament lobbies because it's quite annoying to do it manually when you're multi-tabling hyper-turbo's

Im sure this has been suggested many times as well but just want to put it in here before i stop using TN.

Can you make it so that when i click the "go to first action table" Hotkey a table doesnt have to already be selected it wastes so much time and is an annoyance when you have your mouse doing something else or have just regged for another game, it would be better if we can just press the hotkey and it brings the table to foreground that needs action.

the client still focuses on a random table when i bust out of a tournament. It does not go to a table requiring action, it does not go to the table i just busted from but to a random table (i have not yet figured out a pattern).

This does not make any sense, could you please fix it?



I would also appreciate if we could somehow turn off that whenever we register to a tournament the general lobby pops up. This is not a big issue, as i solve it by moving it into one corner of the screen where it does not matter, but there should not be a need for this work around.


On a general note: focusing on whichever table needs attention works SO MUCH BETTER on Full Tilt (just realized it the other day when playing a few over there); could you please sit down one of your developers in front of Full Tilt and look at how they do it there?

PLEASE add courchavel hi/lo cash games. Never played it until the SCOOP tourneys and it's the funnest game ever, despite the unfortunate name. I think it could take off.

For the uninitiated, it's like just like omaha except you get 5 cards and one of the flop cards is dealt preflop. Amazing action.

It would be a really awesome addition if people could select different mp3s that people have on their computers that would play when new tourneys start. Me and my friends were just talking about how fun it'd be to have a favorite song play when the Sunday Million starts etc. Maybe add a few stock things people could choose from like the "let's get ready to rumble" guy or something.

At first it would be a relatively simple feature but it could evolve to being a built in audio player into the software where people could create playlists and listen to podcasts and stuff. People would play for hours...

Eventually down the line you could setup your own mp3 store or whatever and people could buy songs with points or money or however you set it up. The possibilities are huge.

When do I start getting my royalty checks?

They're already there, under the 5 card omaha tab. I agree hi/lo is a fantastic game and I'm sad that it looks like the action has all but dried up. Personally I wish they'd consolidate the player pools by getting rid of 5-card O8, courchevel high and the limit version of courchevel8. Don't think it'll happen though since right now there are quite a few 5-card O8 tables running and very little courchevel of any variety

In order to make sure it's the client's fault, you have to try reproducing the behavior that bothers you without the program you re using for multitabling being turned on.

PS client behavior is to take you to the table you busted out from; but if you re using a program like Tableninja, the client's behavior along with anything the program is doing might be taking you to a random table.

Stars please reconsider your stance on Auto Seating Scripts. I don't know how you don't see how bad they are for the games as they must make recreational players feel so systematically hunted or even worse cheated/botted.

yeah this. Also, regarding your other point

this is definitely because you're using an auto-reg script. It's only possible to register from the lobby, so of course the lobby comes to the front every time you register for something. My personal solution is to use one monitor for the Stars client/browser/other programs and have all my tables on the other monitor so as to avoid interference. I guess having a hotkey to minimise the main lobby (assuming it's possible, idk for sure?) would help you though.

Or if he doesn't have another monitor just drag the client below the task bar and it will not pop up as it is already 'up'

Ah, thanks. Didn't think to look under Omaha. Sucks the action is so diluted.

the satellite information window requires more information imho:


Speed/blinds**
Buy-in (rebuy, 3R1A)
FR/6-max (although usually==target format)

Currently a user would have to open each lobby just to find out the starting stack, blind structure, rebuy/freezout info etc. pfffft

** This may be published, I'll have a trawl to find out; but, is there a schedule online somewhere that lists all of the blind structures and starting stacks.

i.e PS MT-SNG/MTT hyper-rebuy Mark 4 ==
Hyper
3 min blnd levels of structure n
500 starting chips
unlimited rebuys for 30 mins
extended reg for 15 mins.

It might take a little adjusting, but if each mtt/sng had an alpha numeric, 3-4 character descriptor we could all know exactly what to expect from a glance, once we got used to a reference table of the structures.

I was going to post this but your pic is the perfect example:

Trying to register to satellites for a target tourney can be difficult when you have all the running satellites cluttering up the list.

They should be removed so players don't have to keep scrolling up and down the list on major events like SCOOP.

A valid point. I do not run TN, only HEM2. I also observe the same behaviour with no third party software running. It pops up a random table when I bust a tournament.

I am not using a script, only third party software i use is HEM2... but basically i do what you suggested and it works. You can register directly from the lobby btw.




Fun experiment the other day: i got the response from support that freezing can be caused by wireless (or sketchy internet in general) connection. I had FTP and PS running in parallel, PS froze, FTP continued without a problem.

Now even if you continue to claim its not PS-clients fault; as you obvisouly have a more stable/forgiving client in the group (FTP), please make use of that ressource and copy whatever it is that makes FTP less laggy than stars client.

I assume one is in the works.

Really, I just do not see why they did not have them to begin with honestly. It seems pretty logical rather than having to just keep hitting the next action button (fast forward ) to "play through " the whole hand or up to the point of the hand that you would like to see.

Yesterday I was watching many tables and could no longer open the lobby. Only after I closed all of them the lobby popped up and I got a message I was registered for a tourney that had already finished.

Today I got the same problem, but after closing all the tables, except the ones I was playing, I still couldn't get in the lobby. I had to CTR/ALT/DEL to be able to close the client and restart it to get in the lobby.

Hi. I mostly play Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo. I always choose different felt color for hi/lo games to avoid mistakes (I made many such mistakes before I got the idea of color change). But changing color every time manually is tedious. There should be a way to configure PS so that every new table has its theme/felt color set depending of game type.
