Cant see it being implemented as it would be pointless to recreational players but thought I would throw it out there.

You can make as many custom note tags as you want, this option is essentially already available

That wasn't what I suggested, I know you can make as many tags as you like but you can only assign one color tag per player. A star system would essentially be like having two color tags per player as half color rings. With the star system you could rate a players skill ability 1 through to 5 stars.

Its another form of note taking but more visual on the table due to the limitation of only being able to use one color tag per player so rather than having to type the note out and read the note while playing your tag is visually there but in a more unique way.

Im over thinking again but what ever

When a table is closed (happens quite often with the new autoclose system on 5/10+) I would like a feature that you can enable to close these tables automatically.

Instead of having to close a 'dead' table manually.

I never want to have a table open without seats, that noone can seat. Its the table that says this table is now closed or something similar.

If its confusing for some people that its autoclosed I suggest that the feature have to be turned on.

Would be a nice improvment for multitablers, esp on mid-highstakes.

Thanks for getting back to me Stefan.

Not over thinking, very good suggestion.

Hello 2+2,

We are in the process of deploying a small client update this week. Here is a list of the most notable items:

Re-entry tournaments (Beta)

We are introducing re-entry tournaments to the PokerStars tournaments offering. In re-entry tournaments, when you bust during late registration, you are given the option to re-enter the tournament. Unlike in a rebuy, you will not keep your seat (and there is no add-on period); instead, you are given a completely new tournament entry. Initially we will start with a small Beta offering of those tournaments until we verify that everything is functioning properly.

New card decks (Beta)

We've introduced two new card decks. They are accessible via Table Themes. Here are screenshots of the new decks:





Mac Client and Cocoa API

The PokerStars.NET Mac Cocoa client rollout has gone rather smoothly, so we are deploying the new Cocoa Mac client to several real money licenses this month. If all goes well, it will be deployed to .COM and .EU next month. In the Cocoa client there is initial Retina support for text and native OS controls.

Other bug fixes and improvements
  • Beta Sounds: A fix for the ante sound being played too many times each hand.
  • A fix for some graphical issues with full hole cards obscuring the dealer button in themes derived from the Classic theme.
  • A fix for a problem with tournaments not auto-closing when a player busts at the same time the table breaks.
  • Other smaller fixes and tweaks.

Note: Most of 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.

We are looking into the issue where some items are not showing in the VIP Store on Estonian and EU clients.

Love the new look of the Decks, the Re-entry tournaments (Beta) sounds interesting!

Greetings,

I have my "Bet Slider" options configured at 50%, 70% and 100%. I am playing NLHE $0.01 / $0.02.

If the pot is $0.06 and I hit the 50% button, I will launch a $0.02 bet. If the pot is $0.05 and I hit the 70% button I will launch a $0.02 bet.

This is Pokerstars, not some cheeseball Poker skin. I'm surprised to see this problem.

please keep coming out with more customized decks and chips please! Alot of us spend ours in front of our computer playing so it's nice having something good to look at so I really appreciate you guys doing this! I already have mods on mine but I'd rather have you guys personally offer it to the players. Can't you guys just buy all of Bar Nothings work?

ETA on the new client? Tournament lobby is a complete mess and scares away beginners.

I am still having this issue after the update. I play 18man 3.50 turbos if it helps.

A couple of things I would like to see, personally.

- In Zoom, if I click "Quick fold" and the split second I do it becomes my turn to act, the quick fold action doesn't register and will leave me hanging with the Fold, Call, Raise options. When multitabling it can cause me to sit at that table for a few seconds without realising, as I usually click Quick Fold and move on to the next table.

- It'd be great if hovering over a players name/stack size/pod (whatever you want to call it) showed you the notes you had on said player. Just makes it slightly easier than hovering over the smaller Note icon.

Somewhere in the options menu you can uncheck "round bets to nearest bb/sb" I'm not at my PC atm so I don't know exactly where it is but it's there.

breaking tables still aren't auto-closing after update.
[PokerStars] Software Improvement Thread Quote

^ This. At first I thought it still happens (@ 180s and MTTs, .EU) because I didn't update, but apparently that's not the case.

Thanks for the other bugfixes though, and the new card decks. They're great.

FWIW I played a Zoom MTT yesterday, for the first time, and I noticed there isn't a possibility to fold & watch. Either that's just me somehow having messed up with that feature with my table mods, or it really just isn't available. In the latter case I strongly suggest to add said feature. Not that I miss it actually but I think rec players will.

A suggestion re: re-entry MTTs: Please make sure we can keep track of our entries, preferrably by assigning consecutive tourney IDs for each entry. If that's not possible please at least make sure the auto-saved tourney summaries list the number of entries. On a somewhat related note, bumping this:

So thanks for that, but why do auto-saved TS lack this line?

Also, please add a similar line to KO tourneys' TS listing the bounties collected, and please list TLB prizes in the cashier summary.

TIA.
