Keith,

can you tell us please when you fix this?
dont want to install win10 everytime after you have an update, only for trying out if the tile function is working like in win 8.1.

thanks a lot

Not sure I agree with the relevance of any of this.

1. In the UK's national lottery your odds are fixed: there are ~13.5M combinations of the six balls; you win if yours comes up. Number of players doesn't matter save for how split the jackpot will be.

2. Pretty sure nowhere near 38M people in the UK play the lottery!

3. I suggest that a prize of £1M is FAR more attractive than having a Stars table named after you for a short period. Do people even look at table names? Does anyone care?

4. I said "zero chance" rather than "a tiny chance" very deliberately. Casual players by definition don't put in the volume that would be needed to win (unless by most profitable you mean highest winrate, and then you would need a minimum number of qualifying hands to rule out people who get lucky and win 3 stacks with their second hand, and then you're back into a discussion of volume).

FWIW I agree that promotions to encourage casual / recreational players are a great thing for everyone. I just don't think your idea would encourage anyone to play at all. You may be encouraged to play more by the prospect of short-lived fame in the name of a table, but I think you're in a very small minority.

Contender for worst idea on the internet ever?

I kinda like the idea. I think it would be cool to sit and play at "Table krazykarter: $0.01/$0.02". Unfortunately, as others have touched on, I don't see casual or recreational players (including myself) ever winning something like this.

I have not had any problems with Pokerstars what so ever after upgrading to Win 10, and i also really like the new tile(gap between windows).

Further to this point, if you're interested, you can listen to PokerStars Steve addressing the FTP changes from a personal / observer perspective on today's Pokercast episode #374:

Steve joins the pokercast about 45:00 minutes in and discusses FTP at 58:15.

Thanks for your comments!

They are star names. I did a quick search on Wikipedia for list of proper star names, and found matches for Achird, Algieba, Alrami, Betelgeuse, Cassiopeia, Centaurus, Cephiei, Cygni, etc. Many of the table names are stars not listed on that Wikipedia page but come from other star charts (as Wikipedia only lists a few hundred of the tens of thousands of named stars). I don't know which charts are used, but I'm pretty sure most if not all table names come from stars - naturally!

Thanks to all for your comments - I shared the idea with the team. One of the team remarked that something similar was done at FTP a while back as a promo (you could buy your own table, named after you, using FPP), and it completely cluttered the lobby by the end of its original run. It's probably not something we'll do, but we appreciate the suggestion, especially for ideas intended to increase engagement by rec players.

I know it's in the queue to be fixed, but don't have a date I can share at this time. However, I when I produce the release notes for build that has this corrected, it will be noted - so you'll know whether it's in the update or not.

Minor annoyance I have found after upgrading to Windows 10...

When you use your mouse wheel for the bet slider, you have to have the cursor actually over the bet box, rather than just have the table selected and have the cursor anywhere.

I can see your point - we're looking into it. Submit and Cancel are standard buttons with well understood functions, but I can see that in this specific case it could be confusing when Cancel doesn't cancel a buy/sell request, and instead cancels the pending action to cancel a buy/sell request.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Yes, there is. Among other security considerations, this restriction ensures that players are not juggling more transactions than those for which they have funds, or are not offering the same T Money to several buyers.

Hmm. I just checked with Win7, and it works the same way (must have cursor over the bet slider box for wheel to affect the slider). I'll check with the team about what was intended, but which OS did you upgrade from that worked differently?

Thanks - I presume you mean for Cash Games (as we have Pot Limit Badugi in SNG and tournaments). I have passed your request to the team.

Yeah seems like a cool idea until 'Ib4nGeDuRm0Ther' is the most winning player.

Windows 8.1, pretty sure that if the table window is selected, you could have the cursor anywhere and scroll it to bet size, much easier that way imo.

No - no, keep the ideas coming, Odite! Can't have all of them stick, but still want to hear 'em.

Well I do have one more

Every server restart morning I see the Skype group chats im part of flood in with comments about how they did not know it was restart day or why they can not log in, then you can also see the Pokerstars down or lagging thread blow up with players confused why they can not gain access. I understand you can add your self to the VIP mailing list to get an email the night before however I highly doubt alot of other players know of this feature.
Is there anything stopping the VIP department sending out a mass email to all customers telling them about the server restart the night before? Or have an opt in feature via the client that you can tick to be added to the list.

I also miss the server restart/turbo night alot due to lack of knowledge/communication regarding the timing.

Interesting points I'll bring them up with the team - thanks!

they do have this feature, for those who dont know:

It should be more obvious. A folder in the options called 'Email Subscriptions' would be useful.

Also, re: the named tables idea, couldn't it be handed out at random at qualifying tables?

Thanks for the post about Star Codes, 'Chips'.

In PS7, the 'Star Code' function is located in the Tools app, rather than Account (that particular bit of instruction is out of date as we are still in the process of re-writing website content to align with PS7 design).

To enter a Star Code, go to Tools > Star Code, type your code into the field and click 'Submit':



You will get a popup indicating that the request is being processed:



And finally another popup confirming that the Star Code was accepted. (Obviously those popups are residual PS6 functions ).



If you have any issues, please contact Support for further assistance with Star Codes.
