*Official* Suggestions for Stars Thread

[Teodomiro]

Hi Lee,

I have had some success for a couple of years at multitable tournaments, but have not yet made "the leap". I am currently between poker sites, and have not opened an account anywhere yet. With that in mind, here are my thoughts:

First, as others have so correctly said, focus on the casual players. The pros will follow the fish, even if they have to endure a text interface. (Please note that the fish might not like the text interface, though.)

Second, take care of the pros, too. Several people have asked you to automate the final table deal making process, and I must agree. I was frankly shocked the other night, watching the final table in a tournament. They actually had to email somebody to come pause the game. Computers are really neat, Lee, and they can be programmed to automatically perform many such tasks. (Although, as some people have pointed out, in an all-in situation, there is ample time to compose and send an email, given the speed at which the final cards are dealt.) I think the fish would be more comfortable with this arrangement as well. Go look at Party to see what it should be like.

What people have said about bonuses is absolutely correct. Pros like them, fish like them. Slam dunk.

I want to be able to change my name from time to time. Party had a 6-month timer on this, which seems entirely adequate.

And while I do appreciate the fact that you are here listening, that is measured. We know how much money Poker Stars is making, and we know the potential for more. So I accept NO EXCUSES on these items. Truly, I don't wish to appear rude, but while the owners are hopping around in their private converted 747s shopping for islands, if they could call the programmers and tell them to get it in gear, we would appreciate it.

Thanks for listening.
