When will WSEX be adding a 1-1 room. I DO NOT mean sit n go tables. They need to add a 1-1 room with all fix limit games just like the 1-1 room at paradise poker. Please check out the heads up 1-1 room at Paradise poker. It's the best 1-1 room on the net. I can promise u tons of new players if you add this to your site.

And all my friends that play 1-1 are also sports betting junkies, so you can get their sports betting action also, so this can be profitable for u

I play a ton on your site and really appreciate no rake. Thank you.

In this order I would like to see:

Hand histories to HD

5 or 6 max at each level

Heads up limit and no limit tables. Rake makes it unprofitable to play heads up at low and even middle limits. With your site being rake free this is no longer a concern.

Increasing number of tables the individual player can play.

Attract more casual players.

Now that im thinking about it hand histories to the HD cant be ignored because for players that need to keep records to track their play or for tax purposes this allows a fool-proof way for them to always get it. The current way of getting hands is subject to big problems when the email-server isnt working. If you play more than 100 hands after it stops working you lose a whole bunch of hands and never see them again..

The only permenant fix to this problem is getting HHs saved to the harddrive

For U.S. tax obligations it is perfectly acceptable to not have a history of EACH hand you play.

Session results will do just fine.

You don't think that B&M professionals sit there recording each pot that they won or lost do you?


HH's on the hard-drive would be convenient and I'm not opposed to it. Just saying that 'tax purposes' is not a legitimate reason why it should be 'necessary' imo.

Do this and get rid of those cards on the bottom of the screen (and make the cards by your seat bigger). Simple but necessary changes and you'll have 2-3 times as many players.

Edit: oh, and "turn" notification must be better....too difficult to multitable.

I wasn't able to get used to it.

As another poster mentioned, it's not a 'deal-breaker' for me since I can just put some tilt-blocker windows over them.

But other potetial new players might not be as tolerant as I am about it and they might not be interested in sticking around long enough to get used to it anyway.

At least give the OPTION to turn-off those bottom cards.

On Poker4ever I believe the 'mucked hole-cards' is an option that you can activate at the bottom of the screen and I think it's pretty cool the way they do it.


Again, I already 3-table on WPEX as much as I can and the hole-card issue will have zero factor in whether I continue to do so or not.
Just saying that to SOME people it is really super-annoying and they may want to consider doing something about it.

Seeing that half the people probably hate the cards at the bottom and half like them...it should obviously be a player option in the menu, to either leave them as is or turn them off/block them.

Advertise on TV during the WSOP if you can. These games need to be loosened up.

This is really the best advice in the thread. More specifically, advertise a bunch, using crude humor, boobs, and run these ads during football games and other sporting events. The most likely targets for this kind of stuff generally sucks at poker and likes sports/sportsbetting.

Win-Win for you, 2+2ers.

Yeah, growing the player base is THE issue for me. The rest is secondary.
