oh ya, I'm glad someone brought up the filters. I got sooo spoiled by party filters. It would awesome if stars added something similar.

Yes, filters for EVERYTHING. Need to see it in cash games, mtt's and sng's:

turbo
hi/lo
omaha
hold em
NL
fixed limit
Pot Limit
Rebuy
Turbo
Regular
Deep-stack
7-stud
Razz
HORSE
6-max
headsup
etc

I also like the idea of FPP's for cash available all the time in the store.

I would really like to see the structure of your speed sngs changed a little. I would at least like to see either the 100/200 or the 100/200 25 level removed. I would really like to see you copy partys structure, although I dont see the happening.

I would love to see the buyin put on the sng tables. Also, when you make the tables very small, it is quite hard to see how many chips people have. I guess if you just made the text bigger and bolder it would fix the problem.

I would really like for you guys to just get rid of the sng tourney lobbies. If you just made a table like a cash game and let players sit, it would fix a lot of problems.

I look foreward to 20 tabling the big sngs on your site in the near future.

A complete rehaul of the SNGs is a big project, but here are my ideas:

1. Only one speed of SNGs.

2. That one kind should take around 30-35 minutes on average. The most recent version of the Party 800/1000 chip game structure would be great. Quicker games=more rake for Stars and more money for sharks.

3. I'd redo the whole buyin rates to make some of the rake ratio oddities go away, but that's not as important as #1.

-get a phone number
-attract more fish
-MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO SEARCH FOR MULTIPLE PLAYERS AT ONCE LIKE PP BUDDY LIST
-i expected to be really disappointed with stars but was actually quite surprised. if you rest on your new found prominence however you will undoubtedly suffer.

I'm not trying to be greedy, but the fact of the matter is that FTP and Absolute both are willing to pay me for my business in the form of rakeback and/or bonuses. I know Stars is never going to match AP's giveaways, and I know Stars isn't going to put a regular rakeback system in place. That's cool. Stars doesn't need to match FTP/AP to get my business. The problem is thar right now Stars isn't even close to either of those two sites, which is why I'm geuinely up in the air about where I'll take my play.

If Stars could sweeten their promotions just a bit, I'd be happy. I don't really care how they do this. Partial FPPs would be fine. Monthly reloads would be fine. A good FPPs-for-cash system (not the one you're offering now; a reasonable one with maybe 1 FPP = 0.13 or 0.14) would be fine. I'm not saying you have to do all of those to get my business; just one of the above would get the job done as far as I'm concerned.

Basically, I love Stars' game selection and software. On these dimensions, Stars is head and shoulders above FTP and AP. If you could just get a little closer on the promotions end, that would make my choice of sites much easier.

Well said.

I agree 100%.

I would like to see the equivalent to the $20, 40K and the $10, 20K every night. I always played at Party and Stars, but spent most of my evenings at Party because of the tournaments. Thousands, and maybe tens of thousands of players played these and other large tournaments at Party.


The other thing that Stars needs to do is improve their lobby. They announced a tournament a couple of days ago on their tables, so I went to the lobby to take a look. I couldn’t find it. I went back to the original message, and then back to the lobby, and after looking for a minute or two, I finally found it. They have a table that shows the buy-in, but they don’t always use the space provided. Just look at their lobby and you will see a mish mesh of lines.

Great Idea for a post by the way.

1. rakeback
2. promotions to bring fish in(better game selection)
3. MUCH FASTER games, it's extremely slow coming from Party. People have like a minute each hand to make a decision. It's CRAZY. Give everyone like 10-15 seconds like Party did. Games moved much faster and means more money for Stars.
4. When I'm typing a note on someone or anything into a Stars table and it's my turn on another table it takes me there over and over so that I can never continue typing. It takes forever to keep going back and re-typing in the right box. Maybe there is something for this already??

As of right now, there's only one 6-max table each of 15/30 and 30/60 running. On average, more than half of these tables at Party were 6max. Stars already allows unlimited 6max tables at 10/20, and they are much more popular than the 10-handed ones.

Also, adding 20/40 tables would be good. Going from 15/30 to 30/60 is a bit of a big jump, and Party usually had more 20/40 than 30/60 running if I recall.

These both seem like natural changes to make once the shorthanded player base expands due to the Party influx, but I figured I'd bring it up.

2. Get rid of the bb200 25ante level in SNGs. There is no point to this level, it just makes the the 100/200 effectively twice as long as the rest.

This level is really clutch in MTTs, though.
