Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

I have not been in contact with Daniel Negreanu since Niagara, where he still seemed open to getting things done for the site immediately if he felt it was right and got the go ahead.

I still feel like there a few things to add to the site in regards to MSNL and HSNL cash game play that would be beneficial, and I would like to hear your suggestions in the hopes that this thread gets forwarded to Negreanu. He hasn't been playing 100/200 NL on Stars lately, so this seems to be the only way.

So, here is what I feel is a necessity:

- HU cashgames for 25/50 and 10/20 NLHE and PLO

Here are random things I thought of that are not a necessity, but deserve to be looked into:

- spreading cashgames SSNL through HSNL which involve an ante
- getting 6max "deep" tables spread at lower stakes than 25/50
- forcing a player to have the minimum buyin for a game to select the "open seat" option

and here are things that are totally random:

- an advanced software option that would allow a player to top off their stack whenever it dipped below 100bb
- mississippi straddles
- half PLH, half PLO games

Please add more suggestions (providing they are good) or voice support for something you see and approve of.

If this thread gets enough traffic we can shoot it over to Daniel and have him look it over and test some stuff out, now that the 25/50 deep 6max games have been running for a while and seem to get good traffic.

i PMd him about the option to auto add on to 100 bbs and he said he loved the idea but he didnt know if the site would love it but that he would see what he could do

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

this is an aside, but for now I would like it if nobody send PM's. lets just focus on this thread, then we can PM the link to DN.

No 10bb stacks. Jesus it tilts me so much.

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

omg ante games please. deep games are cool and all, but the number one thing that needs to be done is increase the time that one can come back with less chips. make it 6 hours or something. no one will notice except for a select few at 2+2.

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

I would really like them to think about a new interface. Not really a feature as much as an overhaul, but the whole font/style/colors of the site really get me down.

It would also be sweet if it showed players cards once people were allin.

These are the only two things that I prefer about Full Tilt.

Every site has this but pokerstars. You can play HU 5k SNGs, or 40k NL/PLO, or 1k/2k limit but you can't play 25/50 at a HU only table. good stuff.

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

Haven't really played on Stars in a while, butif they haven't already, they need to address the shortstacker issue. So, Stars should,

-Increase the min buyin to 40bb
-Increase the wait time between rejoining a table and getting to buy in for whatever you want

I also think it would be great is they have an auto top-off feature where your stack could not automatically be refilled to 100BBs if it dropped below.

ante is a good idea, topping off 100BB stacks is not

i'm not against it, but i am sure pokerstars will be. anything that makes the fish go broke faster is bad for the site.

plus it's easy to tell who's a pro on a new site - whoever's topping off relentlessly.

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

you can top off with one click of the button using AHK. how much easier do you guys need it?

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

stop people from ratholing/shortstacking. this is #1 above anything as far as i'm concerned, the prevalance of shortstackers is growing and that will kill the games faster than anything else. a simple increase to 40bb minimum at the no-limit tables would be great.

straddles (mississippi and/or regular) would be sweet. the thing to do for this would be have a checkbox like the "auto post" box so it doesn't slow down game play everytime someone is utg/btn and has the option.

turn the cards up when you're all-in. i never realized how nice this was until i started playing at fulltilt.

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

a good filter?? cmon stars, the one now works, just let us choose limits too...

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

kinda radical but games with a cap, like on full tilt, except a 100BB cap, and a 100BB MINIMUM ALSO, required to be dealt in... you could also have games with 50BB's in play or 500BB's... whatever, making sure everyone is on a level playing field.

a bet pot button would be nice

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

the games are slightly worse on every site with a bet pot button IMO.

Apparently there is some contingent of mouth-breathers who prefer it the way it is.

join waitlist 1 click (like full tilt)

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

custom filter for the lobby would be nice. just let you add whatever games you want across NL, FL, Omaha, etc. by stakes, by number of seats, etc. so easy to create and soooooo nice.

agree, the lobby is terrible imo

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

The biggy for me is to not allow people to sit when they don't have the minimum buyin.

This makes really ridiculous suckouts 100x worse though.

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

If the cards turned over when people were all-in I think I'd live about 3 years longer.

Please help me.

it makes people play better, generally. this was certainly true on UB back in the day.

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

okay, lets get further commenting on:

- games with an ante
- lobby filters, please elaborate

again i think the only real *necessity* is the heads up games at 10/20 and 25/50

It gives awful players the ability to size their bets somewhat correctly without even thinking about it and just hitting a button.

The easiest change for them to make would simply be to have it exactly the same as the filter now but add another set of checkboxes for the various game levels.

So I could select the All tab on NL/PL holdem and then filter out by stakes, max players, table speed, disconnect protect.

What would be really awesome would be to add a tab right at the top along with holdem/omaha/stud etc that is called custom and let you specify exactly what cash games you want.

So you could click that and it is showing FL Hold em, Omaha, Horse etc. On this view you would need a game type column added to the detail window.

Re: Thread for suggestions on new things to add to PokerStars thru DN
 

i agree with skier about 6 hour wait before returning to a table with a fresh stack. i prefer this over raising the min buy in so fish can still buy in for 20bb. raising min buy in to 30-40 bb would still be very good though

-hu tables for higher stakes
-deep tables for stakes below 25/50
-what everyone has been saying for custom lobby. i would love this
-auto rebuy option for 100bbs. i know there is an AHK script but [censored] it, this is easier =]

no bet pot button plz k thx
