Default 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
