Important: E-mail pokerstars about SnG changes.

[Deuce2High]

Dear PokerStars,

I have been a member of your site for some time but until now I have predominantly played on PartyPoker. The reason is because I liked their high-stakes sit n gos structure a little bit better and because I got rakeback. Now that I am playing on Stars I do have some recommendations for your higher stakes games....

1) Add $1000 Turbo SnGs. More rake for you guys and more games for me.

2) Remove one of the 100-200 levels so the tournaments play a little faster. The 100-200 25 ante level is a good transition from 50-100 to 200-400/25 and should be the one to stay, in my opinion.

3) Please provide an option for me to disable the lobby pop-up at the start of a tournament, because when I am playing on many tables they clutter my screen and I am always closing them out.

4) Please deal out the cards faster when players are all-in.


I really love the site and software and I appreciate you taking the time to take my recommendations into consideration.

Mario



Edit: This isn't meant to be a form e-mail. Some may not agree with what I recommended. But just something to work from.

Great email. I also think its important to add a level time clock to the screen. I like to know exactly how much time is left in each level.

Also, I remember Lee saying that PS likes to deal out cards slowly to add more dramatic effect, kinda like how they do on TV. I hate it.

This is the only non reasonable request because it involves a massive change in the way the game is played. Although many regular players moving over from party would want this, I think that there are a lot of people that do not want this change and there is not a compelling reason why pokerstars would feel the need to change it.

you think if we piss them off enough they will create a way for us to get rakeback?

[curtains]

Didnt they just create a virtual rakeback type of bonus in their VIP store?

Dear Deuce,

While you liked the Party structure better and liked the fact that you got rakeback there, we have a couple things to say to you:

1) WatchagonnadoaboutitnowbiatchPartyisbusto

"Stars Support"

Something like $1500 for 100K FPPS?

there's no "virtual rakeback" it's quite blatant. you play, you get points you can turn points in to stuff, the stuff is worth money. some of the things are things like gift certificates, that are very clearly worth dollar amounts. i think they might have even put cash in the store.

do you get it in $$$, or do you get it in goods?
