On top of the filters I mentioned before it would also be nice if the lobbies never opened if you registered for games from the main client window

I like this idea.

Another thing I'd like to see is a display somewhere on the table of the buy-in and and number players. I play both $16s through $60s and 6-man through 180-man S&Gs at the same time. It would be nice not to have to click on the lobby to know what I'm playing.

1) Deep Stacked SNGs. Perhaps 3000+ starting chips, 15+ minute levels, no antes. Note these are NOT designed to be profitable for 20-tabling pushbots. You'd probably complain their hourly rate is too small. But the idea of an "elimination cash game" where you get to play deep stacked and still knock people off seems fun. Perhaps at the higher levels it could be more profitable than typical SNGs: if you're deepstacked the whole time, there is a higher skill aspect which could allow for considerably more than rake-beating ROIs to exist, making up for the extra time they take.

2) Like mentioned before, 10x BB SNGs as a contrast. If SNGs are designed to mainly be based around pushbotting, why do there have to be levels where they play basically like a cash game? Make the whole thing basically a pushfest by say, starting the thing off at the 50/100 level. Maybe with an ante of 10 right off the bat.

3) Rake at the micros is way too high. Yes, I understand you'd want to incentive people to play at the higher rake producing games. But having rake on $1s DOUBLE the standard low stakes rake is taking it too far. $1 + 0.15 is a reasonable compromise.

4) The gap between standard 9 man micro stakes SNGs is too big - $1 quintupling to $5. At least one more level in between would be good. Maybe a 9 man regular $3 + 0.40, precedent taken from from the 10 man turbo. $2.20 + 0.30 maybe? Just something to reduce the size of the gulf, which is no more than 2x the level anywhere else.

5) Super micro stakes something? Let some fish (maybe future sharks) who got a tiny cash in a freeroll play something other than a big MTT (which you add money to incidently, so it's not like you seemed concerned about rake with these). Maybe... a $0.20 + 0.05 45 man or similar so they can win a few dollars. Give them more of an opportunity to attempt a Chris Ferguson-style zero to hero dream.

remove level 5(75/150) level 6(100-200) and i will never play sngs on another site
10 players also

[saddu]

i saw that recently full tilt made other promotions like the "The Iron Man Challenge" in addiction to rake back and sometimes i thinks leaderboards bonus (stngo madness).
Pokerstars have to wake up if don't want to be eat in sit and go market.What beleve u guys?

One thing I always thought was a bit awkward is the big jump from $6.5 to $16 making it tough for bankroll builders to move quickly up. Add a $10+0.7 SnG or something, a 2.5x buyin jump doesn't make sense.

Good idea and I'm totally OK with that

I would love an "ALL IN" button.
This would be just pure gold!

Also a "I hate poker_in_pb" button.

[Eosinophil]

I would like to reiterate again [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Heads Up 0.01/0.02 or 0.02/0.04 Cash Games would be AMAZING!
Also, $1 HU Sit and Gos

Some people feel like they need some practice with Heads Up before they are comfortable moving up to the lowest HU which is currently .25/.5 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] and $2 for SnG's which isn't that bad... but again, more variety the better

Also, it seems evident from the posts that Pokerstars' competition is Full Tilt, and in the SnG aspect, is getting mashed by FullTilt, both due to Lower Rake (as a result of the 27% rakeback) and more choices in SnG Buy-In.

So... Lower Rake and More Game Choices!
