Default New \"fast\" tables at stars

I'm not playing very long at stars, just since partypoker has been closed for US players, but until today I always saw 'normal' tables and the high speed tables. Since today there are also 'fast' tables but I really haven't noticed a difference with the high speed tables. I did notice that PAHUD doesnt seem to recognize those tables, which is pretty annoying.

Maybe it has something to do with the request for faster turn/river when someone is all in, I can't check because I only play limit.

So has anyone more info on this?

I clicked a seat at a "fast" table and I got the same pop-up message as the High-Speed tables (including the phrase "high speed table"

The high speed tables give you less time to act and the cards being displayed at showdown is shorter as well. There might be some other factors.

Yea i noticed that too, but if they changed nothing, why the hell would they just call those tables different :/

By the way I made it to platinumstar in just 4 days of playing, is there some kind of promo going that you get more FPP these days or is it really not that difficult to reach suprnova?

It's good to see that they are doing something about the old "party is/was faster" gripe

I thingk there are about 500 supernovas, judging by how many show up for the freerolls.

Elky was the first SN, it took him about 2 weeks and that was befor they gave a second point for $3 rake.

By the way, Josh already put a beta version of PAHUD out that works with the new fast tables!

And yes I play 4/6 table 5/10$ SH Limit, because you could guess that, it's one of the faster ways to get those points I assume?

Stars CS says they are the same like high speed tables:

They are the same thing -- we just renamed the "high speed" tables to the
shorter moniker "fast".
