Changes to cash games
Here are a few changes I would like to see to the cash tables, I think all other players would agree but please post your thoughts too.
1) Buyins- all tables 20bb min 100bb max,(can we have suggested amount to 100bb not 40bb)
2) Types of games - Get rid of all fixed limit and pot limit games no one plays them just clutters lobby up.
3) Blind levels - Get rid of all different levels e.g. 80nl,100nl,200nl,300nl,400nl,500nl. I would suggest having 5NL,10NL,20NL,50NL,100NL,200NL,500NL,1000NL. Just daft having so small increments.
4) When people sit out either they have lost there stack or taking a break can we make it a standard 5 min, theres not enough time to have a break and people who have lost their stack seem to be left there ages.

I for one am happy as the cash tables are why change it dtw
when a player has lost his stack the top up page should auto pop up and not just sat out, he or she then has 30 seconds to reload or they will be stood from the table.
I think the problem here is that too any people click the x at the top right without standing which sits you in until you get booted.
I say when you click the x you stand
Great thread!
And that's exactly how to present a "wish list" Thread, nice one ajs.
I'll send it to the Suits right away, & again on Monday after some more feedback is Posted.
a few 50bb min tables so you can avoid the shorties.
Why make the buy-ins at all tables this restrictive? A range of buy-in tables at each level (all clearly indicated) would surely be preferable so that those who prefer to play short and those who prefer to play deep can choose. I see nothing to be gained by forcing people who like to play short to play on another site.
I can't say that I'm bothered about the "suggested amount" either - it's simple enough to click on "maximum".
2) Types of games - Get rid of all fixed limit and pot limit games no one plays them just clutters lobby up.
These types of games can easily be removed from your personal lobby by using the filters in the lobby. It would be useful if all selected filters were retained between sessions (if this is not already the case).
3) Blind levels - Get rid of all different levels e.g. 80nl,100nl,200nl,300nl,400nl,500nl. I would suggest having 5NL,10NL,20NL,50NL,100NL,200NL,500NL,1000NL. Just daft having so small increments.
Again, I see nothing to be gained from this. Just because you choose not to play at other levels doesn't mean that those who choose to should be penalised. Many people like to work their way up through the levels and would feel restricted if they had to make significant step-ups in levels.
4) When people sit out either they have lost there stack or taking a break can we make it a standard 5 min, theres not enough time to have a break and people who have lost their stack seem to be left there ages.
Removing people who have lost their stack in a more timely manner would be useful.
If the break were longer than 5 minutes then I wonder if it would be abused by people sitting out and occupying a chair. I can see no reason for people doing this but some poker players are strange.
An automatic top-up facility would be great.
1) Reason I suggested this is to stop people buying in for 10 bb. Short stackers are really important for the game but for example last night I sat at 200nl with £200 3 people joined me with £20, it just aint poker.
2) Not really that bothered about this was just an idea I thought would tidy things up.
3) I play 80 to 500nl. There are two reasons for this idea, firstly to make the blinds easy round numbers just to make life easier and secondly I try to get higher games going at the site and I think if there wasnt so many different levels people would get in the habbit of playing 500nl and we could get a few tables going everyday, rather than 1 day 1 300nl table next 1 400nl table etc etc.
1) I know that "shorties" annoy some (mainly higher stakes) players. Having some tables where players can't buy in for less than 100bb sounds beneficial but making all tables like this would be far too restrictive in my opinion. I'm more than happy to see someone pull up with £10/£20 at 50NL late at night (and re-buy often!).
3) I think that removing levels like 30NL & 40NL would be counter-productive. I know that there is very little difference between 40NL and 50NL but some players are just happier to play at those levels. I can't comment on 300NL & 400NL since it is extremely unlikely that you will find me playing those stakes and I haven't noticed if you tend to get just 1 or 2 players sitting at each level.
Hi ajs & Co.
Just to let you know, several of the Suits have been up in Glasgow all weekend, & so offline, (we were up there for the SPT), but I received a note from them this morning to say they were taking a look at the ideas suggested by you & others, which I had forwarded to them on Friday. More news from them - or myself - if & when I get it.
They made the same point as me, though - it was a perfectly presented feedback thread, & they asked me to pass on their thanks.
2. have a few tables with 50bb minimum buy in would also be a good idea.
3. If you lose your stack, the auto top up page should pop straight up and u have say 30 secs to a minute to reload, or you are stood from the table. Instead of being sat out for ages which really gets on everyones t1ts!
4. Also on the sit an goes, when you finish a heads up game at say £50 + 2.50 it pops up saying would you like to register for another. When you press yes, it may register you for a turbocharged £50 and not a standard husng that you played previous.
5. Another good addition that another site i play has, is the ability to tag players. Say champion, fish, rock, on tilt etc... So then when you log on, you can check your list and see who and what tables certain players are playing on.
6. Another good suggestion i read above was to be able to ignore a certain player chat, instead of having to turn chat off completely if some tool is being disruptive. This would be a very good idea.
For example you can have a $5 10 steater sitngo with 15min levels and winner takes all.
I've seen a few of the forum regulars have been doing it with the sitngo's on sky already (i have never been invited) but I think it would be good if you fancied a bit of a long game with your friends.
I know it isnt cash tables. Sorry.
By the way, I got your PM - identically - EIGHT times!
It is cos I'm old?
