    Maybe I just haven't FT'd a stars tourney lately and I'm slow, but ft'd one tonight and noticed a Deal Making option located on the Info tab. Is this new?

    Awesome, I haven't been playing tourneys but glad they added this so people don't have to sit out waiting for support to come to the FT when they want to make a deal.

    yeh it's been there bout a month but then they took it away again. was about time they got it!

    they may have taken it away because the MODS time was being wasted. At first he would come then ask what deal we wanted. then few weeks later he would come and ask ppl to AGREE to a deal before he would even start talking about what sort of deal. so perhaps ppl were clicking it, arguing for a while then not dealing at all... is it back again?

    i think the party/tilt deal system is good. i don't think it really needs a mod. just a chat box and different options (split, ICM etc) controlled by the cl.

    also its rather hidden in the info box?

    Yes! Finally! Hopefully its something similar to FTP/party system. Im glad to see they got it in place for the WCOOP. We dont need another disaster like last year were people lost entire timebanks.

    its in the info box? thats beyond dumb. it should be right on the screen. but yeah, this further shows how bad a run ive had lately that i had no idea about this lol. definitely look forward to using it. its a must have for any poker site that allows players to make deals. i know stars support is quick at responding to deal requests, but the time it takes to send them a message is a huge distraction while youre at a final table, especially as it gets short handed and there are more hands per minute

    this...ft had the best for deal making. If you click deal on stars in the info tab, it still doesn't show on your screen letting ur opponet know that your interested in making a deal.

    deal making wasnt there today. maybe they were just testing it out...

    dont think it really matters if u can see how many players will deal or not. just need it to pause properly rather than some players sitting in, some sitting out and total confusion in general.

    i think when they launch it officially ppl will here about it...

    i was chat banned so when they were talking about a deal i couldn't say yes, i ticked the box but they didn't because i couldn't agree to it in the chat box.......then i got shafted and finished 4th - and then they made the deal, pissed me off no end!

    Tilt had the deal making in their software before stars did. The only thing I didn't like about the deal making was when some greedy guy wouldn't go by icm. This usually boiled my blood and I would reject the deal because of their greed. It took Stars a really long time to get deal making added to their software. I hope in the future there will be a site that is better then Stars.
