    Hey Guys,

    Wanted to pass along what all was included in the March 11th update.

    1. The new hand for hand logic that was applied last update has been corrected. Hand for hand will now only occur on the bubble and for the final table for cash prizes. Tournaments that award anything other than cash, will now have the old logic applied.

    2. Spotlight: We added a feature that will bring a spotlight to the player whose turn it is to act.

    3. Default Buy-in / Auto Top Off: This is for our ring game players. Default Buy-in allows players to set their buy-in by default based on the big blind. Any time they sit at a table, and the buy-in window appears, their pre-selected buy-in will appear in the 'other' amount. Auto Re-buy also the player to set a predetermined amount, so that when they are stacked, they will re-buy to that amount without missing a hand. Auto Top Off allows the player to top off their stack any time they get below their re-buy amount.

    4. Filter Enhancements: Filters should now remove all games that you un-check. Meaning, that if you only want to see normal speed games only, you un-check all other types of games. This will remove any normal speed games that have other features enabled on the table.

    Please let me know if you see any issues with these updates. Again, thank you for your help and suggestions.

    Regards,

    APJohn

    anyways to fix your pop to front feature for people that stack tables? It constantly pops active tabes to front not giving you a chance to act on the previous table that needed action. Basically stealing focus everytime a new table requires action and you have several of them that requires action

    Hey,

    I will look into the way our pop to front logic works. I agree that it can be quite frustrating when you have multiple tables requiring action.

    APJohn-

    Please address these:

    1) Be able to combine Tourney Dollars with Cash to buyin to tournaments.

    2) Saw some new tourneys last night which looked good. Please add some Headsup MTT Shootouts with a guarantee (Maybe a 30, 50 and 100$ buyin at 3 different times)

    Hey,

    We are working on the logic that will allow players to buy-in to tournaments with cash, tournament dollars and points. I will let you know when we have released this feature. I will pass along your tournament suggestion to the department that schedules them. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Regards,

    I agree with Mlennox about fixing the pop to front feature for the tables. That is a huge pain in the butt.

    Could you have someone look into the Sit Out Button feature.
    Last night I timed out it turned the sit out on for me automatically. When I clicked sit in it worked but it still kept insta folding my hands. I'd have to close out of the table quickly and then get back into it. Happened too a couple people I played against also.

    John,

    Like the new "Spotlight" feature. I LOVE the default buy in/auto rebuy/auto top off. It is so nice to finally have this. It makes playing cash games much more efficient. One thing I would still like to see is a "save table layout" feature like stars and FTP have. Having to re-adjust multiple tables while you are playing others is a pain. Keep up the good work and look forward to you guys making the site even better....

    This too, the sng regeneration is sooo slow. Can this be made quicker. Once I register for a sng, it takes on avg about 30 seconds to 1 minute for a new sng of the same type to create itself.

    Good stuff John! I'm liking the progress AP and esp. you, have made with the community. I'm probably the only one that still uses the classic view and am quite bummed you guys got rid of it but its a minor detail. The lobby is still slow, however, and I think the flash banner is not necessary. Getting rid of it would probably make things faster.

    Edit: I think it would be cool to have an option to auto timebank or click to timebank in the options menu as well.

    How about time bank in numeric seconds? Also, being able to click a button for additional time would be nice, as oppose to having no control over it at all.

    Tournaments that can be added that would be poplular imo include a few Turbo 22 33 55 mtts throughout the late afternoon. There are basically no worthwhile tourneys past 11pm. I know traffic slows down during these times but maybe it is because there ARE NO TOURNEYS TO PLAY!!!

    I love the new features. Now what I desperately want is to be given longer time to sit out at cash tables before being booted. Anytime I'm 12-tabling and I have to take a bathroom break, I'm always kicked off of at least a few tables; and whenever I'm at a 4-max table taking a 2 minute break isn't even an option. It is ridiculous that we don't get at least 5 minutes before getting kicked off.

    I noticed Saturday there was no PLO $215 MTT. I know that tournament has had decent overlays since it started but adding a major PLO weekly would still be good for the site. Maybe just follow the format of the PLO8 weekly and bring it back at $162 with a lower guarantee and a similar amount of satellites.... hope to see some kind of big weekly PLO from you guys in the future. Thanks.
