I am starting a list of things that I think would make life easier as a Cake player and things I think will help Cake in the long run. Please feel free to add anything you would like to see changed at Cake or wish to communicate to them. Maybe they will listen, maybe they won't but I think these are all things that are legit. I definitely don't want to turn this into a Cake hate thing. Only productive stuff please.

* Get technical issues straightened out. This has to be first an far most. In the last couple of days I can't tell you how many times I have heard players on the table start complaing of something stopped working for them and the most common thing you hear is, "close the application and come back in. It will fix your problem." Sure enough they do that, and it does. Not a good thing when this is common conversation on the tables.

* Make resizing windows more fluid. Currently it has to redraw the whole window and there is a delay waiting for it to happen and you can't act on tables when it is your turn to act while waiting. I am certain this isn't a a "lack" of technology on my end since I have pretty close to the latest and greatest in technology. My video card and system are screaming, and doesn't happen on other sites. Really a hassle when you are <SPAN id=misspell-0 class=mark>multitabling</SPAN>.

* More <SPAN id=misspell-1 class=mark>SnG's</SPAN> at micro levels. For $3 dollars and under, there isn't much of an option except Kamikaze's and those are for bingo players.

* Real Time stats in tournament windows and lobbies (and throughout site actually). There is all kinds of delays waiting for tourney windows to update, the amount of active players on tables, the amount of players registered on a table for <SPAN id=misspell-3 class=mark>sng</SPAN>, etc.

* Populating multiple tables at same buy-in for <SPAN id=misspell-4 class=mark>SnG's</SPAN>. When a "one" player registers for a buy-in on a <SPAN id=misspell-5 class=mark>SnG</SPAN>, immediately put up another table so they can register on multiple tables at the same buy-in. Again, when <SPAN id=misspell-6 class=mark>multitabling</SPAN>, having to wait for a table to fill, then the delay in the above paragraph, then a table at the same buy-in populating again is a hassle. Much nicer if we could register for the same buy-in fee multiple times at once when grinding.

* Forced focus to active window. This one is probably the biggest hassle in the world to me, especially those of us that take notes like crazy. When typing in a note window or chat window and it is your turn to act on another table, it breaks away from your current typing. When <SPAN id=misspell-7 class=mark>multitabling</SPAN> and trying to keep up with notes, this is probably one of my biggest nightmares! Nothing frustrates me more than this alone!!!

* Notes shows on mouse over on player. Double clicking on players, scrolling through notes, is also a hassle when <SPAN id=misspell-8 class=mark>multitabling</SPAN>. Enough said.

* Synchronized Breaks.

* Forced to click on "Sit In" when tourney first pops up. First off, there isn't much of a delay from when the window first pops up to the cards dealt. If you aren't fast enough and click on the "Sit In" button and <SPAN id=misspell-10 class=mark>UTG</SPAN> or close to it, you miss your hand. I really don't understand the logic for this one at all. If you are <SPAN id=misspell-11 class=mark>multitabling</SPAN>, just happened to re-size a screen and get caught in this misfire, you miss your first hand. I have lost Aces and Kings this way. Make it so you automatically join the table and if not active within 30 seconds or so, then you are forced to sit out. Not the other way around.

* Tournament & <SPAN id=misspell-14 class=mark>SnG</SPAN> leader boards. I know there is issues because people want to change their name all the time, but can't something be put together for people that don't care to change their name. You have bonuses for cash game grinders, but nothing for Tourneys and <SPAN id=misspell-16 class=mark>SnG</SPAN> players. Why not have something for those who do care about their stats and don't plan on changing their name all the time??

* Allow use of <SPAN id=misspell-17 class=mark>AHK</SPAN> scripts. For those of us that want to have stuff like auto window position and the like. the more windows we are running, more rake you are making.

* Allow use of Mods. Allow people to change the appearance to whatever they like and enjoy. Especially for those who really want to hang out there and design it to colors, images, etc... that is appealing to them.

* Being able to see players that are sitting out in "Simple" mode. I really don't care for all the avatars around the table and would prefer to use the "Simple" mode but you can't see when people are sitting out like you can in classic mode. Have something for simple mode so you can tell the same thing. In fact, I would rather see the avatars you all have go away all together and allow people to put up their own personal pic/avatar.

* <SPAN id=misspell-19 class=mark>SnG</SPAN> Lobby list populate by dollar amount. This one is just a total pet peeve of mine and kind of silly, but when I click on <SPAN id=misspell-20 class=mark>SnG</SPAN> tab, I wish the default was just to populate the list by "buy-in" price like any other normal window is.

* Create some forums for Cake poker. A place where people could have more direct access to one another, support, tech support, card room manager, etc...

* Poker Tracker / <SPAN id=misspell-21 class=mark>Holdem</SPAN> Manager compatible. I am sure this one will never get anywhere, but as a avid poker tracker user, it would really be nice to see this work on your site. I am sure this alone would generate so much more traffic for you guys.

* Don't close tourney and SnG windows 20 seconds after you get knocked out.
This is actually a big one for two reasons. First, I can't get enough time to write notes on players that I wanted to follow up on or make on the last hand that I got knocked out on. I have to be super fast to get as little as I can in before the window is gone in SnG's. A lot of times I might shove all in and have action on another window and miss what happened. Now not only can I make my final notes, but I can't look at the hand history to see what happened if I was paying attention to another table. Same goes with tournaments. Even if you have the lobby open, you can't return to the table you just got knocked out of once it closes. This is a major flaw in my opinion. Leave it to the user to close the table at will.

* Show how much money is currently in the prize pool for rebuys. Most important for satellites that are paying out seats instead of cash. This way a player can decide if it's close to adding a seat and worth putting some extra money into the prize pool to boost it up.

* Pop up box stating how much you won on tourney exit. How about just a little pop up box that states how much you won on your exit of a tourney?

not to sound like a smart arse, but if there are that many things fucked with it, why do u play there?

cosign all of this 100% sans the PTracker part, that's what they use to separate them from other rooms.

Do cashouts come quickly? Is it just checks or do they have wire transfers? Thanks.

I like playing there, but the software needs some serious work.
