My Gamesgrid review, day 1

[HesseJam]

Dear Gamesgrid,

my wish list, prioritized:

- You have this (at least for me) unique table layout, where the table is quadratic and the buttons are to the right. That's something I have to get used to and I will. But it made me thinking that this would be a great opportunity to move the buttons below the table so that people with a crappy monitor like me could multitable two tables on one screen without any overlap! This would clearly set Gamesgrid apart from competitors.
I understand that the FP2001 guys would not like it because then they could no longer fit 4 tables on one screen. So, how about making this optional? I know that this is asking a lot but I think it would lure more people in.

- Please do not install a PT-friendly hand history regime. I use PT everywhere and it is a nice change to not having to use it and not worrying about that stuff and I can concentrate on real poker.

- As already said above, it is difficult to pick up when it is my turn to act. Do something about that! Popping the window, sounding an alert and maybe changing the colour of the action buttons (or make them bigger, please no flashing!) would do the trick.

- four coloured deck

- waiting list

I cannot not think of one good reason why a winning player would not want pokertracker.

One good reason: Other good players using pokertracker.

If you have good hand reading and playing pattern recognition (essential for live poker) then you have an edge on your opponents. Pokertracker levels this playing field.

- Not having to go through the ordeal to fire up the ole PT & GT+ ,
- having to tweak the PT settings after you came from a different site,
- level playing field,
- PT + GT+ + 4 tables bog down older computers,
- to train for B&M.

It's probably going to happen anyway because you'll need the multitablers to generate a lot of tables. You are not going to have a better table selection per se, but it looks better to new customers.

[HesseJam]

Another idea: Why not offer tables with and without HHs? Like Party offering tables with and without disconnect prtotect.

I think you are talking about playerview not pokertracker.

Ya you are not required to do any that. Instead you could simply wait until the end of the session, upload load your hands for your own record keeping and review.

Wouldn't you have an even greater advantage? I thought poker was a game about using as much information available to make the best decisions.

I could be wrong though as I don't rely on winning money from other good players but rather the bad ones. In this endeavour having as much information as possible seems to help.

I assume, at the moment, 90% of all player hands on GG would use PT and PV or GT+ if it was possible.
