no observer chat during deal making

[/ QUOTE ]
Though i imagine this would be hard to implant.

[/ QUOTE ]

not really, do something like what party does and open an "empty" table where only the people making the deal can chat on

or do whatever they do that stops chat during the bubble of satellites

- Auto add-on in rebuuy tournaments. OR a popup saying it's time to addon. ok, maybe i'm the only one that's stupid and forgets it all the time, but it would be most appreciated.

Great idea. I'd say in about 10% of the rebuy tournaments I play I forget to add on. Generally because the hand ends at my table and the rebuy period hasn't started yet so I go surf the web or whatever and then just forget about adding on; can also happen when multitabling. Maybe it should just allow add-ons as soon as the hand is finished at your table. Alternatively, a pop-up when there is 2 minutes left in the add-on period, for those players who have not yet added on, would work well.

- Time bank restored for FT. See this happen kinda often that people complain about having no timebank by the time it's at the FT. It would be nice if it was restored so you could have it for your most important decisions.

Good idea; I have some other ideas of how the time bank system could be improved. Basically I think that time should be added to your time bank each hour, but then maxed out at some point.

For example, instead of starting the tournament with 60 seconds in the time bank, I think it would be better to start with 30 seconds, and then have 20 seconds added at each break, but never to exceed 90 seconds total.

-Fix the blind movement to have a dead-button system the same as in b&m tournaments. It's just ridiculous that you can skip your big blind when the player on your right busts out when you're UTG.

-Add more information to the hand history of tournament hands: total players remaining, total chips in play, and perhaps the current rank of the player requesting the hand history (or maybe the current rank of all players at the table).

-The rebuy process can be frustrating. For example, suppose you start the hand with 1550 chips, post your big blind of 100, and someone raises, someone else calls, and you fold. Now that you are under 1500 you should be able to rebuy immediately. But the software doesn't let you: you have to wait until the hand is completed even though you are not in the hand.

-Also there should be a double-rebuy button when you have 0 chips.

-The "feature" of disabling chat when a player is all-in is incredibly annoying. I'm not really convinced that it is necessary to prevent collusion or whatever. I'd say that the negative aspects of this feature far outweigh any true increase in game integrity. At the very least, your chat should not just disappear into the ether, but be stored and then appear in the chat box after the hand (when it can't do any "harm").

More turbo cash MTTs. Right now there is one at 3 PM and one at 10:39 PM, and both of them are $5.50s. Maybe like a $22 at 6 PM?

[M.B.E.]

Could probably do a few things to attract more players to the weekly $200+15 Limit Omaha-8 tourney. For example:

-put a guarantee on the prize pool, something like $30K

-run more low-buyin satellites; I'd suggest a $6.50 turbo doubleshootout where the last two players at the final table each get a $215 entry.

i'm sure you're aware that you can turn off observor chat. Why would they fix something you can do yourself already?
