POST YOUR SUGGESTIONS: Player meeting Oct 2014

Enjoy the free trip, these meetings are no longer useful, the election thread on 2p2 just showed what an absolute farce this is.

The election process on 2+2 does not relate to the usefulness of the meetings.

I did enjoy the trip.

A visible direct result of the meetings: There are now $2k HU PLO SNGs being offered on .eu/.com

There are many more small results. In general, they take our player input to extend their own view and knowledge. But we have no right to request any change, we can merely give our view.

If you expect PokerStars to make any major changes to their 9 different clients in 30ish jurisdictions in 28ish languages because someone had a quick idea on the forums you are out of luck.

Reduced rake on spin and gos. Most hyper turbo formats have ~2% rake while spin and go has 4% rake.

Plus, currently people fuck up their Christmas and New Years to get those last VPP.

Well you do get a few thousand dollars to wipe your tears with if that's the case, so i doubt those going for SNE can really complain ♦.

What i'm wondering is are there even any games running in pounds? There's always an option for it in the filters, but i've never seen a cashgame run in pounds. It would be nice if they would add them with the € tables as well. Basically you can play a higher stake for the softness of a lower one.

The only pound cash game at Stars is £0.10/0.25 NLHE, also, there are some regional MTTs in pounds.

There are no other pound games because the lobby would otherwise be too cluttered and players would be too lost among options. This reasoning has led to 'consolidation of offering' (removal of all dollar and then most pound tables) on iPoker.

yeah are more of these money grabs going to be coming? Every move after the acquisition is trending down to hurting this sites player base. .

The most disgraceful part of this latest news is that a simple email explaining these changes has not been sent to the players.

I mean we get news pieces like this about how great things are for Amaya - why don't we get something that is important to us and our money.

Ridiculous.

wasn't discussed, no

Really poor change and communications. Hits me personally as well. I will try to use my newly gained contacts to create some pressure.. but not really anything I can do about it.

I sent them and email questioning them about this. I got a generic template reply where they said their rates were competitive...
I've offered to process all their currency conversions for less than half of what they are currently doing. Doubt I'll get a reply to that one...

Really not liking this new Amaya pokerstars.

auto time bank feature would be nice.

even larger fonts for stacks, and possibility to use BB view.

ability to make multiple stacks.

better enforcement of collusion rings, and ofc lower rake at micros

Auto time bank: I think they love their only autotimebank when money was comitted setting.

Fonts: Do you want an extra setting? The basic font to increase? Please state exactly want you want, how and where.

Multiple Stacks: I have no idea what you could possibly mean, sorry, please elaborate.

Enforcement: Any actionable advice? I don't know anything about their current policies and workflows. Where and what do you want to see change?

Lower rake: They are very on top of rake structure, doubt I can accomplish too much there I'm afraid.

good call

Ya, I'm gonna guess yesterday's news was not discussed with you at the meetings?
