ipoker improvements

bSlick

Is there an ipoker representative on this boards at all? Someone I could suggest improvements to? These are what I'm suggesting -

1). When you click "Join waiting list" you should be able to filter if you want to play on Turbo tables or not. I mean who cares if you are on a DP or Non-DP table, that option is redundant imo. It could be replaced by Turbo and Non turbo tables as a very high % of players never want to play on Turbo tables and its annoying when a table becomes available and you find out its a turbo and no good to you.

2). The settings you make in the "Join waiting list" dialog should be saved so that you don't have to select them again when you next go to it. For example, every single time I join a waiting list I have to deselect Heads up, 8 players, 10 players (and Id like to deselect EUR and GBP too but I couldn't be bothered as the effort required to click these every times is not worth it when you very rarely will get offered an EUR GBP table anyway). It would be very simple to just save the last used settings and have them as the default for the next time the "Join waiting list" dialog is used. It's pretty bad by usability standards when you have to make 5-7 clicks to join a waiting list when it could be done in 2.

Grafter

Not sure which skin you're playing on.

Both points have been addressed in the filters of the new version that Paddy Power, Boylepoker, Titan, William Hill etc are already running.

Edit : I'm confused. If you can see the GBP and EUR tables you're on the new software already?

Edit (again) : Yep, set your filters and they're remembered, then just ignore the waiting list options as you've already filtered out the tables you don't want.

bSlick

I'm running vc poker which has been updated to the latest ipoker client with the new lobby layout. The filters are not remembered for me. I deselect the options I dont want, wait for a table, join it, and then when I go to join the waiting list again all the options are selected again.

And my first point hasn't been addressed either, you can't select Turbo-Non Turbo tables in the waiting list dialog options.

I think what you are talking about is the lobby filters. I am talking about the waiting list filters. I'm having to make the exact same 5-7 clicks every time I join a wait-list when it could and should be done in 2.

Grafter

Yes, I'm talking about the lobby filters, which show as "more filters" or "filters are on".

Use these to select what type of tables you do or don't want, including turbo or non turbo and your choices do get remembered.

The list of available tables will then only include the tables that you like and not the ones you don't, so you don't need to filter them again in the join waiting list dialog.

Do you use a mod on you VC client? If so does it work with the newly updated client?

I go to the Join Waiting list dialog and click first available because when I'm multitabling and want to bring up a load of tables I don't want to be clicking on them one by one in the lobby and joining the waiting list for each one individually. When you click first available the options you select are not remembered and you dont get a choice to deselect turbo tables. You have to keep making the same 5-7 clicks every single time.

I use minimaxmod and it works fine with the udpate.

Is there any way to get rid of the focus steal when playing a number of tables? As I'm typing a note on a player and action occurs on another table and then i'm typing in the chat window of another table?

Anyway of preventing this? (I'm using Vista, HEM and tablehighlighter.ahk, btw)

Another thing that annoys me about the software is the amount of pointless windows I need to click ok on when I'm starting a SnG, surely they can just get rid of these? Any scripts out there to auto click these?

Cheers,
Dave

pooman

Any chance of a decent random card generator?

Or does the underdog ALWAYS win all in preflop?


EDIT: AA vs A5 all in preflop... 565 flop.. hmmm

bSlick

Bumping this thread as this is really getting to me lately. Is no-one else annoyed when multitabling that you have to keep clicking the same boxes every time in the Join Waiting List dialog? Is no-one else annoyed that when you join a waiting list for certain types of tables you dont get to filter out Turbo tables and then naturally you get offered a Turbo table which you then have to refuse and go and repeat the process again?

Treehouse72

bSlick, you have to filter out Turbo tables BEFORE you click "Join Waiting List". If you do that (from the main "Filters" option just under the "Quick Seat" tab), then the turbo tables should disappear from the lobby entirely.

Ok i just played my first five minutes since the update.

I hate the new resizable tables.

1. Cant turn of avatars.

2. Windows have to be manually brought to mini view everytime.

These are my two main pronblems. I have just bought a new laptop and had no problem playing 9 tables with small overlap last week.

I really couldnt handle 6 tables just there under this new update.

Am i alone?

At least we can now select the same seat for each table - its a good job the next MMM update will allow us to disable the avatars

I've just tried out the new tables there now on ipoker but there are a few strange things happening when i change seats though, like for example here:





As you can see from the second pic there are 6 players, but only 4 are in view - and no matter where i move to i can never see all of us and when i do move seat - i'm the only one moving - as in i can move to the person on my left's left - while he doesn't - the play goes as normal but its messed up.

Anyone else havin this problem?

Playtech cant force you to go live. We could have been live since last week but there is a VERY nasty bug in the current release and we are waiting for a fix on it before we consider our next move.

Skins decisions to go live is probably down to their tolerance of bugs/annoyances in the software.

I couldnt see the pics cos you seemed to post them wrong but basically what you reported in the BBV at the weekend. I recreated the same bug myself.

Im going to move for the month i think. Im currently taking some of my money elsewhere. Not really even sure where.

GJP havent updated the skin yet so i could spend a week or two there. Everest is another possibility just to see what its like.

I prefer i poker at the end of the day so il be back once its playable.

Im even in bad humour over the fact ive missed 7 or 8 hours play last night and today due to not been able to get money moved around.

Il most likely have to use personal money to fund my new site tomorrow.

Can you see theres problems for multi tablers with the new update?

I would consider the update as been nice for a 1 or 2 table player as everything looks a lot prettier.

yes - I can show you any one of 50 emails dating back to maybe August where I am raising issues with card sizes and layout for this release. I was, and remain still, very extreme in my views.

My point is one of sharing information with customer base proactively

Looks like the guy behind minimaxmod is gonna make a mod for the new software too, hopefully it wont be too long after the software goes live on all sites. http://minimaxmod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=90

Mullicker

MMM guy said he could have something ready by next weekend when i asked on 2+2.

What I really wanna know is what's ipoker's connection to the Klu Klux Klan?

applehunter

Why can't I minimise the table to the desktop like any other windows window.

I am not a fan of these "improvements" at all.

Was planning on leaving ipoker anyway so it doesnt really make much of a difference.

This also annoys me, but that bug is more annoyin as you don't have a clue when a person is knocked out unless you check the history.

Boosh

Please God i hope they're getting rid of the 8 million pop ups when you get moved tables in a tournie.

*You are about to be moved table*

*You are about to join a new table*

*Your Table is almost ready*

*Any second now*

*Wait for it*

*Welcome to your new table*

Table opens on other side of screen and quickly breaks

*You are about to be moved table*

tipp86

I tried playing again tonight and just playing 2 tables is so bad even just way harder to follow action.

72over

I'm pretty much done grinding ipoker for the moment bar a few fav mtts. Too many issues with the update to mention tbh.

bSlick

The retards developing the ipoker software should be taken out and shot.

Suited

The ipoker guys probably think we are hard bunch to please, but I have to say I find the software really aesthetically unpleasing, reminds me of the betfair software. Clunky and hard to follow the action.

Did the developers of the software do ANY research? They had an opportunity to catch up with Full Tilt and Pstars and have pretty much blown it.

Hornswoggl

If you have over 4 tables open with the new software, then it becomes very hard to see the cards clearly and after a while i feel it puts a bad strain on your eyes

bazwin

Yes I have to agree with you there, Clunky and hard to follow the action especially when someone is betting on a 9 table....There's a few other small issues like the heads up games which I play alot. It has been switched the opposite way around meaning the chips/ blind structures etc overlap the other persons bet. Lastly I prefer to have the chat bar at the right handside of the table like the old way......you don't seem to have the option now...........ok I better stop givin out.........:)

phantom_lord

can someone not just show them full tilit?

Suited

keep on getting locked out! Arghhhhhh

Didn't they test the f**king software

joke. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Grafter

Not playing on ipoker much and not planning to, but hopefully constructive thoughts (some may be just Boyle ie colour scheme and others more general).

1. Where's the button? I want it big and red (or yellow, or something)

2a. Get the avatars off the table a bit and the still in the hand players cards properly on the table, not in the avatars armpit.

2b. Small blue cardbackgrounds only just on/kinda near blue table = fail. See 2a.

2c. There is no c apart from an overall meh at the grey/green avatar border, but it's brutally hard to glance at a table and assess how many players are still in, position etc.

3. Chipstacks really, really need to be inside the avatar "box". The graphically top 3 players at a full ring table currently have their stacks over the line and in play, right above the potsize :mad:

HTH

This! and the million buttons you need to press when registering for tourneys.

*Register*

*Press Register again*

*Press OK as you have now been registered*

*The tourney that you have registered for is now starting, press OK*

*Errr, please press OK again for no apparent reason*

Anyone else have problems seeing how many fcukers are in the hand when your playing.
Scrap the avatars imo....or at least give the option

good news for people on the avatars is that in an interim release it will now be possible to switch them all off at once.

Chucky the tree

Partypoker has now taken over Ipoker as 3rd most popular site for the first time since 2008. Surprised they didn't learn from Ongame about what happens when you roll out horrible unfinished software.

I'm a broken record but whatever...

Bring back the mini-mode and introduce synchronized mtt breaks asap(aswell as sync'ing them with ftp n stars) ftw.

im in no particular rush tbh. I got confirmation this morning that they have a fix for the diplay issues which Ace2007 showed above in this thread, Im waiting for them to recompile the client in preview so I can test again. If I really wanted to I figure I could get live by Thursday, I dont think I will go live on Thursday though.
