Change that to 'rubber chicken' and I completely agree!


Who doesn't want a rubber chicken as an avatar? :P
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

you can change the time settings to 'Australia Central Standard Time' too on stars now. Very handy.

that is soooo awesome. i hate when you would have to quickly try and work it out in your head, and then be an hour out because of daylight saving etc

You can already do it.

You have the choice of GMT or Local.



It just doesn't display properly a lot of the time so you don't necessarily know it's even there.


That was there pre-update too.

One thing I've found that could be changed is the betting amount when you are in a blind.

Typing in the value of what you wish to bet gets added on to what you already have out as a blind. This is unbelievably annoying.

Would much prefer you just type in an amount that you wish to bet and that's the amount that goes out there - it's definitely quicker to do it that way.

It's the same when you have your minimum bet amount preset (ie 4x BB), all it does is ADD that preset amount on top of your blind instead of putting out that preset amount. This seems to defeat the purpose of having a preset amount if it's only going to be different if you're in a blind.


Another thing I found was when you first sit at a cash table you get asked for your buyin amount and also you have the option to top up automatically.

However, it doesn't top up when you get down to that amount, it tops up TO that amount once you've lost your chips.

Would rather see us be able to have it automatically top up to our buyin amount once we have gone down to a certain level.

Currently if you want to top up to your buyin amount you have to do it manually or lose all of your chips so it'll happen automatically.

Playing the lanch chance tourney to get into the poker ashes final on sunday. 888 were offering 50 seats into the tourney, for a 1c buy in.

There were a total of 50 rego's so i got a ticket for 1c. yay.


Looks like there will be about 150 players in the final tourney, so a 1 in 150 chance of going to england to play poker with warney is pretty good imo.


Anyone else got a ticket??
