Major PokerStars Client Update

The changes made are summarised below:

Session Options: An icon is added to your tables to access the Session Options easily. The options you can choose there range from Sit out on all tables and Sit out next Big Blind on all tables to Resume and Sit out next Big Blind on all tables and close. Your selection will be reflected by the colour and shape of the table play/pause icon: green, yellow or red.

Auto Buy-in: If enabled, it spares you setting the amount of buy-in each time you play. You only need to adjust it to your preference once and it does the rest so your seating procedure will be shorter. Should you want to change it every once in a while, the traditional dialog remains available, of course.

Seat me: This automatically sits you on one of the empty seats at a table; together with Auto Buy-in, you can get into the action with only one click from the main lobby.

Sit out next big blind: The check box at fast tables has been changed and it has been added to the regular ones as well.

Stack tables layout: As an addition to Cascade and Tile, you can now Stack your tables as well (shortcut: Ctrl+8).

Average Stack column: In the ring game lobby, it shows the average stack of the players at the table.

No Chat in table tooltip: You can display No Chat at the tables should you have lost your chat privileges.

Notes reliability: Your notes are saved in a way so that they will not be lost if the client is closed “in a non-conventional way.”

Remove from all waiting lists button: A new option in the waiting list dialog.

Link to last hand when dealing stops: The Previous link remains active and takes you to the last complete(!) hand once the dealing stops.

Display Bet Amounts defaults to on: This option will now be enabled by default.

Advanced action Check moved: The Check advanced action has been replaced to avoid miss-clicks so now it does not overlap the Call [Amount] check box.

Tournament Tickets dialog improvements: The Requests/Tournament Tickets window has been improved in a number of ways.
