As suggested have started this thread for suggestions on Genting Poker whether the software or support. (Not for whinges, bad beats etc)
Hopefully constructive suggestions which can be reviewed by Genting.
My first query is that I can see a heading of Free live event satellites. I click on it and it shows tournaments which cost money for example £10 + 1. Can you clarify what Free means in this context? |

| It relates to a way we promote certain live event sats, you can qualify for free if you play the Stage 1 freerolls....we used to move the paid for Super Sat into another lobby, but players actually complained because they couldn't find it. It therefore has become an odd name that has stuck....a bit like Carphone Warehouse, that doesn't sell Carphones, and isn't a Warehouse.... |

I beg to differ. They sell carphone kits and they do have warehouses.
Times are a changing, maybe Free should mean for nothing? |

Couple of questions -
How many hands would it take to clear the $2000 bonus playing for example 200nl 6max?
Is it possible to do player to player transfers on this skin? |

Have not played enough yet to know much about the software
but i find the lobby most clumsy
and i wish i had a few table skins to choose from, im more a black table type, so the red just does not suit my eyes at all, being a recreational player i am less likely to play on a site too often if it does not allow me to change graphics to suit my eye
oh and the $1 stt has a 20% rake... i find this disgusting that the poorer players get raked more, its not very encouraging
what i would like to see, are what tilt had... super turbos, and what stars are introducing hyper turbos, these formats are very popluar and will draw in players for sure |

I never understood why anyone would want to settle for something anti-poker as Turbo-formats, let alone Super or Hyper-Turbo.
Why not Super Hyper Nitro Warp Speed Sit & Go's? Let's say, 150 starting chips and 15 seconds blind levels, so that by the time they're dealing the river card in the first 5-way all-in hand, you're already halfway through level 3. That's about as close as you could come to a multi-player fruit machine.
At 888 they offer All-In Heads-up Sit&Go's. They do draw a card fist to determine the button before they deal the hand; the highest card gets the button. So basically they could just stop there. Actually, that's already a casino table game itself, someone named it Casino War.

i have had this before on here, and you can think what you like as we all have opinions, but the bottom line is this
if you study super turbos(like any other format) then you can profit with comfort, for me the beauty of the super turbos was that i could play so many in a very short time span. example 8 tabling for 2 hours with average length of 12 mins per stt, the variance is obviously very swingy, and you see so many bad beats, its like poker condensed, but for me the bottom line was that i managed to maintain an Roi around 10% and i found them fun too, they are far from bingo games, as most who dont play them think they are, the format is slightly different with Stars hyper turbos and i am currently studying them closely before i jump in and play, but that is only a matter of time

Tried Will Hill very briefly previously. The main things missing, for me, is game variety.
I'll miss the mixed games and Stud Hi Lo.
Better than Boss and 888 but not a lot in it.

i agree with you on the stud games , cards way too small , i have to have table enlarged all the time when i play stud which is not a good situation when multi tabling . |

| Being a MTT multi-tabler, I find all the boxes that pop up infuriating. I think you have to click through three of the bloody things before you can get to your table! And, annoyingly, when you get moved seats the table closes and opens up somewhere else on your desktop! |
