Next Steps
Posted By: Ryan at 5:36 AM, Tuesday August 4, 2009 EDT
Everyone has been asking me to post something about what's next for the site. I'd like to start slowly addressing what are thought to be the sites major bugs. I'd also like to start doing small features on a regular basis.

So, to get me caught up on everything, please post you most important request for dev work here.

PS. Thanks for your patience. My job and family have taken quite a lot of my attention lately.

While certain new features may be a great idea, I think one of the more pressing issues is server stability and bug fixes. The site lately, has been riddled with tournament problems, lag, and javascript errors which crash your browser, refill time errors, etc. The game play needs stability before it needs added functionality. It's a great site and format. Added bells and whistles mean nothing if you can't even sit at the table properly or have to refresh to fix a bug causing you to sit out of a hand.

Thanks for the effort Ryan. GL with the family.

Apologies if this turns out to be a double post.

Thanks Ryan for taking the time to finally post. I understand that your job and family must come first. It's always helpful though just to get an indication that the site isnt being ignored. I shall post my thoughts a bit later about what I'd like to see and I hope other replies are of the constructive kind.

I got some requests.


1. bring back the board were we all can see our most winning/losing cards etc.

2. Bring back the old buy ins on the 1k/5k/20k blind tables or make different tables were we could sit in on a 1k blind table with 50k/100k or 100k,50k/300k. Same with 5k blind tables and so on, and maby putting 20k blind tables buy ins 1m/5m.

3. This is the most common thing that most people are complaining about. The river... example:

Starting Hand
Dealing pocket cards: [Ts, Kh]
Rigu raises $800
mike doo calls
ZBOY calls
My Friend Del calls
Dealing flop: [9d, Tc, 5s]
ZBOY checks
My Friend Del bets $800
Rigu calls
mike doo calls
ZBOY calls
Dealing turn: [Td]
ZBOY bets $200
My Friend Del calls
Rigu raises $2,400
mike doo folds
ZBOY folds
My Friend Del calls
Dealing river: [Qh]
My Friend Del bets $6,459
Rigu calls
My Friend Del shows [Jh, 8s] for a straight Queen high
Rigu shows [Ts, Kh] for three tens
My Friend Del wins main pot $24,318

These kind of things happens to much... and i mean to much. People would be happier if you would fix this, and possibly pay membership than posting hate messages on the forums and emailing you.


4. Members should get more money from refills. Why just give members 25k to start the month and ability to enter member tournaments. Give the ability to get 2.5k-5k for each refill than 1.5k.

5. Give members the ability to modify there profile looks (change there background, text size,color etc.)

I agree with Headcheese that the bugs should be fixed first and server stability is always welcome.

Sometimes you pay up for tourney and they dont start. Another bug I have seen is the incorrect card winning. Another tourney bug that happened to me is that I lost chips through a bug. I called say 200 then folded which should have left me with 1300 but I had around 300 left and also the opposite has been known to occur with people gaining chips that they should have lost.

After the bugs have been fixed, a couple of things I would like to see is for you to have a look at table balancing. A tourney has just started (Members evening 1) with 14 entrants. At the start there were 9 on one table and 5 on the other. This doesn't usually happen at the start but can happen toward the end where there can be 8 on one table and 2 on the other.The tables could be balanced every now and then (as you don't want to be constantly moving tables) so that 5 are on each.

The other thing I would like to see on the tourney info page is what the payouts will be. I have made this spreadsheet which I am sure you could incorporate the same idea into the tourney info page http://public.sheet.zoho.com/public/delboy71/tournies-7
