Feel free to add other changes you would like to see to the poker tables

It's great that the staff/crew have been working on all of these new ideas and improvements, I applaud them for their efforts and time.
What I would really like to see changed is the poker tables since I spend a lot of time there. There are so many improvements needed that it will
take a while to list them all,so if I miss any, feel free to add them.

Recently, I was involved in a complaint about the out come of a certain poker hand. The player that made the complaint didn't know the ranking of winning hands but still they made a complaint.
The result was that a certain amount of my cash is gone, because of the complaint and with no explanation other than the payout was wrong. There was no reference made to what the player's hand was in comparison to mine, no date as to when the hand was played or any other reference that allowed me to understand why I was relieved of my money.
I have to depend on the staff to do the right thing without me being able to defend what happened or refute the judgment. I don't get to know what hand it was. This makes me question how the staff came to the conclusion that I was the one who should lose money. IF they can go back into the archives and find the error to make the decision then they should also be able to show me the archives so that I can understand and not feel like a victim. If it was a screen shot then at least show me that and how do we know for sure it was not an altered screen shot? That is just one thing that should be adressed.

Here are some other things:
1. I'll start with the time outs
a. If you are on table and you time out it should not be an automatic loss it should be based on the out come of the hand
and the cash awarded based on how much you had bet and if you would have won that hand or not.
Nothing like getting on a 100 million dollar table go all in and then time out make back only to see that you would have won the hand.

2. It would be nice to have additional buttons that are separate from the chat box.
a. Check/fold
b. Call
c. Sit out button that last 3 hands so you can go to the bathroom
d. Bet/raise with a box to put in the amount

3. The chat box Should state what ever the card is as it is dealt in addition to stating
a. Round 2: The flop, the first three community board cards are now shown. Example: Flop AH, 2C, 9D
b. Round 3: The turn, the fourth community board card is now shown. Example: Turn: 9H
c. Round 4: The river, the fifth community board card is now shown. Example: River 2H
d. You should be able to scroll down the chat box for as long as you are playing
on that table and see what cards were dealt and what action occurred or at least for the last 4 - 5 hands.
e. Each hand should be numbered so that if there is a complaint on the way it was paid out or whatever complaint might come up,
the staff has a reference to save them time researching it and when a complaint is logged it would then
be required to have this number to resolve what ever the issue/hand/payout was.
f. Each table should have a number to further help with this process.

thats about all i could come up with but i am sure there are other improvements that are needed.

Would these be suggestions, by any chance? If so, I know a great place they could go.

Fully agree with all these changes. The reason I'm not playing poker here is the terrible controls and chatbox. It's just stupid. Combined with the unreasonable Timeout rules, and the many bugs with wrong payout, the slow speed/reaction client-server, this makes Torn Poker utter crap.

These suggested changes, would definitely lighten up Poker, and I'd probably consider playing Poker here.

These are good suggestions.

I agree with the changes. I also agree that this discussion should be moved to a suitable location.

I have 1 suggestion: The new improved "Bet/raise with a box to put in the amount" should also have a slider to quickly slide to a certain amount of money for a bet/raise. In multiples of 50 or 100.

I'd like to see hand histories, similar to game histories with Chess. Standard bet/raise buttons would be nice: 1BB, 3 BB, 5BB, 10BB, 1/2 pot, 3/4 pot, pot, all-in (with confirmation).

Also you cant forget the constant bugs in poker. After the flop, the button (or if the button folded, the next person to the right) always acts last. Often this is not the case--horridly, the button often acts first.

Also, the constant but less important issue of the players paying blinds multiple times in a row. This happens when a player takes a seat that is somewhere between the big blind, small blind, and button. It seems big blind/small blind/button are cycled based on the button.

If there are three players (A,B,C), A is the big blind, B is the small blind, and C is the button. During that hand, player A is forced to pay the big blind and player B is forced to pay the small blind. If player D sits down between players B and C before the end of that hand, the next hand player D will be the button, player A will be the big blind again, and player B will be the small blind again.

poker-dedicated sites usually force players to wait until its their turn to be the big blind (that is, player D would have to wait a few hands until the big blind reaches him), or allow the players to post the big blind and play immediately without screwing anyone else over.

Any time money is taken from you there should be a mail sent. But those are great ideas. One would think staff should move this to the suggestions forum

I like all of the suggestions on this thread. I agree with LT. Wolf about the Big blind. It should be paid immediately if a player wants to join and start playing with that hand and when there spot comes up for the normal big blind, they pay that again even if they just paid it. They should have the option to sit out until the BB naturally hits their seat also. So happy to hear from Blondie that changes are in the works. I hope the folks working on the changes take these suggestions to heart. I've only played poker a few times here because it isn't the most user friendly system and I would love to start playing here more regularly.

I would also like to see some changes in the position issue. You can be on the button and yet after u bet in a round the next round you act first, this should not be. This current system makes playing position completely irrelevant.

I would also like to see the options to bet/check etc before the action gets to you this should speed up play tremendously.

also the time outs if there was no bet should be checked instead of folded. Also when all players are all in and there is no more action to be done. players should turn over there hands and all cards should come out instead of having to check or bet. Timeouts when players are allin are rediculous and when u shove over a player that is allin to prevent other from joining in and then u time out and lose more money than should have been at risk is utterly rediculous.

I am assuming you mean prebetting and checking so that when your turn comes about it automatically bets or checks for you... not actually going out of turn... and AMEN to the second paragraph.... losing one's money when all in or when there is no action, to a timeout is ridiculous. The LEAST a poker program should have is an Auto-check button, If there is no action needed to stay in the game then the player should stay in without having to hit a button. That was just poorly thought out programming and clearly not the best this site can do. If a player in tournament in Vegas can stay gone from the table for a day and a half and just have their BB/SB taken from their stack each time it hits them, then it should be the same here. They should be booted from the table when their stack is gone. In cash games they should be put in a sit out for so many hands and then booted.
