Good to see them listening to their players. Hopefully it only takes an hour this time, and not 3 days. :)

Lol this update is not crap, most of these solve the majority of problem that's pissing everyone off. This is more important then what you define important for you.

they should stop trying....it just cant get better......

Stop the Merge Madness already! My God, we haven't seen this kind of software bug since Windows Millenium Edition! Or is jusr ME looking to close in the Window?

thanks for the update hope it gets it right this time

new update fixed a lot of stuff.

I like the new updates. Hopefully, they will listen to players more often

As the list of fixes grows, it is amazing that they were able to get to work at all.

They do a good job listening to players. Go to 2+2 to say what you want to say. They have official staff there that listen and respond to players. Whether its bugs or game selection.

Well after the update i found my games to be a little shackey and i thought they wanted to freeze

thanks for the update , I like the new update lol...:)

Finally better.

Looks like they have got it right now!!!!

it is easy to criticise wen sum1 change but nw we see its actually much better than b4 thr r more options so we can choose to hav or not hav just abt nething it is more advanced better design i like it.

This new "fix" added a new problem for me. The sound gets stuck and makes this weird shuffling sounds at the tables...I shot them a bug report and reinstalled the software. Didn't fix it tho

good update now i wish they would change to shuffling program so it does not favor underdog

Can they possibly fix the number of bad beat in a day policy sickkkkkkkkkkk

the updates are nice. sad they are taking so long, but all in all, i like that they are doing them

i think they are gud updates,,i am still losing but not sucked out as much

i think they need a lobby update its so slow it suck when you get near the bubble gotta exit and renter

I like em too its just a little inconvenient but worth it i hope .

Glad to see they are making some more upgrades, hopefully it keeps getting better.

Actually that is kinda high for Idaho property lol, but if you throw in a potato I guess I can swing it.

Im really used to the new software and like it a lot! Still some minor fixes but its so much better than I thought it would be.

welcome all the new q invent and create is for user comfort

finally some improvemants. just make the bad beat go and im set

the updates are ok still could use a little tweaking

a register widget or something alike so that we can register without double clicking each tourney would be great.
