Order restored in the cash game jungle
April 24th, 2008
This week the poker software provided by Ongame Network received a face lift in the form of the possiblity to filter, screen and sort cash game tables. We Ombudsmen are now interested in your feedback on this feature. Good as well as bad. Please use the commentary functionality to share your thoughts.

the new search filter is a mild improvement but has issues. 100NL and 400NL should not be in the same grouping. 200NL is low stakes. mid stakes is 400-1000NL. we need to be able to filter by specific stakes, as right now i cannot search for specific tables alphabetically without having to see a wide spectrum of limits which makes it useless.

I agree with jersaunders. I wrote this once, but here you go:
- There should be a filter with check buttons (not radio buttons or rolldown menus, because some play at more levels at the same time) for limits and seats.
- Number of waiting players, my position on the waiting list should be in the table list. See above.
- On which table I’m playing should be in the table list as well, because if I look for new tables it takes a lot of effort to find on which table I’m not playing. That’s because I play on 8 tables and on my limit there are usually 5-10 tables. You could use a different colour for the tables where I am seated, for example.
- If there are 9 players at a table and one player, who haven’t take his seat yet, you cannot join the table or the waiting list (it’s greyed out). This is annoying if you play at other tables or if somebody, who came later, can play earlier, because he clicked at the right time.
And so on.

-I would like to see the following limits grouped 2/4,3/6 and 5/10 as mid
- If there are 9 players at a table and one player, who haven’t take his seat yet, you cannot join the table or the waiting list (it’s greyed out). This is annoying if you play at other tables or if somebody, who came later, can play earlier, because he clicked at the right time
-Id like to see players whom abuse chat taken seriously. Ongame bans nobody.
-Table sizing would be nice too
I must commend you for offering feedback and the improvements made
-Also ongame should take a roll in there partner sites that offfer bonuses ie Hollywood offer Ipods but are not sending them out. Offering bonuses and than not fullfilling them is wrong

- allow selecting stakes individually (e.g. NL400 only). List them all as options, or as somebody said, make the items as multiselectable checkboxes
- allow selecting number of players individually (if I want to play 5max, I don’t want to see the 3max or heads-up tables)
- allow adding yourself to waiting list also from the table itself
- when I select a table in the lobby, preload the statistics of the surrounding tables to make table browsing fast
- take the distracting popup (that appears when mouse is over a table in the table list) away, it is always on your way
- sort the player name lists (e.g. in tournaments) case-insensitively, sorting them case-sensitively just does not make sense for humans
OTHER:
- reload without having to sit out
- add blue icon to player notes
Just contact me if you need more ideas.
