Default Connecting to PokerStars...
Is PokerStars giving anyone else shit about connecting to it? I went to open it up and it said that new software was released, then it started downloading. Now all of a sudden it froze and when I click "Network" it says all my hosts but one (Yahoo) are bad.

Anyone?

When you finally get it running it gives the option of hiding full tables, it also appears to run crisper and quicker.

The site looks A LOT better now, way more organized. I don't have time to sit and play but can anyone tell me if Stars has the "Fold & Show" feature yet? I asked support about it in an e-mail and they said that they currently had a list of "features and changes in mind".

I can't wait to be able to show people what great lay downs I can make, soon I will be folding Kings preflop like Phil Hellmuth and in no time.

The appearance is crisper. Before it always seemed to not be all fine touched.

Graphics wise? Great visual "flavour"?

Ok, I just finished downloading.

Feature that I'm most intrigued by? VIP status in the cashier page.

The not having to scroll through tournaments every damn time thing is alright too I guess.

I think the downloading time was worth it. I like the new improved look, i find it alot easier to find what your looking for. The hide full tables feature is nice and the VIP sounds kool
