I have one issue with the software, when a new table opens, I have to move it bit up because I cannot see the buttons at bottom (my netbook has resolution 1024x600) and sometimes (about 10% of the time) the table freezes (I cannot move the table anymore) and I cannot do anything and I see no action on the table (I have to refresh the page and login again, and it opens the table and I can play - but in some cases it freezes again and I have to repeat ).

lol. Cuntrag is a nice guy! He's volunteering to create some images for us, a big help. I think maybe he just acts rude at the table to throw his opponents off. 
Best site around with some of the nicest people you'd ever play against. Except cuntrag... He's a different story lol.
Cool I credited you each with 100 chips, good luck guys.
I would like to check it out, my nick is d3bil.
As I play HU SNG exclusively, any chance you make your weekly rake race to include SNGs as well? I mean SNG with fee > 0 will count as 1 raked hand...

Ya, we want to give best value across the board. It so happens that the lower stakes get an especially good deal, since we round down on collecting rake (so nothing is collected on any pot under 100 chips, and then not again until the next 100 increment). And that's probably good, for the reason you mention. Caps are all changed to 2 big blinds or less now.
Thanks for the answers. I agree the lowest games are really cheap on rake now. Which is a good thing I think to get people to try it out. Furthermore even with higher rake you wouldn't make much from those stakes anyway
Ok some questions about the rake.
- Are you using a no flop no drop policy?
- The maximum rake is actually pretty high for high stakes where you will reach the cap frequently. Are there any plans to bring this more inline with pokerstars or does the lower percentage rake for low stakes compensate for this in your eyes?
- Also what times is it the busiest on your site?

Ya, the cap on some of the intermediate stakes games might need some adjusting. Right now the cap is 100 chips across the board. For the really high stakes, this is actually pretty cheap (especially in conjunction with 1% overall). The small stakes games basically play rake free most of the time and at 1% rake they don't really have an opportunity to pass what would be the cap on other sites, so it's sort of moot. But for some of the mid-level stakes, the cap right now doesn't make sense, will adjust. Thanks.
Right now the busiest time really varies. I'll see games going when I expect it to be empty, and I'll see it empty when I expect games to be going. I would say 5-9pm EST is probably the best shot right now.

Thanks a lot. Gotta say I'm loving this site.. Good luck man
Sent to both of you, good luck!
Can I get some chips, I'll provide valuable feedback. username: peter885
Pi314. If offer is still available
Glad it's working correctly for you!
It's ultimately just a matter of preference since everyone has equal opportunity to draw the bye, so if it seems like your way is popular we may tweak the software to run the tournaments that way (or offer both formats). But hopefully that explanation makes sense for the meantime.
That makes sense, sure. I was just surprised, being used to how Stars does its heads-up tournaments.

It's working fine for us, test it deliberately next time you log in and let us know.Quote

Same computer and browser? Mavens does remember these settings. Can you login again and see if it's a one time issue or if it's still forgetting? Thanks.Both these problems seem fixed now. I'm wondering if perhaps Chrome crashed or my laptop ran out of power before it got to save the settings. Actually, I think I remember the OS locking up hard shortly after I first played, and having to do a cold reboot.
Thanks for the 100 chip comp.
Oh, I forgot one:

Good call, we'll specify the time zone, fixed on the latest update. It's EST by the way.* "Last updated: Tuesday 23:17" at the bottom of the promotions page.

I just played some 1/2 NLHE. After a bunch of hands we hadn't had a single raked hand, so agreed we would both go all-in pre-flop blind on the next hand to get a raked hand. Is that kind of manipulation allowable? Am I right to think the pot needs to get to at least 100 chips before it is raked?
Ya, you're right, our rake is 1% rounded down. So nothing is ever raked if the pot is below 100 chips. Agreeing to something like that with your opponent is fine. If we find that the raked hands promotion is being abused, we'll just try something different in the future.

I think that's all. That will be 300 chips please.
100 chips credited to your account.
Hey dooglus,
If the player drawing the bye was given the same stack for the final table, he'd have a 50% chance of winning whereas the other 2 players each have 25%.
It's ultimately just a matter of preference since everyone has equal opportunity to draw the bye, so if it seems like your way is popular we may tweak the software to run the tournaments that way (or offer both formats). But hopefully that explanation makes sense for the meantime.
* I signed up for a freeroll. There were 3 of us registered. I got a bye in the first round, then got to play the winner from the first 2. When I got to play, I had 1500 chips, but the other guy had 3000 chips. Doesn't seem very fair to me that he had double my stack. I was expecting each match to start with both players having 1500 chips, but it seems you keep your stack from one match to the next.
Ya, you keep your stack. We think it's the best way to do it. You have half the stack, but you only have to beat 1 opponent to win the whole tournament. With half of his stack, mathematically you're 1 in 3 to beat him, so you and the other 2 players all have the same odds of winning the tournament. (It just manifests differently where they're 50% to win their first table and then 2/3 to beat you, and you're 1/3 to beat one person.)If the player drawing the bye was given the same stack for the final table, he'd have a 50% chance of winning whereas the other 2 players each have 25%.
