Hello,

In June 2009 we are going to work on a new poker client. We are hoping to launch it
in January 2010. So now I'm surfing around on the i-net for poker forums.
I believe this is the place where we can all hear about the players wishes.
So I hope you will be able to give us some suggestions on how we can make our client a good one.

Our client will be joining an existing network. We can't share witch network since there isn't
anything signed yet.

So, what are your thoughts about:

- Rake
- SnG & MTT rankings
- freerolls
- Withdrawal & Deposit options
- Layout of the client (colours,...)
- Shop
- Attracting pro players
- Commercials

If you got any other idea's, feel free to share.

You can either reply to this thread, you can always message me here on the forum or you can
mail me at james.haykins@hotmail.com .

We would like to thank you in advanced for your time.

- James Haykins

0% rake, lots of variety in sngs and mtts, million dollar heads up freerolls constantly starting up., deposit via carrier pidgeons, ect.

Seriously though, good luck with it. There are a lot of poker sites out there so you really need to find a differentiating factors that draws in consumers. Good luck and keep us posted.

How about an rng that stops shuffling after the cards have been dealt, and a burned card before each street?

Its great and all, but do you honestly think that it will make any difference in the variance online? I think that we just magnify online variance because we can play way more hands way faster and therefore see bad beats more often than live.

What about intergrating prop bets so that players at the table can bet with eachother (complex I know but it would mean you were offering something completely new)

Also allowing players to show 1 or both of their cards (at any time)

Possibly allowing players to run flops twice if all in

Some minimum buyin tables of 100BB at any level

Better security for freerolls.

i.e. a person creates a private list and only that person can add/remove people from the list.

The person can add/remove any account to/from the list.

When a site freeroll is given out.. the site is allowed to choose which lists to include.

Stops password thieves as the site gets to choose which accounts can play.

Have some "fast" tourneys with no time banks and less time to act to speed up play.
