Busy week so haven't played since Sunday, logged on today and noticed they now have some "simple" interface where you select your "game type," "table type," and "stakes" and it takes you to a random unnamed table. Seems you can no longer see table names, number of players, average pot size, % seeing flop.

On one hand I see it being good for totally rec players and takes away some "edge" from regs. I asked some players who said they think it's to counter collusion on the already anonymous site which could be a plus On other hand it takes away that edge of table selection.

Whats up with this? Is this the only option now or is it an option you can turn off (akin to Revolution Network's quick play mode)?

Yes, now you're on your own with no knowledge of the other players. You can no longer pick out a good fishing hole.

Is this on desktop and mobile versions? I don't like it . I play on an ipad. I can no longer play from the " home screen" which keeps the screen full. I have to log in through the casino now. I just don't like the look. I like to see the lobby as well in cash tables. Now no view of any kind. I too like to see flop % and average pot size before entering a table.

Agreed, it'll take some getting used to. Still though overall for the US facing sites it's still close to the top of the list imo.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the new change, but it is what it is. :( I'm playing a ton of 2-4 handed games w/ regs now w/ this change. You just have to get lucky to hit a full 6-max table.

At least you can still run a HUD and track stats.
