Ok, So I really wasn't happy with the ACR update at first glance. Like KGB mad at Mike with the "check, check, check" mad but. . .I get it and overall its a improvement from the last versions but I'm still a little disappointed.
I like the stud variants and I might be missing something but all those guraranteed tourns disappeared from the tourn section at ACR since the last time I played.
There are still stud8 and stud cash games and I guess that's good but if ACR was losing money in the guaranteed stud8 and stud tourns then why not just offer them as SNGs and collect the entry fees so folks have that option?
I don't know if that was part of the update, but again, I haven't played there in "awhile" and that was disappointing to see. And I wasn't happy about seeing those games listed as "Other" either.
I was really hoping ACR would move more into mixed games. You don't need guaranteed tourns but it would be a nice option to have some mixed games, with some tourns and even some SNGs in mixed game format. Just having more options other than Holdem would be awesome.
I know its ACR but all the major sites had some form of mixed games on it. So if there was any type of "update" then I was really hoping for different games and different formats like Headsup SNGs!!! But whatever you can't get everything.
The next problem was the pop up tourn windows. Its been about a week and I still have issues with them from resizing them to getting them out of the tourn lobby window, to not being able to resize the box or its hard to move, I mean it can be a headache and thats not including the small font issue.
Sometimes it goes to the top of my screen to where I can't see the top of the box so I try resizing it from the sides to bring it down so I can see the top of the box and sometimes that works but you can't resize it from the sides or the top but just from the bottom so I still have "issues" with it. It could be just me so I don't know, maybe I need more time with it.
The good thing about the new tourn pop up lobby is you can put a few of them together on one section while you play 2-3 small tables and stack everything but I would still like the text larger.
And I do not like having to close certain parts of the pop up to get to info that would be visible on a normal regular tourn info page. So still not thrilled about the tourn lobby pop ups.
The lobby as whole is a big improvement for folks that weren't used to just clicking once or twice to get the tourns in the order but I understood the confusion of the previous version especially if you not were used to it and looking for something in a hurry when it came to tourns. I like the filter on the side so its an improvement.
I would still recommend ACR because it looks fine but maybe I need more time with it but the "other" stuff was disappointing. I still have some issues withe the tourn pop outs but the tourn lobby is an improvement overall.
If you're just interested in holdem then ACR seems like a fine site though. ACR has a lot to offer to holdem fans but not so much for "Other" fans.
