Default PokerStars Header

Wouldn't it be wiser to have the buyin amount of your tourney or sng up top, (on Stars header) instead of your account name? I mean, if you're only allowed one account...I'm sure you know who you are. Why the need to have your account name, when it would be wiser and more important to the players to know which buyin they're in.

You're probably wondering why I care so much. Well, one of the reasons is that I messed up one night (I play tighter when I'm in a $13 sng, than when I'm in a $1.75 one. I went all in with AKo, thinking I was in the $1+sng. I lost, only to find out I was in the $13 sng) and from that night on, I try to be more careful and take the time to look up what sng buyin I'm in. But there would be no need to pull up & check the number of the tourney, if it would be on header, which just makes more sense. I play 3 or 4 sngs at one time/different buyins, so it's a bother looking them up.


I suggested this to PokerStars last week. They send me a response saying, something in the lines of..."no one else seems to be bothered by it." So, I'm thinking, maybe if they get more emails on this subject, they might change it. If not because it's a good idea ( which I think it is ) they'll do it to please their players.

If you agree with this, please email them and suggest it too. Thankyou.

Here's an example of what I'm referring to when I say the PokerStars header.

I'm thinking it's probably to help players like ZeeJustin and JJProdigy to know which account they are actually using right at that moment.

An ancient Chinese proverb states, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." In this case, it's not broke.

Hey, don't look at me. I'm not even Chinese, let alone an ancient proverb writer.

You are so an ancient proverb writer, and don't even lie.
