cake poker - man this software sucks

[de-coder]

So, I haven't found anything I like about this software yet (although it does let you show if you fold and that may come in handy, or not). Among my pet peeves is:

- the table view of ring games doesn't seem to refresh - makes it really hard to find a table. What the fuck is up with that?

- it's slow, very slow sometimes... Just seems to hang between hands the odd time - no idea why - and just wait till you try to rebuy into the table (or do anything else when you click on the dealer). you wait a while for that to come up to. Last hand? don't even bother...

If it wasn't for a nice bonus, and 33% rake back, this site wouldn't have a chance.

Anyone find anything they like?

I like:

-33% RB.
-Terrible opponents
-The avatar with the big boobs

I notice none of those things have anything to do with the software... They are nice perks though.

Come on - the hot avatar is definitely a part of the software.

I've experienced some of the slowness issues, but not the issue you mentioned regarding finding a table, I have no problem there.

Playing there right now and the tables are moving fast and so are all of the features.

I hate undersets...

I was just on it and the performance wasn't too bad, but the game list is still a problem - it even shows tables that don't exist anymore...

Also - NO STUD. There are buttons for it, but no tables!

What's your favourite game here? Anyone tried any of the tournaments?

So far I think the biggest overall player weakness I've seen is people over valuing their hands - wow it's bad.

As far as table lists go... are you clicking on the NO LIMIT button and the button to hide full tables (lower right of the main screen)? I click on those two things and then click on the Stakes tab to sort it by the blind amounts. After doing those 3 things I have no trouble finding tables.

Best game for me has been the $50NL and $100NL 6-max cash tables... they've been a gold mine thus far.

I do click the no limit button and I sort by blinds, but I haven't tried hiding full tables - I'll give that a go.

So far I'm playing 100NL 6max, but I don't have a lot of experience with 6max so I'm still feeling it out a bit. The play is terrible - I was in a 3way pot (stuck in the middle), fairly drawy board on the turn - I had TPTK and bet it - I was raised and tehn re-raised all-in so I folded. These 2 idiots were fighting over second pair.

I find that makes it difficult to know whether my hand is any good. I've adjusted my play a it to sometimes showdown a little more cheaply with hands I might otherwise dump, but I'm uncertain whether this is a good long-term strategy (although it's working ok so far).
