The features on PokerStars that I like are:
--being able to make notes on players. I've used them, and it's great to avoid a table when I see a player there that I've noted in the past "plays anything, raises with nothing, a maniac, avoid at all costs". Or if I've noted in the past that the player is conservative, I know if he's betting big, he's probably got it.

--graphics. I like everybody having their own avatar. I think sites that ony offer a few avatars should have more. Having a table populated by lots of the same avatar is just weird.

--the new re-sizing option. Wow, this is great! I applaud PSs for putting the effort and cash into doing this.

What I don't care for:
--the time bank. Unless a player gets disconnected, I think extra time should be limited. I don't think players should have to make snap decisions all the time, but the generous time bank allowances are abused in some cases.

--sitouts. I know every site has this problem. I just can't believe that a solution couldn't easily be programmed into the system. It seems that once a player has sat out for more than, say, 10 minutes, his chips should go into the next pot. That way, in a tourney, you wouldn't have a full table playing 4 handed.

P.S. Ad1129, what are you doing online at 3 a.m.? Shouldn't you be getting your beauty rest?
