Haven"t read pages 2-5 so my comment may have been mentioned, but whilst I preferred the Stars software, I don"t mind the iPoker software, infact it"s been quite kind to me recently so I have no real complaints about that. Sure the Stars tournaments had a much better structure to them, but that"s a network thing, not an APAT thing so I can"t worry about that here.
The connection thing is an issue.. It happens from time to time when I lag out only to come back and find that I"m sitting out, having missed out on a couple of hands. It doesn"t happen often, but it happens, and not just me, it"s a network thing, it happens to a lot of people. Although, it doesn"t always effect everyone at the same time.
The only thing I don"t particularly like about this online season is the $10 buy in. I think $20 worked better, especially when it comes to pay outs. With the larger fields, more spaces are being paid and with iPokers payout scale, you end up with a $5 profit if you just scrape into the money for playing for about 3 hours. If they buy in were $20, at least you"d get a little bit more, it would make the payouts a lot better. Not only that, a lot of the fishier players that people commented about may be put off by the higher buy in.
My Two Cents.
