In my first post on this topic, I negatively criticized the new PokerStars graphics. However, improvements are gradually occurring and I have changed my mind. Some changes I really like. I was most surprised by the appearance of the popup for tournament registration. At first it was black and white and glistening, and now it was painted in pastel colors pleasing to the eye. Most importantly, the buy in is the most noticeable, unlike in the previous version where the most important detail was "camouflaged". At the time of promotion of freebuy + R satellites, as is the case now, it happens that I have 4-5 tables on the screen at the same time. My startup menu was sorted by the freeroll tournaments above and as late registration expires I sign up for it and play it at high risk as the screen is cluttered. There is one ugly thing about PokerStars. The most attractive tournaments, which often have high buy-ins, whose name is written in the same color as the mentioned freebuy+R tournaments, cannot be removed from the top of the tournament list. On April 29, 2019, I saw that I was missing a lot of money in my account even though I always played free tournaments and those with minimal buy in. Reviewing the tournament in progress, I noticed that I had registered to buy in the $ 109 tournament and lost all the chips in first hand in all in, without being aware of which tournament I was playing. In the old graphical environment, in the pop up window, the amount of buy in was much less noticeable than it is now in this new one.
I had a similar case on August 22, 2019. but I immediately noticed the error. At least I knew I was playing a $ 215 tournament, and I got off to a good start, but I called two all ins of my opponents and both lost on the river even though I had great hole cards. I lost one hand with AK vs AQ and the other I can't remember now. All I have to do is sort the menu so that my top positioned tournaments are the ones with the biggest buy in. That is how I tuned the lobby until tonight.
Tonight I went back to the old sorting menu because buy in is much easier to spot in a new pop up to register for tournaments.
