Full Tilt Poker Client Update
Full Tilt Poker has released a major update to their client. My last post mentioned that there was a problem with the download. That is over and the results are in….awesome. The new features rock. Here they are according to FTPDoug:
A) Tournament Dollars - Most people know what this is, so I won’t get too into it. It does mean that you will be able to unregister from just about every tournament you satellite into and get T$ credited to your account.
B) Auto Top-Up - This was all you guys. Just go to “Options->Set Buy-In Preferences…” and you’ll now see a checkbox under Ring Game Auto-Rebuy for Auto Top-Up. If you have it checked, you will be “topped up” to your preferred amount should you fall below it at the end of a hand.
C) Sit Out Next Blind - Or, more accurately, Sit Out Next Big Blind. Only found on Speed tables, and does just what it sounds like it does. We also changed the sit back in behavior on Speed tables so you no longer have to perfectly time your return so as not to post blinds out of position. Now when you click “I’m Back” you’ll be put into “waiting for big blind” mode. So, if you haven’t been playing the Speed tables for either reason, you should definitely check them out again.
D) Player Color Codes and Notes - The great feature suggestion by EWS87 in this thread has been implemented. You now see your color coded notes for players from the lobby. If you hover your mouse over a player you also see any specific notes you have on them. We also fixed the problem of losing notes if your client isn’t shut down gracefully. When you click Save and Exit now on your note, the note actually saves right then and there. What a concept.

And here’s a new view of a table in the lobby - note the yellow triangle indicating a tagged player with a note and color assigned. Let’s fish.
In addition he mentions these a bunch of smaller changes. The full thread is at:

I have a list of improvements that I would like to see added to the FullTilt client. I don’t know what the best way is to request them from FullTilt, so I will just post them here for your consideration.
I like the color coding that you can do to the player icons. I would like to to see two color tabs on each avatar. One on the lower left and one on the lower right. Most players recognize that there are two primary competing functions that comprise a given players game. One is the level of passivity/aggression and the other is the tightness/looseness of play. There are tight aggressive and tight passive players and I would like a color flag of each of those two factors.
I would also like it if instead of color tags, we would have the option to use letters or numbers, even labels or a library of characters.
It would be nice if we could assign the avatar to given players. I know that JoeSchmoe wants to be a Shark, but I should be able to set his avatar to display on my screen as a donkey, if that is what I think he is. He could continue to see himself as a shark as would anyone else that has not changed the avatar on their machine.
