Player info - generating ideas to discuss...

Hi

Something interesting to generate ideas and to discuss....

At the moment on a player's 'plinth' (the stats around the avatar) you can see some basic information about them and how many chips / how much cash they have plus occasional other information like bounties etc.

So, it would be interesting to discuss what other information might you like to be shown and why this would be useful?

Any interesting ideas?

Thanks

    1. Maybe the ability to colour code the notes tab for quick reference without opening it?

    Red - Good player
    Amber - Average player
    Green - Weak player

    OR

    2. I would like the notes to come up in a bubble when you scroll onto a player , then disappear when u move your cursor off , rather than having to click notes tab all the time.
    Would speed things up when making decisions IMO.

    I would still like the problem of peoples location, team name or other guff blocking their stacks to be repaired. When someone is timing down, it's irritating that you can't see their stack because it says "Team Poker Titans" or whatever. Obviously, once they've acted you get to see it again but still... irritating.

    EDIT: To be fair, I haven't played in a few weeks, so maybe it has been fixed. I remember a thread from Sky_Dave about it, so I may be a touch out of date. Not sure though.

    Booooooooooo!!! :)

    Personally I don't think the stack sizes should be in the location field anyway.....after all it is a location, perhaps separating the stack sizes from the location would be a better way forward?

    Why is our location even included? most other sites just say "Germany" "Poland" or whatever

    Sorry, just to interject...

    This isn't what we were really referring to. We were really thinking about things that are not shown at the moment.

    For example, you might show how many tables your opponent is playing.

    Is that useful / relevant or do you have any other ideas?

    I don't see why we need any more than the basic stuff that's already there. No point bringing in unnecessary clutter imo.

    How many rebuys a player has had in a MTT.

    If the add on has been taken.

    If the second chance has been taken.

    Players who are chat disabled.

    100% agree. Keep it simple.

    Should be something like this imo:

    You're using an girl's avatar, are you really a woman? - Yes
    Really?  -  Yes
    Are you Sure?  - What you saying?
    Come on now - Ok, my name's Mark/Wayne/Tommy.

    In seriousness the less there the better.  The only thing I could argue deserves the time, effort and focus to be added would be a mini/maxi view light/symbol for purposes of chatting.  However if chat's available in mini in the future this too would be defunct.

    No need to add anything in my view, I think you should be looking to take away rather than to add - why do we need silly avatars for instance

    (and completely agree with Borin Loner above that it is irritaing when someone has a "team" as their location field. There's been enough polite requests by Sky to remove these that surely you can do something to sort this out automatically now?)  Also you need to do something about the location fields that, while genuine, go on to two lines and thereby cover the stack info - e.g. Newcastle-upon-Tyne or Thornton Cleveleys to note just two I've seen in the last 24 hours)

    I just wish to disassociate myself from any suggestion that anyone should be shot... I do not support gun or bow and arrow violence.

    Something that tells you their hole cards would be useful.

    Sorry, my posting was very badly worded in that respect. I of course withdraw any part of my post that could be taken in the wrong way.

    Yeah in all seriousness, something saying how many tables they're playing and if they're on mini view might be useful.

    In terms of useful information perhaps something like when they started playing on Sky, and perhaps how many times they have played in the last month.

    But then we are getting in to the realms of encouraging bhunting. Not that im against this.

    Information that I specifcally dont want. Would be anything to do with hands entered/%flops seen/VPIP and so forth.

    Thanks for the feedback. Just another thing - if (and it is an if) we did something like this in future. it wouldnt likely be visible all the time but perhaps on clicking or hovering over the avatar with your mouse.

    Out of interest, why would this be useful?
