- Other improvements rolled out in the update include the addition of auto rebuy and auto add-on option to those players using the classic poker table theme, an easier way of showing/hiding running and completed tournaments and various bug fixes that have been reported by players.
The latest update rolled out by partypoker on Thursday includes changes designed to de-clutter the lobby and make it easier for players to find their preferred games and stakes. Players engaged in the practice of “table hogging”—sitting at multiple cash game tables of the same type and stake waiting for action—were the primary targets of this attempt to make the lobby more player-friendly.
Players sitting alone at more than one table of the same game and stake will only have one of those tables be visible in the lobby. The remainder of those tables are hidden until the player receives action at the visible table.
