Key Takeaways
- PokerStars.IT has returned exclusively to the Seat Me system after a trial period of table selection at select stakes.
- The trial aimed to determine which seating functionality players prefer, and Seat Me was found to be the preferred choice.
- Traditional table selection is still available at €5/€10, which gives PokerStars.IT greater adaptability.
- Tempest Hold’em has been removed due to low volume of play.
PokerStars is not getting rid of its experimental automatic seating system any time soon — the trial to add back some table selection in the Italian market has ended, returning to the Seat Me system exclusively.
For many years, PokerStars Italy has offered only a blind lobby in place of the standard table and seat selection offered in the dot-com, US and Ontario markets.
One month ago, PokerStars.IT trialed the removal of this blind lobby system at select stakes, switching back to a standard table selection system. This trial has now ended, and PokerStars has reverted to Seat Me only.
