PokerStars recently introduced several new options in its game lobby to help you better sort through available games and tournaments. Included here are detailed descriptions and instructions on how to navigate the new system.
Before we start, don’t forget that PokerStars has always allowed you to search through individual columns in the header bar. That’s not changing. PokerStars is just making it better.
Hiding Full Tables
The first thing you’ll notice is a new button at the bottom of the game lobby. Now, when you play in Hold’em ring games, the new button will read “Hide full tables.” In the picture below, you’ll see what the new button looks like. Click the image to see a full-screen version.
If you click on that button, the Hold’em ring games that are currently full will disappear and leave you with only the games with open seats.
If you’re looking for tournaments, click on the “Tourney” tab. The new button will now read “Show registering/upcoming only”. Pressing this button will allow you to filter out the full tournaments or already-active tournaments. Click on the picture below for a picture of the new button on the full-sized screen.
As this option will be the most valuable to you, it requires a little more explantion.
First, you’ll need to know where to right-click. You’ll be looking for the bar that reads: Table/Stakes/Limit/Plrs/etc.
Example: Say you’re looking for a tournament with the lowest possible buy-in that begins as soon as possible.
1. Click “Tourney”
2. Right click on the Header Bar that reads ID/Date/Game/etc. A new sorting window will open.
3. In the first sorting box, select “Buy-in” and “Ascending”
4. In the second sorting box, select “Date” and “Ascending”
5. Click “OK”
Clicking “OK” will effortlessly sort all of the available touranaments and give you the cheapest tournaments that start the soonest.

The new sorting options let you take even more control over your poker game and find the ring games and tournaments you want even faster.
Enjoy the changes. If you need further help, feel free to e-mail PokerStars support at support@pokerstars.com.
