Loving the new PokerStars Update

Some seriously good stuff.  The Average Stack sort feature in the lobby is phenomenal, especially with the new auto buy-in and seat me options (eliminates delay that occurs when using TableNinja).  I also think it is helping get the 100bb games more popular as the default puts those tables at the top of the list.  Fish like easy so they go to the top of the list.  Tada more good 100bb games.

At least that is my theory.  I like the following hand.  I 100% knew my opponent had AJ here based on previous reads and wasn't going to fold a full house.  100% standard and easy play.
