The lobby for Better Poker is pretty basic and neatly organized. It lists the number of current players, tables, and tournaments. Games are easily found in a tabbed menu on the left hand side. The menu expands to list the stakes of each game going on. In the center of the lobby, a list of current and upcoming tournaments is displayed. Clicking on a tournament in the list will prompt all the necessary information and stats to the tournament to be displayed in a quick and easy to read fashion, just to the right of the tournament list. Adjustable filters can also be used to find the upcoming tournaments that you are specifically interested in.
Instead of resizable tables, players have the option of using top view mode to use a standard size table or mini view to use smaller sized tables referred to as mini tables. Mini tables automatically tile up to four tables on a screen, so they can all be simultaneously viewed.
