New time bank at Pokerstars

#1 10th November 2010, 1:40 PM

Seems the latest update provides a new time bank. The new scroll is like an hour glass and turns from red to green and it depletes.

I am sure my table is uber annoyed cause I keep taking time so I can see it. lol

Anyone else liking this?

Uber annoyed?

Just checked it out. Not a fan. I'd say it's going to screw with my hotkeys programs too. Don't really see the point in changing it

Im glad they changed it. Big fan here.

#5 10th November 2010, 3:26 PM

Yes those lights are really purdi I must say lol.

#6 10th November 2010, 3:49 PM

I guess it is my old eyes but it just looks cleaner and bigger to me.

#7 10th November 2010, 3:50 PM

Pretty useless IMHO. If a player can't count backwards then he should consult his bankroll, cuz it will show him how to count backwards.....

Here is another update that was included in the latest release. I am pretty excited about this one.

Last, and probably best, we have given you the ability to customize your own bet sizing shortcut buttons. Those are small buttons above the bet slider which have pre-set bet amounts, e.g. Bet Pot button. Those buttons are off by default since we do not believe that every player would like to have this feature, but you can enable them by going to 'Options' >> 'Bet Slider Options'. You can configure different buttons for pre- and for post-flop action. Pre-flop you can specify number of Big Blinds, and post-flop you can specify a % of the pot, among other options. You can have anything that will fit your playing style - it's up to you

Full feature list is here for the update.

Since I play a lot of PLO and PLO8 this is really great news for me. But I can certainly see where it would be great for NL games as well.

Hate that update.

#12 10th November 2010, 6:14 PM

love the new update. Still going though them all to get the settings right. Glad to see tourney summarys can now be auto saved just like HH.

Yes this is a huge bonus IMO.

I think you can disable all the new features using the options button if you dont like any of the changes.

#15 11th November 2010, 11:44 PM

I like the option to increase bet sizing by the small blind. FT had this one earlier, and I have been waiting for it. Unfortunately, it looks like you have to click it every time you log in.

Almost all of the new features are off by default

Loving this! And I was doing the same thing with the timer so I could see it...lol.

#18 12th November 2010, 1:31 PM

In addition there are other new features to the time bank that I am really loving. After every 6th level in an MTT you get +10 seconds added to your total time bank. This is awesome. In the later stages harder decisions are made and to get some of that time back that may have been used early on for other reasons is a really good thing.

#19 12th November 2010, 1:46 PM

I like the new timebank and I'm sure it auto presses the timer if you don't act in time rather than folding..

Unfortunately it doesn't, at least not in the MTT I am in right now.

Would be good for a future release.

I have been on holiday and noticed this for the first time last night. I like the new timer. It certainly is more obvious.

#22 12th November 2010, 5:15 PM

I like the new timer. I don't always use my time completely but fairly frequently I do. Try to take same time and think the hand through. This timer helps.
Also when I have a button masher who is in a hurry I tend to slow the game down considerably.
