PokerStars finally shows discarded hole cards

#1 11th December 2007, 10:08 PM

Well, I took a look and didn't see anyone mention it yet.

But I for one love the fact I can see my discarded hole cards now. There are just some occassions where a flop comes out, I look at it, and think "crap, what the hell did I just fold?". Anyway, not much value I suppose, but still a nice feature to have (that others sites have had for quite a long time now). Now if they would only put in an unfold feature for those times I fold 94o and the flop comes 994.

I remember seeing it somewhere

ZBut yeah I like it. I just wish yo ucould roll over your opponents at showdown and see what they muck. would save a lot of time.

Skold mentioned it here. As someone pointed out, this is good as it should get donks to play even more hands because they can now see when would have happened had they played more easily. Of course they wont notice all they times they don't hit, only the times they do...

I've heard about this but I still haven't seen the feature in action - is there a preferences thing I have to checkbox or something?

The rest of us have known about this for days JD. Haven't seen a negative comment yet.

Now top on my wish list for PS would be a detachable chat, with big letters so I don't have to dig out my magnifying glasses.

Chuck, just roll over yourself with your pointer.

No, it should be active as soon as the update was installed. Though you do have to mouse over your PS avatar to have the cards show up in a semi-transparent view. They don't just remain on the screen.

That's why I like it, I'm trying to get my VP$IP over the 90% mark.

I saw this for the first time yesterday and it kinda freaked me out for a second. I didn't realize my mouse was on my avatar, or maybe I would have figured it out sooner. It just seemed like my hole cards had come back from the dead on me.
