I play on ignition for the most part and love the "rabbit card" feature. This is a feature that allows you to see the next card on the board even though everyone has folded. It's completely inconsequential, but I have grown so used to it, that when I play on other sites I really miss it.

Most people won't play with it because they say it can tilt them. Say the card you are waiting for would've come, that would drive some people nuts. I think on the contrary: so little does your card come when you are supposed to fold that it is almost reassuring for me. Sure occasionally I would have hit that four outter but a majority of the time it doesn't.

Do you think seeing the next card once the hand is folded would be tilting?

Does rabbit hunting make the game more fun?

Hmmm interesting , I didn't know that feature's existance! To be honest I don't fond the idea because there's no use crying over spilled milk :P
I do not even relook my hole cards if I folded them.
What's the purpose of seeing the combinations you lost? You decided what to do back then given the dynamics.So I don't see the point of that feature IMHO.

It's one of those things that if you never had it you would never miss it!

doesn't put me on tilt,,, disappointed maybe. I use it on Ignition also.

I hate it. When two players go all in and I fold and then I see the whole showdown and I know I would win I get extremely tilted. So this option would make my game worse.

Last year 85 rabbit in the trap lollllll this year not finish yet. lolllll

I would like to see a rabbit hunting feature on PokerStars. Like you said, it doesn't change the outcome. But I think it would be cool after a tough decision to fold and still be able to see what would have happened.

I find this option bizarre, I do not know what can happen in my case but obviously many players will enter Tilt because of this.

wow never heard of this in online. would be interesting in different situations for sure

love that feature too.

I always look at the folded cards. It helps me. I see which side today luck has turned to me. And sometimes I use it.

I love the rabbit feature. I wish more sites had it as an option. So those that like it can have it, and those that do not like it would not turn it on. Carbon also has a rabbit feature. It is different from the ignition feature in that the winner of the hand is the only one that can run it. It shows all remaining cards and the whole table sees it.

I hate chasin the rabbit, makes me tilt a lil.

Seems like mixed opinions, some people love it and some people hate it. I guess that's why they give you the option to turn on the feature or leave it off. Sometimes I wish they would do it at the casino.

If you like playing the would of could of game the rabbit cam is for you.
I stopped playing on Bovada/Ignition early last year and I now play on ACR. ACR doesn't have the rabbit cam but I don't really care.

I like having a personal identity with a username more at ACR. I was hoping that Ignition would switch to usernames instead of their current setup but it didn't happen.

I don't like the rabbit feature, You start questioning your own judgement at the poker table because you see what could have been.

I think it aggravates me more than it helps

If it is tilting by all means I wouldn't use it, but it can actually help you control tilt in other situations. What card comes next should not really influence you decision making. It is a very fun and addictive feature!

Carbon Poker has the Rabbit feature as well, but, I never liked it. Since the cards are dealt randomly how do we know that's the actual card that would have come up? Is the order preset after a shuffle like a real card game, or is each card randomly selected each time one is dealt? I would think to lessen the chance of a super-user having an advantage, the latter would be true.

Good question, I'm not sure how that works. I would like to believe the next card up does not change when the hand begins.

It shouldn't matter. It can be cool to see but whats the point? You have to make decisions before the card comes. I think a lot of people wouldn't benefit from it.

Our house rules no rabbit hunting. Just takes times off the clock in a tournament game. Also there's no point to look because you need to make your decisions before the card comes just like QA77 said.

If it slows down the game (before the next hand), then I wouldn't want the feature. If it makes the game more fun for you, sure good feature to have. But, I don't/wouldn't use it as the statistics for turn and river cards are already known.

I used to see people do this at Merge Gaming's online poker rooms when Merge was still popular,but I really didn't like using that feature myself.

I guess I'm too boring, but playing 6-8 tables at the same time I do not have time to watch rabbits ...

it could be tilting if you realize that you could have won the hand maybe not if you would have not anyways. It depends on what may have occurred that may be the tilting factor. The positive in my opinion is it may be useful if you want to look to see if you would have done something different against another player or played differently had you had their hands or still had the hands you had.

I don't think it adds or removes from the fun of the game. But like I said earlier maybe a good tool for improving your game at a later time. I don't have experience with it mind you but I may consider using it time to time if it is available.

Wow Cool!! Cant wait to try it!!!

I personally don't like this feature, but then again I was never a big fan of those "what if" scenarios. Usually I'd just get upset at myself for folding because my instincts never seem to tell me I should fold, but I usually listen to my logical reasoning that says that's definitely a huge fold. I always seem to regret it in the end. I should learn not to because objectively those were losing situations, but I don't think anyone can help feeling a bit bummed knowing they missed out on a huge moneymaking hand.

I hate this. I don't wanna know.

Iv never tryed it. I dont know if id like it or not, id like to see.

rabbit hunting is best done in moderation

Rabbit hunting is good if recreational players like it. Me personally, I feel it's a waste of time. There's no point in being result oriented.

i would like to give that a try!

Not at all. I actually like seeing that next card. the best part is when you win the hand and that card would have made it even better.

I turned it off over a year ago at the advice of a friend who helped train me a bit in my poker skills. His point was that once you fold, your hand is done. Sure you can watch the rest of the hand play out to gain information on other players but seeing the next card does nothing for you. In his advice, it only distracts you from readying for the next hand. As Sil3nteness says, it's probably good for fun for totally rec players, but I fail to see it's value beyond some "fun." It's a distraction and can impact the mental game of poker.

Who knows if the next card that is shown is actually the next card that would have been dealt if you entered the hand. Don't some sites RCG continuously deal the cards and some others are dependent on players actions / mouse movements ect.
