I've noticed a bug with cake version 1. When someone shoves all in over your bet, the table doesn't pop up from stack. I'm not sure if its just preflop or all the time, but I'm always timing down and only way I remember to go back to that table is an alert from cake.
this is actually a known issue and should be mentioned on the cake1 faq page
the problem is that for cake, instead of using the 'fold' button for action detection, we use the 'bet' button. the reason for this is because when you can check for free, there is no fold button visible, but rather only the check and bet buttons.
however, as you note, when someone shoves over you, the table is not detected as requiring action because there is no bet button visible, but rather only fold and call. i believe this error only happens when the person shoving has you covered, because then you cannot raise allin yourself, which would mean that a 'bet' button would have to be visible.
so it was a trade off since cake1 is one of the few sites that doesnt show allow you to fold when you can check for free (other sites give you a popup box warning you)
