Time banks need to be improved most definitely, for cash games AND tournaments. Shorter, but reasonable banks are good for everyone involved...players and the house.

I agree. I think they have longer time for tourns and less for cash games to increase rake though, so good luck getting it changed.

Would prefer not to have a time back. Just makes the game play slower. They already give you 25 seconds. That should be enough time for most decisions unless you are 10 tabling.

the thing is several of us do play 10+ tables. they should have a timebank but just make it so that it'll reset after a certain time period if you use it all up

^^^ Yeah, way too much time, since it can be used in full for EVERY SINGLE HAND ... but that doesn't mean a time bank isn't a good idea. Waiting the full 25 seconds for a bad mass-tabler to time out 3 x's per orbit is tilting as hell ... as is not having an option for some extra time when you need it once per x,000 hands.

I think Lock should shorten the existing time to ~10 seconds and have a 30-40 second time bank you need to click to activate. I think this would speed up the games significantly but still give players the option of extra time when needed.

Yeah, a 45 or 60 second timebank is too much, but I think a 30 would be good, reloaded maybe once every hour. And 25 seconds is just about right, I think. 10 seconds would be insane, any time you had a decision that you needed an extra 8-10 seconds to think about, you would be timed out an half your tables very easily. Even the turbo tables are 15 seconds.

Very annoying to lose a huge pot because lock freezes and you cant reopen it in time to act on a valueable hand!
Timebanks in cash games please!
