The main area of functionality which we would like the feedback to focus on, is the new "Pocket Card Manager" feature.!

....

Pocket Card Manager

A new feature that enables you to automatically fold those pocket cards that you would normally fold in early, middle or late position. You can access the Pocket Card Manager from the Menu in the lobby by selecting Global Table Options and then Pocket Card Manager or from the Options menu on the table view.

When you have enabled the Pocket Card Manager you can select to view or change the default set of cards according to your position in the game. You can opt out of the pocket card manager for a particular table from the table Options tab.

if it catches on well, stealing becomes easier.

This is quite possibly the worst software change I have ever seen implemented.

Seriously, but not just that. It's actually one of the worst decisions I've ever seen made by an online poker business.

Incredibly ******ed, WTF.

First the anonymous tables, now this.

So is this only on Unibet or all skins?

I don't know why, but I don't know why it's such a bad idea.

Do you think it will be more used by fished or regs?

Having other players using this, you may getting a much more exact view on ranges according to pos. of your enemies. Also you can get a pretty view if it's a steal or a value raise.

Maybe I should fold everything under 10% and just 16 table micro to test it, lolz. (Microgaming has a 4 table limit, or?)

Yay we'll get to steal more instead of playing post flop in position versus villains weak range.

What's next, will Microgaming allow us to program our own bots?

I'm really curious, did they consult any people that, you know, actually play poker about this before implementing it or did they give carte blanche to some overly ambitious software developer?

That's the thing... it'll be used by both fish and regs, but now fish have a LOT more incentive to just program the thing and play solid hand ranges and play more tables, whereas before they were probably just playing 1-2 tables and playing every hand.

It's a disaster for online poker if this catches on.

The fact that it also comes pre-configured is just lol.... why not just send a coach to the fishes house and let the coach press all the buttons.

They're seriously killing the golden goose on this one. It'll get everyone playing a ton more tables because they can lean on the auto-folder, then when games get nitty as all hell and the appearance of one fish results in a waiting list 15 people long, the games will dry up.

I guess it won't happen if it's just one/some skin on a network, but I can't believe it's not against the network ToS to allow this. Starting next month, I think I'll join FreewinningbotPoker.com... that's a microgaming skin too, right?

Upside: More hands per hour?

Downside: GG, microgaming.

I don't get why they'd ever do that. Don't they understand how their own rake system works?
