P.S. For multitabling guys - 90% of your time is taken not by card animation, but by timing down oponnents, your own tuff decisions etc. I mean totaly no point to say i cant multitable as much as before, becouse cards are dealt to fast. If you think so it only shows you are one of those action stopping guys who simple play max tables they can hande using mx time they have. Those players are 90% reason why actions on cash tables can be so slow sometimes.
I think there has to be SOME animation, it's sort of ceremonial, would feel weird if it wasn't there. It'd be like if you went to see a stripper and she just walked onstage naked or something. However, you're right, animation/dealing/etc was way too slow on stars till now.
Your second point is very good imo.
I play a ton of tables, and I've got in a few sessions with the new speeds and I love it. Isn't tough at all.
I thought about whether fish would be annoyed, but I really don't think so. The 1-tablers will do fine with this, and even if maybe it's a bit fast, you have to also remember fish love action and not being bored. If they don't have to wait so much between playing hands, they'll have more fun, etc.
Very good improvement Pokerstars.
