This is not a good idea. Sometimes time bank is needed, incase someone takes just over a few seconds extra to get to a decision. With the focus steal issue still looming, this can happen often.

Perhaps if focus-steal was fixed, this might be a viable option.

Rather make blind levels change after set amount of hands instead of set amount of time.

I notice there are new 90-man KO SNGs, would be sweet if you would add a turbo version of these as well...

I was "forced" to do an update today, even though I don't use the "update" to log on. I did an update less than a month ago. I assume there were some kind of major changes, but I see no mention of an update anywhere.

Can Alex or some representative from PS let us know what changes are in the newest update... assuming they still read this thread, (I have my doubts that it is very often)

4 handed tables would be great !! Due to looser player, they would generate alot of rake for Stars too.

make your sng/mtt lobbies like the new ftp ones. this means bolding donkaments registered for or playing in. this should have been included when you added this to cash games 6-10 months ago. FTP beat you to this though

time banks let you know that you need to act NOW, would be stupid to get rid of it in anything, even hypers.

speaking of time banks, make them be able to refresh or do something different with them in tournaments, especially the bigger tourneys, just adding a **** load of time at the beginning doesn't cut it. just add 30 seconds or a minute every couple hours, or add more time to FT's.

The other option is a paused time clock as I mention as a suggestion in my reply above to stop the tourney clock while someone is using their bank.

Stars can't say this is an option available because they can pause the clock when people disconnect so why not here?

How about an option to disable the pre-select fold/call/call-any for those among us that are too weak to resist clicking those?

And I wouldn't mind if the 'Waiting on tables' window would actually show my spot in the queue and not the length of it

Please create some sort of lock on the lobby filters. I accidentally click on a column header and have to redo all the settings.

PLEASE do something about the fact that the "youve been moved to another table"-pop up steals focus from the table where actually action is required!!!

This needs to go.

Just make a "dont show this message again"-checkbox

there needs to be some sort of "quick join" option to relieve the mindless waiting list numbers, if you look at current fps/rts games for example; generally there is a quick join button where you just get ported to a random game where there's room for you, or it makes a new game with others in the Que. this would make the fish happy as they just like to get into a game quick and table selection for regs would still be there obv.
since alot of ring game regs seem to be uncomfortable starting tables this would also increase the number of deep tables all around.
