^^^^^ LINK ABOVE SHOWS LOTS OF SUPPORT ^^^^^^^
Tons of support for higher time-bank at 2/5 culminating in Pokerstars nick saying he would look in to it

Does anyone have any interest in trying to get Stars to increase the time allowed to act at 2/5 zoom and lower? I'd appreciate if you spoke up here if you would prefer the time allowed to act be increased to the limits at 5/10+.
I just played my first session at 10/20 zoom and it was an absolute joy compared to 2/5 where I'm constantly struggling for time and having to re-join the pool to refresh time-bank.
The game doesn't run that much slower because the only people slowed down are the ones still in the hand who haven't fast-folded.
The problem is I'm not going to risk getting in to a 400bb decision with no time-bank so I feel I have to reset stacks when I run out of time-bank and I'm deep.

Just quoting some support from the HSPLO Stars Regulars Thread.
Ivanhoe makes the point it is supposed to be a fast game but my counter-argument would be that increasing the time limits to the timing used in the high stakes zoom pool would not hugely alter the playing experience for most people because of everyone simply fast-folding their way out of hands so much.
Can we get an idea of Pokerstars stance on this from one of the reps?
Is it worth making a poll to show where the majority opinion lies?

Because if you have a few decisions or a disconnect early on in your session your out of timebank very quickly. I time out pretty often when im thinking through decision due to lack of timebank.
It doesn't really slow the game down either as everyone who wants to fold and move on to a new hand can, only the players left in the pot are slowed somewhat.

otherwise we should work on decreasing the timebank in live games and not increasing online timebankes
yey ure right, only one guy influenced by ur thinking process but zoom is a fast game and i hate it when people think forever...especially when im bluffing and they hit the call btn with like 2 seconds left

Guess GGARJ is asking for a larger starting timebank in zoom games then.
