BattleField Poker--Almost a Winner
I downloaded the BattleField poker software and opened an account. I liked the look and feel of the place. But it's difficult to play there.
I can never tell when it's my turn. There is no blinking light so if you're multi-tabling it's really difficult without staring at the screen to see whose action it is. They have one of these little sliding timer devices that indicates how much time you have left when it's your turn, but if you're not staring intently at the screen you won't even notice it. The tables are too big, but after three e-mails I fugured out how to get rid of the big chat box on the right. They don't show the bet size in normal view. In mini-view they do, but I didn't like that interface. In normal view you have to count the chips or look in the little box in the lower right hand corner to see how much someone bet. Why not just put the bet size in writing right next to the chips so that it's clear. You can't tell how much they are raking. Again you have to get our your magnifying glass and count the chips in the chip tray to see how much is being raked. Why hide how much rake you're taking out of the pot? The cards are big, which is good but the fonts are small, which is bad. The fonts are small for everything else as well including the pot size. Just making the fonts bold in character would help a lot. This site is so close to being a winner, but when it's too difficult to multi-table (or single table for that matter) then I always end up going back to Party where it's just so easy to see what's going on. I like this site. I wish they would make a few changes. I'd hang out there more often if they did. |

Yea, I always wonder why people rag on party software and interface. It is probably the best interface on the net.

Re: BattleField Poker--Almost a Winner
I really have no problem multi-tabling at Prima. It will get conufsing sometimes, but I just have it to where it will play the alerts only. That way I will know when it is my turn. That is my Prima advice of the day.

Stars and UB are much better [/ QUOTE ] UB is nice except for one terrible problem. If the focus is on a non-UB window you will not get any alerts when it is your turn to play. If you are playing UB and another site at the same time you can be timed out and never realize it was your turn. Ditto if you are using PokerTracker or some other application. If you have nothing but UB tables up you'll never see this problem. It's hard to find enough good games on UB to play only there. They really need to make their software work well alongside other rooms. If anyone knows a workaround I'd love to hear it. |
