It's just faster. Unnecessarily so.

Down from 20 to 15 seconds before your time bank (if any) kicks in.

I multi-table and like the new setup. Sorry, but if it takes you 20 seconds to act because you're playing 8/10/20 tables, maybe it's time to go down to 6. It's just too unfair to the rest of the table to have to often wait that long.

It doesn't take that long everytime. Just sometimes. If you have two difficult decisions to make, there should be more available. Why make it possible for you to play 8 tables, and then shorten the clock?

You want a place where too much time is given, try PokerStars. Party is lightning comparatively.

Anyway, my point is that it's too short. I have declared this, and it is now fact.

I don't mind it that much. Sometimes I time out when I'm involved in multiple hands at once, but if I have any money in the pot it will always go into my time bank. I rarely miss any important decisions.

"...I time out ..., but if I have any money in the pot it will always go into my time bank. "

Is this true? If I have contributed to the pot on any given hand, that I don't have to manually press the "timebank" button?

That is seriously my least favorite part about the new time clock: You have to wait until you have 5 seconds left before you can activate it, which in turn eats up valuable time monitoring the 5-second mark.

Whoa...sorry everyone, but seriously taking a long time on every decision because you decided to play more tables than you are capable of is disrespectful and ruins the game for the other players. I apologize Bigwig, and can see your point about difficult decisions that don't come up often. However, this is not the case for some multitablers.

It isn't the 'total time.' It's the time that you miss and get 'marked away' and see your QQ go flying into the muck when you turn your attention back to the table.

And there's no correlation between time to act and skill level that I'm aware of.

I disagree, it's in my best intrest to maximize my correct decisions. If you cannot deal with this then you have to decide what's more important, online poker or your time.

If you find yourself waiting for people to act then I suggest you open more tables so you don't run into this problem [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
