In Response to Re: will there ever be a time bank on sky or are we stuck with a blue line? : There's plenty more times that this. While i agree there are drawbacks - MattBates covered most of these imo so won't go into them, theres plenty of advantages aswell. You've mentioned one of these. I think theres far more spots where they'd be even more useful. Posted by The_Don90
Yea they may be usefull for mtt final table eg but for cash id hope they were never added.

I haven't played alot of cash with a timebank to comment on that
I defo agree they shouldnt be on some games. But on the whole they are needed IMO

You gotta imagine if it was a 30 second time bank on top of the original 15 seconds and you got more than 1 player using it per hand on a 6 max it would be an utter nightmare theres just no reason to need more than 15 seconds to make a decision in cash maybe for mtt in the very late stages but besides that just no need.

There are many spots which are pretty close in poker. These spots have the biggest differance on your win rate. At any time of any stage of any game these spots can come up - while i agree I wouldn't have them on DYMs - theres lots of reasons to have them at any stages.
At the same time this doesn't have to be a static 30 seconds. Say its a maximum of 30 seconds per hour per player (30 seconds on each table would be seperate) and it only ever replenished to 30 seconds - would this be more appealing?
Play a lot of cash 6+ tabling on a site with timebanks and it doesn't slow the games down much at all. Probably only dip into maybe 2-3 times a session but it's nice to have a bit of extra thinking time for really tough decisions.
Fwiw you only get 10 secs added per hour so it's not like everyone is tanking for 30+ secs every hand.

this is probably the perfect way of having a time bank in MTTs and it cold be only allowed to get used post flop that way people are going to be forced to waste chips for the sake of letting the timer drop.
think of it like this most sports including football now have technolegy to help out with very tough decisions and in sports where it's common such as cricket they only allowed 2 challenges.
so 30 seconds through the whole hour and only allowed to be used post flop as you will have wasted chips yourself, so those who take an MTT seriously will consider it stupid to limp in and them who do limping frequently are already consistantly causing the time to go down by as long as a minute.

Would like to see something similar here...
