    @benc

    Hi,

    At the moment, yes, though it may return. It's a collateral issue from some cookie work that was implemented overnight.

    Can I ask - genuine question - why some players especially want to hide their balance? I'm not entirely sure I understand why it matters.

    PS - I'm not suggesting it does not matter, just curious why it matters.

    For me, it was this.

    The current balance would ordinarily take yonks to update.
    Whereas, if you hid the balance and opened it again, it would update far quicker.

    Thanks for the quick response Tikay. For me playing high volume high variance games across all different stakes its helpful to completely seperate from monetary swings (whether running good or bad) this lowers the effect of negative or positive tilt and helps with just focusing on making the right decisions, the balance does show up at the end of every game and when buying in to cash games but i've trained myself to be able to register/buyin without viewing the balance will just do the same for lobby if need be, just wondered what the situation was.

    I guess nobody has found the account page cookie yet.
    Crumbs left there.

    Way ahead of its time. Forget all this modern GTO nonsense, Hoto done been there, and doned it properly.
