End of Tournament Final Table Closing

edited June 2010 in Poker Chat
Often after a final table has completed a lot of players like to chat about the game that has just finished or just chat to arrange where they are going to play next, who is going to setup what game etc.

It can only be good for Sky to allow players 2 or 3 minutes at the end of a Final Table to discuss this before closing the table.

Other than starting a thread on the forum there is no way of quickly rearranging a match with friends.

Would it be possible to do this and extend the Final Table 'keep open time' to a couple of minutes rather than a few seconds?

I'm sure Sky would like players to stay around and play more games rather than switch off and do something else?

(I know this will get moved to community suggestions but no one else will see it there or give their opinion)

    I think this is a very good point if it is possible. Even just a 30 second warning would be great.

    10 seat S&G anyone?

    Agree on this - perhaps it would cause other people issues that don't chat though - ie the multi-tabling serious brigade??

    You can always click "Exit" or close the table.
    I think it's a good idea.

    It would give time to type in something other than "gg wp ul".

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for all your posts on this subject.

    I've got some feedback from the rest of the team -

    They really liked the idea and have placed the development on the product roadmap. Unfortunately we can't be too specific on dates (and it may be some way off) but as always more information/ announcements when we have it/nearer the time.

    thanks everyone.

    You can get round this by typing what you want to say before the final hand, things like this; 'keep practising mate', 'maybe you should buy a poker book' etc. ;)
