15 seconds just isn't enough

IrishWOLF

This has been bugging me for ages. The 15 seconds to decide in a hand, in both cash and tourneys just isn't enough,, especially when multi-tabling.

I started back here about a month or 2 ago after the whole full - T thing and only having 15 secs and no time-bank is making me leave - to go and play on Poker - S ..

Gota be done ,, will be back when all is updated

+1, they prob cant do it or never get round to doing it but in later stages of tournments more time sud be added or if its a big pot in cash

Maybe the Irish are just slow? TBH 15 seconds is plenty of time (just ask my wife lol) or are you including the smoke afterwards?

Its Not the WSOP Lol - most peeps online have usually made up there mind what they are going to do with there hand before it even rotates around to them.

Or is that just me?

I mean lets not forget - if you are last to react it could be at least 75 secs before its your turn to bet.

its pretty ridic that in a £500 comp that they will have for the new series you will only have 15seconds to act

+1 for some kind of timebank. The existing timebar is plenty 98% of the time, but there are definitly times when a bit of extra thought is required for an optimal decision. Invariably these are in large cash pots/crucial moments in MTTs which makes it all the more frustrating you can't think the hand through as much as you'd like.

In a way, I agree, but conversely, the lack of timebank is a definite edge for people who play the site regularly, versus players who will just turn up for a specific MTT.

A sad day when two Irishmen beat me to the punchline.

But I agree. Has to be regulated to stop it being taken advantage of but sometimes you just need to replay a hand from back to front before you call with K high.

I just get too excited at times. As IrishRover and Loonytoon's wifes will testify to :-)

hi all,

The default turn to act is 20 seconds, this applies to all cash tables and the vast majority of tournaments/sit and go's.

The exceptions are listed below

Speed/Turbo tournaments are 12 or 15 secs
Regular DYM's are all set at 15 secs due to their nature 
Sky Roller and Sunday Roller are both 25 secs

All UKOPS events will be 30 secs turn time to act (1 exception being the turbo event which will be 15 or 20 secs)

A timebank won't be introduced in time for UKOPS unfortunately but it is something we are keen to get done

Best Wishes

Adam

ofcourse the most hands played are usually around 15sec or less . But there are hands that you gota sit back and think . And when playing 3 or more tables time usually runs outs.. 

I.E , A-K vs uber tight player.. I know what you mean by what you say . 

This is an issue that I just want to bring to light ..

well thats some more good news. N1 Adam and Sky.

have to say the need of a timebank is there. i had a cash pot the other day. Flop comes good, and guy donk shoves 2x pot into me 2 players to act behind. Now usually in this situation i know well, but how to get paid from someone behind. At the time i paniced and shoved myself, but i know i could have done soo much better.

Yeah, as Don says, sometimes there is a lot of decisions to be made in a multiway pot with players left to act behind. Be nice to have an extra bit of time on the odd occasion. Got to be careful people dont take advantage.

Only 3 with me - fold, call, raise which makes 3 seconds. I normally let the timer run out which allows me time to fetch another beer from the fridge, so on reflection another few seconds would be handy ))

hi all i only play the small dym and one table at a time i would like to no how a time back would work say in mtt as thats the most played games
so then 20secs per hand 6 hands a leveal sky like i think so if you fold your hand in 4 secs you then get to bank 16 secs and so on and it starts again at the begining of every leveal as i no there is a lot of players that take there time just to try to put otheres off there game
