Disabling time bank from activating automatically from the blinds?

[FatalError]

i got to my computer 3-4 minutes late for the wcoop today and posted BB first hand so i lost my whole 120 second timebank, i think there is a better way to hand this sitution by not activating it automatically in first 15 minutes or something

shouldnt u of been sitting out if you werent there?

if you a blind on hand one you will time all the way through your bank, so it happens randomly

i think what he's saying is tha tyou were by the computer and clicked on 'ok' to sit down. and then you left, and were in teh bb so it caused you to lose it.

your timebank shouldnt run unless you hit the "extend time" button.

fulltilt got it right and they didn't even implement it first [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Auto-running the timebank provides disconnect protection.

And some plain stupidity protection. I have more than once experienced the horror of seeing a lock hand folded on the turn with half of my chips in a monster pot, because I'd spent too much time figuring out how to get the rest in - forgetting my time bank was gone ...

On pokerstars if you register for a tournament and you are logged in, when the tournament starts the table pops open, if you are in the SB or BB on the first hand when the action gets to you it will burn your whole time bank before you fold.

This is the exception i think could easily be handled by stars.

I know coming back from the breaks whenever there's an ante, including stud games, it'll do that. Very irritating especially in a turbo. I don't know about first hand of the tourney if you don't click the button, but it's still something that can/should be fixed.

are you sure this happens if you don't click "ok"

because until you do, you're sitting out.

so if it pops up while you're away, it wont happen, but if it pops up, you click ok, and then wander off, it will.

time bank comes on auto if you have any chips invested into a pot already
