Is it right that the response time in the NL 6max games i play is ridicuosly short ? And the great timebank feature was removed ?! I play on Battlefield.

Rabit cam rules.

I think the changes are moving in a good direction. While I agree there could be a lot more, honestly the time I put in at prima is for the games, and catering to the 2+2 crowd probably won't help that aspect [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img].

I guess the only thing I don't like about the new patch is that in the summary mode it doesn't show your dealt cards. I am to lazy to see if you can turn off the deal animation now (which is pretty fast, but not as fast as seeing that little text message in the chat box).

Even with the annoyances like no instant hand histories, I have always like the software because it gets hands in fast. Now that there is a time bank it is pretty sweet.

Oh, one thing, make your standard size tables a little shorter. Here is how to size them:
Set up a monitor on 1600 by 1200
Turn the task bar to always on
Open 4 tables.

If you can position them with no overlap (prefably with a small buffer beyond that) you have the size right.

Yeah, this is a huge pain. Apparently some tables are now "fast tables", which allow 7 seconds for response and don't offer a time bank. They don't even give you a warning beep, they just fold your hand before you realize it. Impossible to play on if you're multi-tabling. This is fine if people want it, but they need to be labeled better. There are a couple of tables called "Turbo", which makes sense, but other "fast" tables aren't labeled at all. It just says that it is a fast table in the chat box when you pull up the table. Which I usually don't notice. So I end up playing 1 orbit on these stupid things because I don't know its a fast table until I start getting folded.

I agree with those that said keep 300NL/500NL - those are great levels.

Another issue - my lobby often turns off all filters for no apparent reason. I have to click the "NL Hold Em" button off and back on to reset my filters.

Buddy list is incredibly silly. Inviting a "buddy" would basically be like saying to someone - "you are a huge fish, I'd like to know where you are at all times so that I can follow you".

I like the new bankroll and in play numbers at the top of the lobby, but it would be great if there was a "total" number as well.

Also, popup tables like Full Tilt and Stars do, in a queued fashion. So, suppose I have to make a decision on table A, table B now requires my attention, instead of popping it up instantly, wait for me to finish action on table A, then pop up table B. As far is I can see now this can't be done? The 'Bring table to front' option always brings B in front of the other tables.

This has been needed very badly. Right now I have to click from the toolbar to do an action at each table. The current pop-up system just flicks between tables so fast I end up clicking wrong buttons on the wrong tables.
