    in my opinion the time bank is way too long. when some jack ass is dc'd you have to wait 5mins? wtf is that?

    the timebank isn't too long...it just functions improperly. your timebank and disconnect protection should be different banks, not the same one. a 5 minute time bank for a 15 hour tournament is not too long

    stars has repeatedly said that it is not that they dont want to do it, it is because CANT do it with software they have.

    And ftr I think what they have is fine, its not their fault that you dont think about how much time bank you are using early in the tournament.

    Ideal solution: If anyone takes more than 15 secs to make a decision, stop the tourney clock until they act. Give 1 min total to everyone whenever.

    60 second time bank that reloads every hour is perfect.

    the every ahnd idea is horrid. before hand for hand it would tkae hours from all the stalling that would go on. would be absurd. ive played in a tourney where 5 people stall each hand as long as they could. if everyone got 1 min per hand we would play 2-3 hands per 10 mintes at times. if everyone played legit it would be cool, but since that would never happen this should never happen.

    i dont think most people use their whole time bank anyway so probably not a huge issue.

    truth is its probably worse that someone could stall for 4 mins on their own near the bubble or imagine 2 or 3 idiots doing it.

    stalling is not too big of an issue for me cause i don't see it much.

    but obv a 60 second reloadable clock would almost certainly be better than a 240 one.

    huh? I find this really hard to believe since not only did they hand write their own code for the whole poker client but they can toss infinite money at any bug or problem they have. They constantly add features and the clock is nuthin.
