on other sites such as poker stars or carbon poker they have a feature that when you hold the mouse over your name, your folded cards will appear.
the best site for this is pokerchamps but havent been on there for a while.
i would very much like this to happen because it doesnt just make it easier it also makes the site more attractive. im sure more people than me have seen this. |

If you fold your hand, you can put your mouse over your name and it will say Js8d for Jack of Spades and the Eight of Diamonds for example.
Not exactly the "picture" of the cards, but it's better than nothing.
And I agree, pokerstars does a good job w/ that. |

yeah, i really like that feature on pokerstars ... u can look at your folded hand, while the hand is still in progress, by moving your mouse over your name ... you get a transparent image ...
yeah, you can see your hand on fulltilt as well by moving your mouse over your name ... however, the text form is a major pain ... just like it's a pain reading the hand history on pokerstars ...
come on fulltilt ... make you make it graphical?

TO ALL READERS: if you agree, plz make a reply post with a simple statement that you emphatically agree that this would be an awesome new feature ...
PS; this feature is especially helpful in omaha games where you have to read 4 hole cards ...
PSS; the more replies of support, the greater the likelihood of fulltilt implementing this in the near future ...  |

i guess its a nice "feature" but does it really matter?
Once you folded, you're done!
Had you called - the outcome would have been different as movement from your mouse and other timings all go into the RNG anyway. The actions you took changed the outcome of the flop turn and river, so really, knowing what you folded is pointless. All it can do is twist you up that you folded quads  |

dills, theoretically, i suppose you are correct ...
but i also like the feature, especially since i play omaha ... if i fold on the flop, for instance, i would still like to review my cards after the turn and river come out ... on stars, this was super easy ... it's really a pain trying to read, e.g., As Ks 9c 8d ... first, i have to squint, then i have to concentrate a bit ... it takes an extra 2-3 seconds for my brain to process ... that's far too much time considering how fast hands come out when you are multi-tabling ...
whether it matters or not (theoretically speaking), i've been doing it on stars and out of habit, i do it on fulltilt as well ... it would be GREAT if it was graphical (instead of text) just so out of practicality, it can save players like me a few sec each time they do this ...
come on fulltilt, i hope to see this implemented in the near future ... thanks in advance  |

then again you could do what you are supposed to do: remember your cards.
I would prefer they fix the issues first.
I dont' really want anymore of a load on my computer. FTP running at close to 90MB of memory is enough, that and the constant hanging and timing out. Far more important |

haha I was playing against KronX in a hand once, folded 33 cuz I didn't hit the flop and he was betting hard (like that matters against him) but the turn and river were both 3s haha |
