 |

Again, if your playing one table, you don't need it, but CLEARLY a ton of us are multi table players and to be TIMED OUT of a hand SUCKS and I shouldn't have to be forced to click the "TIME" button for more time or else I'm folded, it should be AUTOMATIC!
If your REGULAR time to act is over, your TIME CLOCK should AUTOMATICALLY click in instead of having to activate it, this is a HUGE problem since I not only have to juggle tables, but then I have to CLICK time also?
It should be AUTOMATIC!
This wont' slow down the game since you only have so much limited time anyway and once that's gone you gotta work it back up, this is a MAJOR Pet peave I got, not enough time and having to AUTO CLICK TIME instead of it just giving you the extra time automatically, can this PLEASE be changed? |

At least make it a toggle-able option so that players have the option to have the timebank auto enable.
+1
This is even more necessary since FTP cut the amount of time for actions back several months ago to create the time bank. |

| Time banks are for those tough spots when you need some extra time on a decision...NOT for extra time to get back to the table if you went to use the restroom and didn't sit out. Also I may want to time out BUT not use my extra thinking time. I like the way the have it set up. Seems thought out. |

| -1 to the OP. I play 6-8 cash tables at once, and I think it's a terrible idea. If you keep timing out, then play less tables. It's really simple. It drives me mad when people time out cos theyre playing too many tables. |

| If you pm mariojr and ask him very nicely he may clue you in to a script that will automaticly activate your time clock. Then again, he may not. |

I agrree with fire_eyes_2k.. if your timing out then play less tables, obviously you cant handle multi tabling if your timing out... The amount of time they allow you now before timing out is more than enough (same goes for disconnects), i actually think its too long and needs shortened, especially for turbo sng's... Which i am about to post a new thread on that subject.
Please full tilt dont take OP suggestion and go with it, some of us dont like waiting 30+ seconds on a another player, especially when they are abusing the privilege of "thinking time" due to multi-tabling |

You won't have too!
That will only happen ONCE and then my time clock will run out and I'd have to build it back up again, I'm not asknig for 30 seconds EVERY HAND, just to AUTOMATICALLY use my TIME BANK instead of having to click time is all!
It's not like I need it or use it on every hand and shouldn't have to cut down on multi tabling, it's only for very few RARE TIMES (once every hour or two) that I'll need extra time on a table, and there's NO REAOSN I should have to clikc a utton to ask for extra time, they shoudl just give it to me, and when that runs out, then I'll simply have as much time as everoyne else and time out on normal time till I build up my bank again, it REALLY won't affect anybody cause you cant' ABUSE IT cause once it runs out it's out until you build it up again |

| if you only plan on useing thise feature once or twice a session (i'm not sure how long this takes to recharge), why are you making such a big deal of it. If it was an issue every hand, then its an issue, and you should be playing less tables. Since its a supposedly an occasional thing, why **** about it? |

| Bad_Beat_4_U lets put it this way... do you think just because you wouldnt abuse it that others wont.. believe me if they do auto time banks it will get abused or get used by some jerk that gets up to take a crap and not have the courtesy to sit out thinking or knowing he can make it back in time just before the time bank runs out while the rest of us impatient bastages had to wait 30+ seconds on them.. which is definitely not cool in a tournament and extremely uncool in a turbo SnG |

I think you guys are missing the point of the time bank. It is not designed to increase your time to act normally. It is designed for the situation where you are faced with a tough decision and need a minute to think.
If they did what you said, they would liquidate your time bank in all your tournaments if you went to get a glass of water and did not get back in time. |

| Well I think all you multi-tablers should get less time. I am sick of you slowing the action. |

WOW 90 seconds if he's lucky, any man who thinks he can acheve this should be allowed the oppotunity to try ( wiping is a requisite ).
Personaly I have finished many a good book on even the most casual of visits... dunno.... maybe his bowels are RIGGED. |

| The time bank should not be activated... it is there for tough decision and not on whether or not you don't have time to act. If you multitabling that many tables that you keep timing out then play fewer tables, that should solve your problem. Sorry to sound rude about it |
