Anyone? Don’t you feel the need for a time bank? At least for med/high stakes, where probably other not much time wouldn’t be lost by afk players? I really feel sometimes I just need 10 or 20 extra seconds. I know it’s not real money, but still, imo it would be nice. Would it be difficult to implement, devs?
Well, now Sarah the Malcontent is gonna yell at you and the devs and the mods (and me, as usual) for not merging this with or posting this to the existing thread on time stuff.
I want a time bank. nmhk
Total response time would be less nmhk
and the game would be faster. The biggest asdfg
slowdown in games is caused by a few players that always bnmbnm
use all their clock/and or playing many tables.

With a timebank i’ve time to grab a cup of coffee during the play 
But it is very annoying when 2 or 3 players are doing that, their turn can be their whole timebank (often 1 min). Can slow down very much.
No we do not need a time bank they only take advantage of it No one needs that amount of time to make up there mind If they want to take that much time they should have difference tables for the slow thinkers either your in or your out either you bet or fold very simple ENJOY THE GAME AT A SHORTER TIME PACE
I would like to see an optional timebank added to the tables, I feel like implementing this would be quite easy and specially for the highstakes this can be so important. When i make decissions for 100m+ chips worth a lot of money i think a timebank is needed at times.
Part of the fun in poker is being in tough spots some extra time can help here.
Also when playing for big money a option to run it twice could be very helpfull.
Kind Regards

I can handle a lot, but the 20 sec timer is far too long, especially with the aggressive blinds schedule.
In almost every tourney there are always the players who let it run down every chance they can, its selfish and against the rules.
Shorten the timer, but add a time bank for the tougher calls.
My personal suggestion would be a replenishing bank that starts at 10 secs, but call fill to 15 secs. Every time an auto call or auto fold is clicked, 1 sec is added to bank.
There are zero 1 minute clocks on Replay
it’s not simple and that’s not how poker works
This is interesting to me, sounds kind of cool but I wonder if it would replenish the time bank too quickly. I use the auto fold a ton, never the auto call though. Most real money sites give you back once second for every minute of game play unless I’m mistaken.
Jerry, I like your suggestion of ‘Every time an auto call or auto fold is clicked, 1 sec is added to bank.’ That is thoughtful and creative.
I am one of the players who, whether I am playing a 10-sec or 20-sec time-to-act tourney, I always take my time and have found the results are an improvement to my game result and player rating. You certainly can call that selfish, but it’s my call alone to make.
And Jerry, I don’t know where you got the idea that taking all the time you are allowed to act, even all the time, is against the rules here at Replay Poker. Anyone is allowed all of their time to act on every hand. The only applicable rule here is that all players must wait their turn to play, no matter how fast or slow the players ahead of them actually play.
Is it possible to add a 60 sec time bank to tournaments? I mainly play inhouse league games, and having the ability to host a league game with the option to add time banks would be a major quality of life improvement in my opinion.
Its probably been talked about before so sorry to beat a dead horse, but there are a handful of hands every tourney that need more than 15 secs or so to make a decision. Allowing for this extra time when needed can encourage better play by giving players time to suss out the intricacies of a position. Poker is a skill game, but we undermine skill by forcing hasty decision making.
Anyways that is all, its not a big deal in the slightest was just curious if it were at all possible to add in some form.
For a site with a 15 “shot clock” a 60 second time bank would probably be a bit excessive but a time cards to reset the shot clock up to 3 times a tourney would be a good feature if it can be done. Of course, I don’t want to give a great player like yourself more time to think about your decisions lol.

I completely agree. It forces a more ABC style of play and doesn’t leave much room for intricacies. Would LOVE time cards/bank, at least for the bigger MTTs.
If I am buying in 5M and competing for a top prize over 100M chips, I think it’s reasonable to ask a little more time 2-3 times in the course of the event to really think over a spot.

How about to encourage quick play as well, every time you fold within one second of your time preflop, that would add one second to your extended time bank, which could add up to at most as your usual amount of time, potentially doubling your time to think over a tough spot.

Thought about my idea, I’d add that if you call, check, bet or raise within one second of your time preflop, you would get that added second to your extended time bank.
This is an excellent idea a few time chips per tournament to reset the clock would be great.
I do enjoy putting people in tough spots, a little extra time might just be the antidote.

With a mind like supercomputer, a split second is long enough for the swamp to make the perfect optimal play, but hey, take as much time as you wish

I a person cannot make a decision in 15 seconds, they should not be playing!
IF a person…
It depends a lot on how deeply you want to think about each decision. This is a good read IMHO: https://www.partypoker.com/blog/en/its-the-same-game-but-it-isnt.html
I’m not thinking that hard about the game, but I’m also not Jason Koon. It takes me more than 15 seconds to figure out what size I want to use, how many chips that is, and then typing that value in sometimes.
People seem to think the play on Replay is particularly bad because it’s a play money site, but I’m convinced that people acting too quickly and just clicking buttons hurts the quality of the poker played here far more.
