Pokerstars Time Bank


Recommended Posts

Some of you all probably already know this, but I just wanted to put it out there for those who don't.I emailed Stars Support and asked them about how the time bank in NL cash games are replenished.Thank you for emailing us about this feature of our PL/NL games. Dueto feedback from our players about Pot Limit and No Limit (PL/NL)games, we decided to implement the "Time Bank" feature that we firstintroduced in our tournament events.When a player has a particularly difficult decision to make in atournament, when they are close to the prize money, or when the prizemoney jumps significantly we allow them to "call time" to think aboutsuch difficult decisions. In such situations, a "Time" button willappear, and you simply click on the button to request additionalthinking time.Similarly in our PL/NL games, players can be faced with a difficultdecision to make for large amounts of money, since, unlike in a limitgame, there is no upper limit to the amount that you could lose on anyparticular hand.Thus, we implemented a "Time Bank" for our PL/NL games as well, whichworks as follows:-When you sit at the table you will receive a Time Bank of 30 seconds.-For every 50 hands that you play at that table, your Time Bank willincrease by 10 seconds.If there is anything further that I can help you with, please let meknow.

Never realized the more hands you play at a table the more your timebank increased. Interesting. Now I wonder if this applies to their "fast" tables too. I suppose that would defeat the purpose.

It does apply to the fast tables, but the time bank is smaller (i think.) I played for an hour or so at a table today and noticed i had 40 seconds in the time bank.
