Tight Poker

[crunny]

Does anybody know of a tool compatible with PS that displays how much time is remaining in the current blind level? I think this would be really cool!

I once used a stopwatch to keep track.

However I never fully implemented a "when are the blinds going to change" element to my game, so I found it largely useless.

It seems like something that would be trivially easy to create if you had the necessary programming background. I however have no answer to your question.

I use when the blinds raise to my advantage ALL THE TIME.
In a the recent multitable tourney I posted, on teh bubble I noticed 3 short stacks were going to have to put in over half their chips on 3 different tables all on the next hand (this was hand for hand) but the blinds didnt raise for another minute ½. I used my full time bank and as the hand got folded the blinds went up. All 3 big blinds on all 3 tables had over half their stack in the blind, they were FUCKED. Using that to your advantage is KEY!

It's in the "info" tab, it tells you how many minutes are left in the level.

Yeah this is what I use now.

I just thought someone might have made a countdown timer in minutes and seconds that could be used as an overlay.

That just seems wrong... Were you a shortstack too?? I see people do similiar things like this all the time in MTT's. Usually, just making the money is little money anyway and I always wonder wtf someone is thinking when they stall like that...

[mewsiclovr]

That sounds like a satellite strategy, I imagine. Haven't you been playing those lately Hultin?

I usually keep the lobby open. Of course, tha only works if you don't eleventy million table.

Yes this was a satellite strategy.

No I was not shortstacked, I was 2nd in chips for the whole MTT at the time. Making the money was the same for everyone in this case.

STALLING is a horrible idea because blinds raise faster for your short stack meaning you get to see less hands meaning you have less of a chance to double through.
Stalling is only good when you have an exact strategy behind it.

I always have the tournament lobby open too.

Yes this was a satellite strategy.

Makes more sense then.
