Poker Mac

Full Tilt Poker has released a major update to their client. My last post mentioned that there was a problem with the download. That is over and the results are in….awesome. The new features rock. Here they are according to FTPDoug:

A) Tournament Dollars – Most people know what this is, so I won’t get too into it. It does mean that you will be able to unregister from just about every tournament you satellite into and get T$ credited to your account.

B) Auto Top-Up – This was all you guys. Just go to “Options->Set Buy-In Preferences…” and you’ll now see a checkbox under Ring Game Auto-Rebuy for Auto Top-Up. If you have it checked, you will be “topped up” to your preferred amount should you fall below it at the end of a hand.

C) Sit Out Next Blind – Or, more accurately, Sit Out Next Big Blind. Only found on Speed tables, and does just what it sounds like it does. We also changed the sit back in behavior on Speed tables so you no longer have to perfectly time your return so as not to post blinds out of position. Now when you click “I’m Back” you’ll be put into “waiting for big blind” mode. So, if you haven’t been playing the Speed tables for either reason, you should definitely check them out again.

D) Player Color Codes and Notes – The great feature suggestion by EWS87 in this thread has been implemented. You now see your color coded notes for players from the lobby. If you hover your mouse over a player you also see any specific notes you have on them. We also fixed the problem of losing notes if your client isn’t shut down gracefully. When you click Save and Exit now on your note, the note actually saves right then and there. What a concept.

Here’s a shot of the new Cashier window with tournament dollars listed

And here’s a new view of a table in the lobby – note the yellow triangle indicating a tagged player with a note and color assigned. Let’s fish.

In addition he mentions these a bunch of smaller changes. The full thread is at:

Full Tilt just announced their new payment option – echecks. Apparently you can deposit directly from your Bank Account. Since I’ve blown my latest bankroll, I think it’s time to re-up with echecks.

Things I wonder:

• I wonder if this will spread to other rooms.
• I wonder how fast the deposit happens

Update.

So I tried to open Full Tilt to check out the new echecks, and my mac is having a hard time downloading it – some kind of error which stuffit expander is identifying.
