Title: Check/Call Any Post by: kinboshi on February 13, 2007, 09:55:57 PM On PokerStars (and other rooms) there is a tick box for 'Check/Call Any'.
I can see that someone might want to use that in Limit - but why on earth is it there on No Limit tables? Surely it's completely useless, and only there to catch people out who misclick? :dontask: Title: Re: Check/Call Any Post by: Ironside on February 13, 2007, 09:58:35 PM say you have a royal on the flop and want to slow play it check call any while you run off to toliet to relieve the bladder seems an option i have to use every day

One that I should have thought of, but sadly overlooked. ;ashamed; Title: Re: Check/Call Any Post by: mex on February 14, 2007, 01:10:15 AM use it when multi tabling just incase you miss your go whilst messing with other tables, extreme cases ie 10 plus tablers

Genuinely the only time I can think of when this ridiculous advance box could possibly be useful in a NL game. The only reason it exists is because developers are lazy when it comes to software conversion from the earliest Limit varieties into the now-popular NL. There's no excuse for new proprietary software to have this option - when reviewing sites on the Mason-Immanuel Scale of Usability (where 10 is 'can't think of improvements' and 1 is 'designed by child having asked best mate for rules of poker') NOT having a check/call any button gives them an automatic 5, no matter how shoddy the rest of the programming is. I reckon Stars, which in so many respects is so far ahead of the competition, should ask how often players have (a) used the NL check/call Any button with great effect, wherein they cunningly made the maximum from their nut hands, or nipped off those bluffs with a spot-on call of Any amount (b) accidentally ticked it and found that to have been a -EV move.

If it's the latter, I want to play where you're playing/make that deal with the devil... Title: Re: Check/Call Any Post by: Ironside on February 14, 2007, 01:42:33 AM no i run into them as in the someone on my table has one against me atleast once a day i thought they were common apart from the fact its only my oppos that seem to get them
