PokerStars Speeds Up Gameplay Following Player Feedback


PokerStars has announced changes to the speed of the game following player feedback. The time to make a decision in hyper-turbo SnG tournaments has been reduced from 16 to 12 seconds. The time to make a decision in non-turbo SnG tournaments has been reduced from 18 to 16 seconds. Many popular SnG tournaments now start 10 seconds after the completion of participant registration. The average time of a played super-turbo tournament has decreased from 2.9 minutes to 2.4 minutes.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
