You can also show only 1 card when you muck your hand. The buddy list allows you to take player notes and give fish and shark icons to the different opponents. The hand replay function of the client works instantly and the hand histories are saved on your hard drive by default for 7 days. The tables are resizable and the graphics are outstanding.
