I have been trying different poker rooms online and find that every room users a betting bar to raise a bet. I find this sometimes annoying as i cannot bet the exact amount i want to. For example the BB is 50 in a tournament game, and i wanted to raise to 250, but after the bar hits 200 it just jumps to 300. Is it only me? haha

 In most rooms you can click the box and type in your bet.

On cryptologigc they call it "custom betting", which sounds exciting.

I hate slider bars!

Absolute has the worst one ever, and worse, they only let you bet in increments of the blind. You can't bet .65, say, unless it puts you all-in. So you can't bet the pot unless it's even.

Plus, half the time typing doesn't work.

If I ever designed an interface it would have buttons to raise 2x, 3x, 4x preflop if you're the first one to raise, and i'd have a "bet pot" button and "half pot" button on later betting rounds.

Also, buttons would NEVER pop up in places where other buttons just were, causing misclicks. That's my biggest complaint with absolute.

That being said...I play Absolute. ::Sigh:: they're slowly improving the software. Very, very slowly.
