But permanently, instead of having to do it every new table?

Hi @LeRipperBal

Thank you for your interest in Stake Poker!

Please open the settings menu in the top-right corner of the Poker client and uncheck “Squeeze hole cards” from the Table settings section.

Once this option is disabled, your cards will no longer be displayed as real table cards, and you won’t need to squeeze them at the start of each round to see them.

No worries man, glad you got it sorted. That setting stays saved once you turn it off, so you're good.

Yeah it sticks once you toggle it off, no need to do it every time.

Yeah just uncheck “Squeeze hole cards” in the settings and it’ll stay off across all tables, no need to mess with it every time

tbh it's a bit hidden in the settings but once you uncheck it, that's it — works for every table after that

Yeah that setting is global, uncheck it once in the settings menu and it'll stick across every table you join

Yeah just hit the settings gear and uncheck “peek at cards” or whatever it’s called, it’s global so you set it once and forget it

Yeah, it's a global setting so once you uncheck it, it's off for good across all tables.

Happened to me last week, it saves across all tables.

It threw me off the first time too, especially when I realized each table kept asking about the corner peek. I always forget that some toggles hide inside the global preferences rather than being a per table thing.

Did you also notice if turning it off changes how fast the animations play out, or is it purely visual?

global toggle is cleaner than doing it every table

wait so if you change the global setting, does it also affect the casino games with cards or just the poker tables?

I think the global toggle buried in settings is way less hassle, doing it per table each time would drive me nuts honestly

I hate when settings arent truly permanent, you untick something and the next fresh table just resets it like you never touched a thing. Drives me up the wall tbh

Go into the main game settings from the lobby, not inside a table, and look for the card squeeze or peek option there. That one usually sticks across sessions unlike the in game checkbox.

honestly the fact that it resets every new table is the part that bugs me the most, like why even have a setting if it wont stick

once i joined 10 tables in a row and forgot to uncheck it every time, almost threw my mouse out the window lol

drives me crazy too, they make you toggle it per table and it just never sticks. i literally thought my settings were broken until i reaized the global option is hiding in the lobby menu not the table one

yeah its one of those thngs where the in game checkbox is basically a prank, it never saves and you just end up unchecking it out of muscle memory. finding the actual global setting in the lobby menu feels like a secret little quality of life fix they dont really advertise.

i actually kind of like the little peek in some spots cause it builds suspense but i get the frustration. seems like the devs assume the lobby toggle covers it and then just forget to patch the table level one properly.

The lobby setting is way less annoying than chasing that checkbox every single table, it actually stays off which is the whole point.

I hate how the table checkbox is basically a lie, it got me twice before I dug around in the lobby menu for the real switch. That global toggle is a lifesaver if you dont want to fight it every single hand

Yeah I’m glad no more changing settings for every table now that I found the global option
