Hide bidding hesitations by showing all preceding bids at once. Like they do in the big tourneys, only better!

Sometimes hesitations give info to P or Opps. In big tourneys, there are diagonal table screens to hide partners, and p/opp bids are presented together.

This can easily be done in BBO, hiding all 3 previous bids (& who's turn it is) until it is your turn to bid.

I see only one complication - telling TD who is hesitating in tourneys. This could be handled by having an extra button, or by having an auto replace function when a player is silent (no bid, no chat) for > 30 seconds.

This is an old and frequent suggestion. We decided long ago that we're not interested in doing this.
