Feature request: In-game highlights to show what the advisor is noticing

Behavior modification through audio and visual prompts can help the user notice significant developments. I find myself wondering what to pay attention to as I play, often missing what is really important. E.g.: How many BBs I have, or a particular pattern in the flop.

Here is how the feature would work:

As a hand develops, the game highlights on the game board the factors that are most significant to an advisor’s decision. E.g.:

  • If the advisor notices that a bet was made that indicates that I should fold, the game would put a visible highlight on the chips the villain played so that I notice them too.
  • If the advisor sees a really strong flop, then the game puts highlights on the cards that make the flop so good that I should make a bet, or so bad that I should fold.

In behavioral science, this kind of training is faded gradually so that people internalize the thinking. Prompts like these could be strong at first, then gradually faded (literally) as I get better.
