I really liked the the time limit DTD had when I last played there. 1 extension and one extra for the ft. Really helped the game move at a quick pace.

I'd like to see a shot clock personally, although it may bring more problems with it.

I'd also really like the stigma of calling the clock removed. If someone is taking the p1ss and unnecessarily tanking then let the td deal with it. The TD cannot deal with it if he's not informed.

I don't think anyone is begrudging people taking their time over key decisions, but it is the constant tanking over pathetic decisions that wind people up.

I can't understand how someone who plays 24 tables online takes 2-3 minutes to fold 58o in a live game.

20 minutes, 20 seconds to act with a 1 minute timebank chip. Extra timebank chip if you FT.

Sounds good. Wish our local game had this in force. Some of them take 20 seconds to realise it's on them.

Tanking with 58o is fine if you're considering a squeeze...
