Live Poker : Decison Time & Time Bank

[GlennDuskTillDawn]

Recreational players will be put off in my opinion. These guys will probably play 15 minute clock comps down their local or in leagues etc and then to come to DTD and be told they have X amount of time to make a choice would be off putting. Would love to see specialist line of TURBO comps where this format can be applied to specific comps. That way people can try it and if they enjoy it have the choice to continue to play more.

I love the idea.

But for me it should be for when they first open the action and only this. I.E - far too many live players sitting there for 30-45 seconds deciding whether to open or not. Or whether to call someone's bet, surely if u look down at 74 off suit u don't need a decision? These sorts of players think they are on TV and need to take the EXACT amount of time for EVERY decision wtf?

I think if you are generally considering a call for your tournament life then you should get some leeway.

Agree with others about tweaking it in places, but should defiantly put it into place to punish the wannabe actors of the poker world.

Really pleased that after seeking views and taking on board feedback Simon has decided not to go ahed with this. Exactly what people should do when thinking up new ideas.

I think it's a sensible decision not to implement for all tourneys, but I would definitely be up for an occasional time bank turbo event.

Like this idea to a certain extent, needs tweaking in a few ways, the main being the amount of time.

I believe 15 seconds to be no where near enough time. i think if you done it with 60/90/120 for buyins of 150/300/1000 would sound about right.

Hope we can make it work

Good example of using the forum (and facebook) as a feedback mechanism working very well

As players can we not do something about other players slow playing? My issue is with

- Players not paying attention so either they arent putting in blinds/antes when they should or they dont know when its their turn.
- Players dwelling with simple decisions for a bit of "tv time"

A friendly word at the table, a bit of banter if you like, can normally encourage them to pay a bit more attention or to be a bit quicker. If it becomes more of a problem then the dealers can get involved. Do the players slowing things down actually realise they are doing it?

There is always someone slowing down play not putting their antes in, my solution is that the last person to put their ante in pays double, though if everyone gets theirs in within 10 seconds there is no penalty.
