Shot Clocks in Live Poker. The way forward?

[kinboshi]

Of course u should be able to call it in cash. When someone takes forever every hand why should they waste my time messing about or tanking when they nearly always fold but don't want to? It's even worse if it's a timecharge game.

That's not when the clock is usually called though, is it?  Like in the situation I mentioned above, I had a big decision on one hand - and it was the player who was holding the play up every hand who called the clock on me.  Isn't that usually the case?

Also, it was a cash game at DTD - so not timecharged.

I don't think anyone is opposed to people taking time when facing a tough decision. Guy said u should never call the clock in cash. I disagree.

I think shot clocks would actually be a really bad idea as they would make the game too regimented. I think instead people need to clock call a lot more.

No time constraints in cash, and the long decisions are often huge pots. You dont need some bloke youve never met before calling a clock on you when you have a 1k pot to decide on. And its always the people who arent regs/ new to the table. Mates/ regs rarely call the clock ive found.
