From what I read on Paul Phillips commented that if someone took 10 minutes to raise with the nuts then it would be bad. He made no mention of the actual hand at all.

If you look on 2+2, he clearly states that waiting for two minutes with the nuts is wrong.

In the thread about it (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=2789361&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1)?

I haven't read any others, but this is the closest I can come to waiting 2 minutes with the nuts is wrong:

Burning clock to fake a tough decision is lame, lame, lame.

But is 2 minutes burning clock? In this case you I suppose could say it was as you clearly want to raise with the nuts and he has less than the minimum raise left, but if both stacks are big I can see it would be reasonable to take 2 minutes to figure out how much you want to raise to get the most from the hand.

In the $1000 tourney in Bergen in June, I busted out like this:

I go all in on the river with a J high flush. Person to my left thinks for 1 minute and the calls with the nuts, A high flush.

THAT is a bad play. I was gutted. No need to do that - we were heads up in the pot, and all the cards were dealt.
