ACTION CLOCK In online and live tournaments

Who has not had a bit of anger when their opponent takes almost an eternity to continue the move, now this will end
Problems faced in poker tournaments around the world is the excessive delay of some players, poker stars "Action Clock" this in all its tournaments
For you the delay of the playing time changes your strategy?

Slow-play has never bothered me,but i know for sure it bothers alot of people(that`s why people do it!) But i think it`s a good idea,,if just to keep the game moving along at a reasonable pace

This is a good irritant for your opponents. Slow play to me does not affect. Everyone plays as he likes.

dont let them know it bothers you or they will use it against u

Two weights and two measures

1) exemple
We received indications that have deliberately delayed the games, and after analyzing their hand histories, we confirm that this is true. Some of your hand histories have been added below. In them it is possible to verify that it has used the total time allowed to act in basic decisions of desistência. This is unacceptable as it demonstrates a poor degree of etiquette, and is against the spirit of the game.

It may take time allotted for difficult decisions, or when you need to decide how to play the hand, but delaying the games deliberately is not tolerated. Your game and chat privileges have been suspended pending your acknowledgment and agreement with our requests.

In order for your privileges to be reinstated, please respond to this email with an exact copy of the following statements:

1) I agree to stop this abuse and will never again delay the game on purpose again.

2) I am aware that depending on the case, any future breach may result in the permanent termination of my account, at pokerstars' description.

Note that you will be asked to resubmit your response if the statements were not accurate.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

But both were free games, so I really do not understand the parameter for analyzing

Only thing I really dislike about live poker. You get 2 slow players and the game takes forever! I'm at a table to play poker, not watch some guy think for five minutes over a min raise.

Shot clock is the best addition to any poker gsame

Good, Not before time (forgive the pun)

I've seen some tournaments with a watch. I think it should be a rule, because hands on live take forever. The blinds go up before you can look at two hands.

Think you need to give less time to the decision. Poker bole will be fast and dynamic.

Yes, the delay in the action of the opponent can mean something, it fits an interpretation and seeks this reading of the opponent.

Each medal has two sides: and there are players who are very fast, and this also affects the game of rivals.

I am in favour of some kind of time clock for live play. Online, it depends on whether a player is delaying to avoid being on the bubble, or if they were really disconnected. I have had hands with AA and KK that were disconnected....man, that hurts....in one case I was in the middle of a hand with AA and got disconnected after the turn....my opponent could see that I was disconnected, and had to bet the minimum to win the hand. That was heart-breaking, as I lost about $25 I had already put into the pot.

Often the delay also represents the waiting for the bubble to burst, I have played several tournaments in which the participants when it was very close to the bubble burst were taking time to guarantee some awards.

Yes delay the decision of the player did not once frustrating and I changed tactics

I like the idea. Some people take so long even folding. Maybe not all tourneys. But I think poker should try it out. For 90% of hands it shouldn't take long than 60 seconds to act. Plus the time extensions of course with shot clock. For the hard hands .
