above.I completely disagree with this statement and the implied implication. IF I run the time bank, utilize all of it (which is usually full because I rarely use it while at the table). That gives me up to 60 seconds to get back and see another hand without losing a potential blind if you can't see that - oh well!
...The only way you would lose a potential blind is if you're near the blinds already. And you're near the blinds, you might as just well wait. So, yeah, I can't see how you're going to lose a blind here. Please explain.
You might lose a potential ante, but that's irrelevant as you pay antes whether you're away or not.
as for dropping a deuce never said that was what I did but go ahead and assume - just as you assume what I am doing is negative to my own play.
...Did me making a joke about whatever you did away from the game upset you that much? It doesn't matter what you were doing.
As for it being negative to everyone at the table? If everyone stops using the time bank I am happy to do so as well but it even happens in CC games. So I do not see the point in doing something to fulfill an etiquette of the game only a small portion of players adhere to especially in bingo fests like public freerolls.
...Where did i say to stop using the time banks? You can use them in legitimate situations. Leaving the game and making everyone wait for your timer to go down, thus slowing the game and negatively affecting other players is a dick move.
Guess what? Just because other people are dicks at the table and doing the same thing doesn't mean you have to as well. It is possible to be the bigger person.
So I am a dick for not sitting out and utilizing a time bank meanwhile players constantly do this whether they are playing multi-tables or a single table or streaming and get distracted. Their are countless reasons this happens and it happens often, but its nice to see that you have a clear and concise understanding of exactly what the issue is, try to imply I am shooting myself in the foot, regardless of being a part of that particular instance - your insight is awe inspiring!
...Well, you were a dick for not sitting out in the first place. Please tell me how you utilized the time bank when you weren't even there to play the hand.
Then you purposely slowed that game by running down the clock when 2 players upset you. Again, your actions don't just affect 2 players at the table, it affects everyone at the table. Why do the other 6 players, who did nothing, have to wait an extra 30-60 seconds extra when you're in a hand just because your feelings got hurt? Why do they now have to play less hands/level because you want to be a dick to 2 people?
I understand that time banks sometimes go off for people who multitable, live stream, lose connection, whatever. That's not the point. The point is, you admitted to purposely doing this and purposely slowing the game down and that's something I don't agree with.
