Petition to kill off preflop stalling

[Swittie]

I have absolutely no problem with stalling. some ppl are playing for real money, that they will get withdrawn to their bank accounts. I think cookies or whoever is smart for doing this. ppl who are playing for fun and know they will never see a cent will not understand this.

i do not believe in poker etiquette one bit. there is no etiquette when money (evil) is involved. money is the modern day evil, and poker is no longer a "gentlemans" game. its a college kid game.

i wish i could make a post about fish n donkeys and removing them from the games... but i cant. I personally like playing good players for the sport. so time clock stalling is just something you have to deal with (as i deal with fish n donkey's( usually by taking their chips) .

poker is in no way fun to me, i like it for money and crushing souls. STALLERS, GET YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!

theres nothing left to be said after this, ty poke, i love u, and lets fack this old etiquette guys azzes with their own pipes......HAHAHAHAHHHA ...... xDD ........

Its hard to be that guy but yes always betting at 2 seconds gives you the edge of not having a timing tell. Plus if you put your opponents on crazy tilt like stated above you have a huge edge. I used to do this a lot. Not a terrible strategy. Not to mention if you tend to act to fast or have bet regret this will allow you to clearly think through all the possibilities and ranges of your opponent and make an informed decision vs having a play in your head before your opponent even bets.

very nice said man........i totally agree with ya!!

if clock is there, then the clock is there. can say this or that or even a please don't do that, but really... there are rules set in place and those rules can be used to the max.

carbon games, you don't get any extra time. I notice a few times I need a few seconds to adjust my bet. I have had so many numerous times I had to just check or press min bet when I have an outrageous hand or whatever it may be and the outcome be whatever it may be.

point being after awhile everyone complaining about this, it will be shortened just like the carbon games are now. you cant even accumulate an extra bank time. even for the final table. I have no problem with that, I have learned to like it but just saying it is tough sometimes to not have that extra time.

yeah, i agree with that too, we really should have AT LEAST some time bank in Carbon's games too. IS THERE ANYWAY WE COULD POSSIBLY GET SOME TIME ON CARBON FOR MERCY ZAB?? ........HUH?? ..... thank you for reading this !!!!! .......

damn swittie you like this topic, yes?

im on man, IM ON!!!! .......

[cgoldman]

from what I remember in the last Carbon there was no timebank in the tournment

I completely agree with Cookies and Poke. This topic is stupid. It is an element of the game.

Etiquette is dead and one person's rude is another's strategy. I get bashed at for folding almost every hand. Apparently that's rude too? It's just a part of the game.

Grow up everyone.

Thumbs up!

The time bank is there for a reason....In my opinion you can use every second every hand and its your right....If it tilts people and gives you an edge then that's a plus...I myself have had times where I use the whole time bank just to let people bust theirselves close to itm....One way to get it out of your head is open up another game...play two games you wont notice the stalling...

I think the timebank should be comperable to the limits being played. Freerolls therefore should have a very short time alotment. Alot of sites in the past used to (and maybe they still do....somewhere) have variable timebanks, with the larger buy-in tourneys having up to 3 minutes to think about a decision. After thinking about it, I would hate to see that priviledge taken away because people were abusing it.
