The other day i dook a really bad hit right on the bubble,,,realized if I could just make it too the money id have enough cash for another tourny..so i used up every second of every play and just did make it to the money. usually i view this as poor play, i hurt the chances of those strugglinjg in the middle,,helped only the top few players and myself...seems like a bit of poor sporstmanship,,,but....i got to play again....
Why not, if it help you stay in the game, how is that abuse
if you can advance go for it .......
Online, its all fair because you'll get timed out after a certain time. If you do it live, I think thats bad sportsmanship
Good clock usage and timing blind levels is an important part of online poker. If you don't use all the tools available to you, you are killing yourself. GL
yeah,,,sportsmanship be dammned...i did live to fight another day....those poor slobs with smallish stacks were hurt with less hands to see.
it "felt" a bit rude..but I was NOT going to just lay down! it seems that for every thing to do there is a positive and a negative..
good thinking beter den lose money use clock
I use the clock as an advantage for whenever I'm in a short stack and usually it turns out for the best and I make the money. If it works for you and for your benefit then use it because everybody has the right and the opportunity to use it. It is just a little strategy on your part.
Playing with your time is good, but im always pissed of when im playing headsups and they waiting untill clock is down, And i waiting 50seconds for decisions every hand
if using your time helps you past the bubble then you have made the right move....although if you want to stop cashing with the least ammount and want to take the thing down... you should shove if you have less than 10 big blinds with any two cards

that is pretty standard around the bubble.
I have mixed emotions about this. It can be annoying, but, that can be good. It can make you see less hands, that can be bad or good depending on the player and the way their luck is running. If I run the clock, I generally like to run it for the same amount of time before each decision, as not to give away my hand. (We all know most snap calls are a draw). In the end if I'm playing with players, I respect I try not to unless we are close to the bubble and I am very low on chips at a looser table. Then again, when in Rome.....

thats all part of the game if it helps you use it
its called USE,and its 100% fair to USE as everyone is allowed to do it! :)
You have to use the clock to help. That is what it is there for. I wish there was the extra clock in the PO tournies sometimes.
i use to ,,,im always in time ,,,,,,,,,
i use it sometimes, .org pussys wanta cry about using it, if there a short stack at table and i can stall to make the blinds put them all in hell ya i will, bubble time is a good way to use it, there are tells in timing too. youll have to pay to get that info
totally fair...if u dont help yourself, who will?...ppl dont give a damn for u, why wud u care if u make them wait a few seconds...........:)
Still to this day that is argued over! I think it really depends. Sure it looks like a jerk move but I have seen it make a difference between cashing and not cashing. I rarely use such tactic but I have used it before as an external tool!!!
yea people do this all the time! Especially if theres a descent amount to cash
It's made the difference for me a few times, so I'm all for it. I just hate when people aren't paying attention and keep running the clock after it goes hand to hand.
I use it against short stacks to up the blinds,,, if it is there, it's a tool
use the clock to your advantage you all have the same time so yuse at your own pleasure
Yeah ive had nasty stuff done to me... a go slowrolled me on line.. used his full 2min time bank deciding wether to call me or not... and he was chatting saying... i think u got me!!!!! he finally called with aces
i used it all the time.
I saw a dipshit do this and get his aces cracked. Was hilarious.Quote:

Guy tried this in a freeroll couple of days ago but we were down to playing hand to hand. Clueless.
