You Can't Rush The Progress of a Tourney

[pokerpoem]

I get a little impatient, but usually it is like a 30-60 second clock, so nothing like a true tank at a casino where I guy gives you enough time to read War and Peace before he folds a pair of 4's on a board showing A-Q-J-9.

yea patience is def the key to a deep run in a mtt!

this post seems to be about something that we all see but don't ever talk about... except of course when the one dragging down the action starts getting cursed and smart talked... I like it when a player that runs down his clock every time gets a ugly remark or two at the table

So people actually think about what they are doing? I thouht AK,AQ, or bettter was an automatic shove?

[mb5717]

depends on the player. Q8o is an autmatice for some people...! Patience != abusing the clock. 30 second clock in a 12 minute level is like if someone constantly sat for 2.5 minutes in every hand on an hour level tourney. That's just rude.

[TomKat1958]

Yep, those rude time wasters should be disqualified and banned from future tourneys... just sayin'

[TomKat1958]

I know I get anxious when I am chip leader with 40 or so players left and 27 itm, I catch myself trying to win the tournament at that time, when I need to just lay back and wait it out.
