I had two cases come up in a 2 hour session at the Casino AZ 5/150 game, that I had to think about over a minute.

The first was when I tried to steal with J8s, button and blinds called, and the flop came KT9, it was checked around, turn a Q, I bet 3/4 pot, and get raised by button 100 more. I can't put him on anything but AJ, but I still had to think it out, and about 2 minutes, I finally folded and showed the J, and he showed AJ.

About 20 minutes earlier, I raised UTG with AK, and the button called, as did the blinds. Flop comes A83, I bet 3/4 pot, button again raises 100, and I am not ready to go broke on TPTK, and think and think, and finally conclude he has 88 or 33, and I fold and show, and he shows AA.

In either of these cases, if I only had 40 secs, I woulda ended up calling more than likely, and lost my stack in each case.

For limit, yes it is crazy to ever spend more than 40 secs, but NL, a few times a session it is necessary.

I agree, but how often do you need more than 2? So if someone calls time after 60-90 secs, I don't think its as outrageous as everyone is saying.
