Default Re: Stars response on a chronic staller, with no reason to stall.

The amount of time they give to you assumes that everyone needs to run away from the table every now and then. No one really needs that much time all of the time IMO. If you're in a 1K and you're "thinking" about what to do with T3o UTG, then you're out of line and ruining the gaming experience for others. The real key here is how to word the rule so it's fair for people who think and are methodical in a legitimate fashion while also punishing those who are waiting just to slow the game down and annoy others. I don't have a problem with people using up their entire time to act after the flop. Thinking about how much to bet, how the hand will play out, etc, etc is very important. But preflop? C'mon, it just isn't that hard most of the time and consistent slow action is a bad thing for the game. That's just my opinion though...
