Default Re: Daniel Negreanu is WRONG!


I think you are living in a dreamworld. Do you think if you expose your cards your opponent is going to tell you what he has? Lets be realistic.

The impact will be minimal. At first it will be wasting time 95% of the time. Then players when start becoming immune and develop counter-measures (e.g. simply not look at exposed cards, etc.), and it will delay the game 99% of the time.

I agree. The game has becomeinterminably slow as it is, with all the posturing and staredowns. Allowing card showing would make in unbearable. Maybe allowing it at the final table is reasonable, but not as a rule.

I played a bunch of tournament online this week to try to get in stroke for the WSOP. I love the time clock online--it makes the game so much faster and better. I wish it could be implemented in live tournaments.
