Default Re: Horrible Time Pot Rule at Commerce

Do you think he's open-folding AA or KK here though?

Yes he may. first he may fold without even looking second. Plating AA or KK here has very little potential for him. Sure with AA he could win a huge pot, but in reality we know many players believe that with AA or KK you win a small pot or lose a big pot. Winning a small pot here is pointless because if its enough of a pot to pay the collection its going to be a smaller pot after paying. So in this instance where a player has decided to leave and only is playing the pot to get his $12 he very well may open fold AA or KK.

I agree any player who decides to not play until the time pot gets paid is theoretically getting a free 12 from the winner. However those players are giving up the opportunity to play a number of hands. The problem i have with this rule is that it actually encourages a player who was planning to leave to stay for another hand with no intention of playing simply to get the $12. If the house dropped the $12 it might be equally unfair to the winner of the pot, but at least the player who was leaving has no incentive to stay and make the collection higher.
