Default Quick question about HU sng\'s

I just played one of these for something to do. My opponent basically always took 12 seconds to make a decision and usually went down on his time bank a few seconds until late in the match when he decided to wake up.

This was a turbo on stars, my question is doesn't this just make the result more luck since him being so slow means the match will last longer, where the blinds will just make it a lottery?

It really annoyed me that he took forever on every decision.

oh and the guy has a 15% ROI with 2645 games played... what a joke, his opponents probably just forfeit because they are so bored.

He could be multi-tabling, but yeah it's annoying when you run into someone like that. Not much you can do but either wait it out or just put in big raises to make every pot bigger.

Ive had that, I pulled up YouTube on a second monitor and did the same.

Suprisingly it didnt take long for him to "wake up" then.

Yeah, when people do that to me, I just stall even longer too, checking email or chatting. Pretty much they always move faster after you start to slow down even more than them.

There is a retard named CNPRODIGY or CMPRODIGY on stars that always takes ages when I meet and what is even more retarded is that he says that he is 4tabling. I mean, if you cannot play HU in a normal tempo multitabling then DONT PLAY.

I think they should have a cap on 2 HU tables.

I pretty much only play HU PLO8 sngs.....
It's very annoying when that happens but very very easy to fix.

All you do is play another sit n go of the same structure.
Spend all your time playing the "new" one and take as long as you damn well please on the first crappy one.

Wait until you are done with the 2nd game before going back to the first one. If he makes you wait a minute for every move, make him wait 3 hours for the game to play. That'll teach these jerks.
