Calling Clock: Part Deux
1/2 NL, my first time at the table with about half the players. Other player in hand has roughly $450, I have $500. He seems decent compared to others at the table, but vastly overvalues hands.
After never getting a break against the guy, I see a free flop from BB with J9o. He is button. Flop is QT3, 2 spades. Checked to him, he bets $15, SB calls, I call. (I love having the straight draw on a flush draw board. In my simple little mind, I think this helps disguise my draw.) Turn is a blank, check to button, who bets $30. We both call. Turn is perfect, offsuit 8. Against my nature, I decide to try the river checkraise. Sure enough, he fires $50. I decide on a slight overbet, and push. As he is struggling with his decision, he thinks for MAYBE 15 seconds, and it looks like he's going to fold. So, I called "clock" on him. He takes another 10 seconds and calls, then walks slowly out the door. So, calling clock in this situation: rotten move or fair? |

Short term, it worked. Long term, it will damage your future winnings as they will view you in a negative manner. You played the hand well and called with the correct odds. He was likely to make the call. There was no need to call the clock.

Re: Calling Clock: Part Deux
Saying callin with a straight draw on a flush draw board is bad is retarded. He's trying to rep both of those if he its. So he's floating in a sense.

Definately KITN for you for the clock call
Unless you're joking around AND know them very well, bad for the game. Go forth, doubled over, and sin no more! |

Dirty play. Calling the clock in general is dirty.

Re: Calling Clock: Part Deux
Wait, WTF... clock after fifteen seconds to someone pondering an all-in? At a home game no less? Horrible.

Re: Calling Clock: Part Deux
Smooth move. Poor etiquette for a home game.
ps. nice flop call getting a little better than 2:1 to chase a draw that can easily get counterfitted. And then again on the turn with only 6 clean outs getting about 3.5:1....well done |

By the way, this is clearly abusing the clock privledge. If this was my game I'd make a ruling against you, giving him enough time to make a decision.
