If you guys have played live before you should know the floor gives time for lesser things.

I play live in a time-charged game, though admittedly I haven't been playing it that long (a year, maybe one day a month or so). I've never seen the floor allow anything to get in the way of the time collection.

I agree that they should make some concession to recognize that they wasted people's time, but I can't imagine it would ever interfere with the collection.

The other day at FW I had a really bad dealer who in addition to dealing slowly, would stop the game every time a certain couple of players started jawing at each other. She also happened to have a fill in one of her downs, so there may have been four hands that got out that half-hour. I can't in my wildest dreams imagine any sort of break on the time collection. Maybe some comp points or something, but not the time collection.

Again, I'm not as experienced in time-charged games as some, so maybe this happens and I've never seen it. No doubt playing time-charged games in competitive poker markets would be different, too.

Fortunately when I do the accounting at the end of the day, $5/hh to sit in the $1-2 game is a drop in the bucket....
