Default Re: Why all the whining about the clock being called?

Was the clock used before the boom of televised poker?

Solution: There should always be a clock on everybody for every hand.

Almost perfect. I'd say that and maybe one extension per day.?.

Live tournaments should figure out a way to place a time limit on actions without players having to call the clock on each other. Some version of the time clock used for chess adapted to a full table. Until that happens, I would call the clock as soon as possible on every single hand in any big live tournament I played.

This also happened in the PPT event on the Travel Channel last night when Chris Bigler was taking forever to decide what to do against John Arieh's pre-flop all-in. (Bigler had JJ.) After a while, Arieh looked at Bigler and said in exasperation, "C,mon man. Its a freeroll!" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
