The stacks are shallow and they have all played 100k hands. 15 seconds is plenty of time.

Maybe some kind of electric device could zap those who stall for more than 30 seconds. First friendly warning zap, then 5 seconds and turn up the amps. Then it would be more like playing online, only missing the multitabling. Who's first to implement this in tv show?

All FTs are shown well after the event is played. Edit out the tanks.

Exactly.

I'm no fan of social engineering/big brother/censorship/etc..., but if the public doesn't see it, they won't immitate it.

It'll take a while, but once people start picking up on the fact that stalling tactics won't get them anywhere, they won't abuse it.

Jamie Gold and the WSOP's willingness to let him discuss hands set back poker one year as I have had to penalize players 100 times for verbally disclosing their hands and showing cards.

Well lose the rule then. It is retarded that you can tell lies about your hand but not the truth. (Except for situations where more than one player is in a hand)

I'm against any automatic clock restrictions. If needed, players can call the clock. The rest of this stuff is bad for poker.

The directors should be the police. Players shouldn't be forced to be the bad guy.
On the final table the director's got nothing else to do.

During the bubble there could be cooperative game theory.
Last table to finish gets penalized one BB per player.
