Message: [QUOTE="IntenseHeat, post: 2337314, member: 92488"] I think it would suck to have to have a shot clock in poker. But between players Hollywooding for the cameras, those who have a hard time making decisions under pressure and players like Yevgeniy Timoshenko, who always takes, as Annette Obrestad put it, "an absurd amount of time", it may be necessary. I'm from the school of thought that says study long, study wrong, which to me is like saying your first instinct is probably the correct one. I frequently do follow my first instinct, especially if my first instinct is to fold. If my first instinct is to call, then I may allow for a thirty second safety overrule, that says to ignore my instinct in favor of waiting for a less dangerous spot. Either way, I'm not going to agonize too much over any single decision. But then again, I'm not playing big buy-in tournaments with hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions at stake.
