Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 2337654, member: 23910"] In the instances I've seen the dealers seem to take it in stride pretty easily. The cash games where I've seen it implemented have a 30-second shot clock, but I don't think it's a [i]precise[/i] 30 seconds. The dealer gives players about 20 seconds to act, and then get the timer out to count down the final 10 seconds if required. So they're not having to set/reset a timer every time someone takes a few seconds then folds. You can also buy an extra 30 seconds for a dollar in those games, with that money going direct into the pot. When I've seen it implemented in tournaments each player generally gets a couple of free "extra time" buttons that they can use when they've got a difficult decision. While I know what you're getting at, a system like that would be open to rampant abuse and angle shooting. [/QUOTE]
