Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6217277, member: 430261"] On-line we are lucky to have a time bank which tick's down at the same rate for everyone, so we are all able to take advantage of it. Sometimes it is difficult to make a right call if we do not follow the action as it play's out, especially for someone who is multi-tabling. If you think that it is bad on-line, try playing in a live event, I don't like calling the clock on any player, and I have only ever done it once, but I had to consider the other player's at the table, even though I could have made more chips, had I kept my mouth shut, I was on the BB and was raised from the Button, holding A/8 suited I didn't want to fold pre-flop as I thought I could hit top pair or a possible flush so I called. The flop gave me 2 pair with a A, 8, 7, flop, so I checked, and my opponent bet out same size bet, 2X the Blinds, I immediately called, and a second eight gave me a Boat, I checked again and he bet out the same amount again. Now I had an important decision to make because he could have been holding Pocket Aces all along as he had raised Pre-flop, bet the flop, and now he was betting again on the turn, I decided if he was holding Aces, I had to raise to find out, so I doubled the bet, which he called, now I was positive he didn't have the Aces and was probably playing A/K or A/Q, because if I had been in his position an all-in bet would be my move, when the river card came King, I thought he may have made his 2 pair so this time I led out betting about half pot which was 8X the BB. He immediately went into Tank Mode and just sat there, we waited a good 5 minutes,and there was grumblings coming from others at the table, so I said "Work it out? You raise, I call, You bet, I call, You bet again, I raise, Now I bet the River, so who has the best hand?" I waited another minute before I called the clock on him, and he folded after being counted down. He asked me if I would show, and I said only if you had called, but I did have you beat. It is a difficult to make decision's under pressure, especially when it come's to your tournament life being on the line, Some use the Time bank to try and make the money when close to the bubble, other's do it to annoy other players and put them on tilt, but it is there for you to use, so why not? When the fun Stops, STOP! [/QUOTE]
