    Stalling

    Can we do somehthing about blatant stalling that happens when it gets to bubble until final table? Suddenly they can fold immediately when final table starts because it doesnt matter anymore. One game had 3 stallers today.

    SBR? Sam?

    It sucks, but every player can take the full allotted time bank to make there decision.

    Name the 3 stallers, or it didn't happen.

    Your blame is tragically misplaced. Why blame the stallers, when they are simply using their allotted time? Exactly what rule are they breaking? Stallers are just tying to be rewarded for their 1 hour time investment.

    Blame the software for not implementing hand to hand with 13 players left. Apparently, all the stalling helped you obtain an 11th place cash.

    Maybe the time allowed should be lowered for all players?

    I say increase the time allotment ! There are instances that I could use a full minute or 2 to make a decision against so many great players here at SBR

    Since we have become a PC sensitive world. I think participation accolades is whats needed also. 40th place should be just as recognized as the top 12. Instead of endless bad beat threads, This will help with all kinds positive reinforcement and be like the cure for Butthurt. Lets all fight towards a cure for butthurt.
    Goooooooo team!

    Agreed. Time banks are helpful making decisions. Itt's being abused by certain players hoping to avoid a bubble place is the problem. Maybe SBR can let each person have so many full time banks per tournament. Not every single hand.

    Haha. Looks like two of us were too lazy to download our own avatar and went the generic route.

    Be careful what you wish for. You get hand for hand programmed again and it may never go away
