I read that as ' a td can put a clock on a consistently slow player such that they must act within a minute for all actions in all hands, or in normal situations, playerd may call time on a player who has taken an unreasonably long time to act, and they have 30 seconds from that moment to act'

something like that anyway. was too lazy to re-read it again so im probably wrong

The TD would be the one doing any actual timing, if it was left up to the players to call time and enforce it we'd have some extra variance :)


Need some random aussie rules ump in the background to run up and yell 'not 15!'
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

Speaking of this topic.

Final table tonight... im all-in UTG with AJ :) lol too funny

Anyway... folds around to the small blind... and a so-called decent player who had already folded says "god, someone call him please!".

The SB would have called regardless (he had AK)... but some TD's need to stamp out table talk, otherwise come state finals time, people are going to start getting penalties.

yeah table talk like that is the WORST type of bad etiquette

you are right des, i reckon everyone should get the TD to warn them if they are doing it

in a turbo tournament such as NPL imo more emphasis should be placed on how long u have to make a decision, most of u on here have experienced online turbo poker sit n go's etc where u only have 30 secs or similar to make a decision, why shouldnt it be the same in a turbo live game

i know there is no way to time every player but maybe people should raise this point to players who regularly take a loong time to make a decision, no one likes it when they start on the button and pay there first blinds at 100/50

I have no idea what you just said.

Anyone dealt can call for time, doesn't mean it's automatically enforced.

I have no idea what you just said. re mucked cards being replayed in a game pm if you wish to discuss... [/quote]

That is pretty much the norm.[/quote]

thanks AK this was posted with the intention of obtaining an official answer to the question of the calling and enforcing time on a player .

thank you Ash and Garth for the quick response and quoting the Rule Book...........

from me , my reading of the replies .. I have a minute ( with a 10 sec warning ). from the offical call of the TD to enforce a requested time call from a player in the hand on the Table ... note this seems the norm... for a NPL turbo event....sure player etiquette is expected and 30 sec is fair and reasonable..time to make a play..

I note with interest comments of going into the Tank for up to five minutes in major Events...

NPL Games/ Events can be and are used by some players to practise and develop their skill in this fine game of Poker.

I for one will play to the rules and their enforcment to the Limit in this NO Limit game...

roll on debate/discussion and presentation of issues over and above the ' norm.'..

It can also be added that in the majority of deepstack events vs NPL events the following two points apply.

1.) Blind levels are often 45 to 60 minutes in length with a slowly advancing blind structure.

2.) Being forced to make a decision for your tournament life in an NPL regular event compared to that of a $500 - $10,000 tournament buy in is substantially different. Trying to finish in the points is a completely different mindset to that of trying to win $200,000.
