Calling 'clock'

<< < (2/9) > >>

cabbie007:
Thanks.........I no the rule, I then say excuse me you can"t discuss the hand your not in it. Some people get the hint others you have to be MORE direct  8)

duke3016:
If you are not in the hand shut the F up.

Personnaly I would be quite happy to sit back and courteously wait.

In your case Dan, I would however have to make an exception and clock you after 5 seconds  ;D ;D ;D

Swinebag:
I was playing at your table In luton when this happened Daniel. At the time I questioned the guy calling the clock (also called Dan) admittedly after the hand had been played and you folded. He said that anyone can call the clock and as he had a FT hockey top on didn"t question his knowledge.

I also remembering him apologising to you and saying that the reason he called the clock on you was because you had a "simple decision" and the blinds were about to go up.

I thought at the time this was unfair, but being inexperienced was not going to pipe up. You told me what you had (i"ll assume you weren"t lying) and given the state of your stack and the blinds etc you had possible reason to call and were going to make a mathematical decision.

Hope this is cleared up for the future

Yes, it was Dan who made the final table in Walsall.  I hadn"t sat there thinking for hours, maybe a minute at the most.  I"d actually come to a decision and was about to fold when he called the clock.  I decided that as I had at least another minute left to decide, I might as well use it all up - I mean, what"s the rush?

Yes, same as when people apologise when they outdraw you.

I can"t remember what I had now, but I remember at the time that it was a very close decision to call or not based on his possible range (which was huge).  It certainly wasn"t a trivial decision.

I"m sure the rule elsewhere is that any player can call the clock (as technically everyone in a tournament is affected by any actions in the tournament) - but now I know the APAT rules, I will be making sure they are followed - especially when I"m involved in a hand.

StuartHopkin:
Think I was actually dealing on your table last saturday when the clock was called? We discussed the fact that the bloke was a complete arse after he was knocked out?

When he called the clock the thought crossed my mind that he had no right to! I deal a lot at casino"s etc but when your somewhere new your never quite sure of the house rules etc

Its a shame we couldnt have house dealers who were more up on these rules.

Did you manage to get a seat for Manchester??
