Two Minutes Thinking

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

One player at a particular table is taking a long time to act every hand and it is beginning to annoy the other players, but he is insisting he is within his rights to do so. “I’ve got two minutes, I play within the rules. I put up ten thousand dollars of my own money, I’m the short stack and I’ve got two minutes.”

He wouldn’t be persuaded that seeing more hands was beneficial to him as he had only 40,000 chips left. He refused to look at his cards before action was on him in case they got a read on him. When it was suggested that if he looked at his cards and found, “Eight three off suit.” he might fold a bit quicker he replied in an outraged voice, “Now they’re telling me what cards to play.”

The floor confirmed to his unhappy tablemates that he did indeed have two minutes to make his decision but also told the stalling player to, “Play cards.”
