shevek Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Haven't played for a while, using the windows client.Had a toughish defensive problem. Up popped a message telling me to play.I didn't, found myself back in the lobby. How long has this been going on?How can the table server stop it?

billw55 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 There are a few players who are very impatient. Usually I find that, if I have maintained a reasonable tempo generally, they will tolerate a little thinking here and there. Even so, once in a while a host is just in such a mad rush that they can't stand even that. Nothing really can be done about it, mark them as enemy and go on. Or I suppose you could only host tables yourself. It may help to respond to their first prompt though - just to let them know you haven't abandoned. edit: I didn't realize this booting was automated!

paulg Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 The table host can put +slow+ in the table description which triples your thinking time. You can also chat to the table or, I believe, even just move your mouse when focused on the BBO window to reset the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 What Paul says, or have the host lock seats at the table.There's no auto-removal at tables that require permission to sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 We tested this feature for a few weeks in the fall, made some changes based on user feedback, and re-enabled it about 4 weeks ago. The announcement is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
