Hiya Mr. K! States was great obv. San Francisco still my favourite place in the world (Skeggy a close second) Was on a beach in St Kitts 2 days ago, now in Barrow and it's pisting it down. Move is the 22nd. Gonna try and sneak some games in soon. Need to kick son from here to Lancaster and back again first though. He's let an aquarium go to ruin. Need to find a sensible rehoming for the Panda Corys, 18 of 'em! Once that's done I'll have a think about the poker. Hope you and all the gang are Ok.
In Response to Re: Does anyone think the 8 seconds to act is to short? : Don't mean to be pedantic, but I have just timed the bar in a regular bh and it's 15 seconds (give or take) Obv you get more time the further you are from utg so if you are in the BB, you get at least 20 seconds while waiting for the other players. Still plenty of time though, even if 6 tabling. Only issue is the occasional lag/disconnection. Posted by GREGHOGG
Stop being pedantic
I counted about 18 seconds at a cash table last night. This was after a few beers mind.
It's 12 seconds in a Turbo DYM, with the reminder beep on 9 seconds. Checked it many times just now. So it's never 8 seconds anyway.. Posted by thefa1lacy
In Response to Re: Does anyone think the 8 seconds to act is to short? : are you starting your count not at 1 but at zero? counting 1 to 9 is 8 seconds. Posted by aussie09
Haha.
We really shouldn't be telling adults how to count, should we?
Let's put it another way. Use a timer in a turbo DYM, from when it's your turn to act to when you time out to 'away' and it's 12.5 secs every single time. So bearing in mind not timing out and acting before that you have 12 seconds in a turbo.

I think that is correct, 12 seconds in a Turbo, and I'm pretty sure 15 seconds in everything else.
It has never been 8 seconds, as per the thread title.

it's not your intelligence, more your maturity. ;=)

Eight seconds? It must be longer than that. I can eat a cadburys flake from start to end before my timer runs down.
PS - Welcome back Karen, great to see you here. How long before the final farewell, & how was the USA trip? xx

I think we both agree its nowhere near 8 seconds.
Now cease being pedantic Hoggers!

That is always in question.
