Reduce time to show/muck cards

People using the whole time bar to decide whether to muck or show their cards - Please reduce the amount of time for people to decide whether to muck or show their hands, because it takes the p*** when it takes someone 15 seconds to decide whether to show their hand or not, tbh.

5 seconds would be more than enough.

    Agree absolutely with this, 15 seconds to decide to muck your cards is ridiculous! And extremely annoying.

    3 or 4 seconds is plenty of time to show, if you haven't decided in time then they should be mucked automatically.

     I agree with this but only in STTs and MTTs, where the slowness affects all players on the table.

     In cash in may annoy people but does not actually affect them so it is fine for it to stay as it is.

    If you were talking about sex, I'd agree, five seconds, plenty of time, but we are talking about a very serious and important thing here POKER, and fifteen seconds is not long enough.

    I personally don't mind this feature as in some specific DYM spots you can use it to make sure the larger big blind hits an opponant which late on can be quite significant.

    Of course in cash it has no purpose at all.

    Well yeah I was gonna comment on the fact that people use them to try to increase blinds if bigger blinds will give them an advantage over a short stack. It can also be used if a tournament is not in hand-for-hand play and it's bubble time to try to lengthen your time and hope someone else gets knocked out.
