Break Time

[Vito_Nuccio]

Venting:

I hate it when in a tournament just after the break, there are multiple players late back to the table and the first hand can take a good chunk of time out of the current blind level. I have seen it happen on multiple sites and do not have a good answer short of the cardroom updating software.

The first hand after break should not allow any bonus or banked time, it should have a shorter then normal reaction time (like in a turbo). I understand multi-tabling and outside influences, but when 3-4 players are late after a break, each timer and bank (bonus, disconnect) time must count down as I watch the clock for the next blind level approaching and all I have done is fold a hand.

I have witnessed where It has taken up to 5 minutes to complete the hand after a break, well that is half a blind level and unacceptable to me.

I always find it a good time to try and steal because some players may be away from the table

On FTP, one time in the freerolls, I was multi freerolling, and I didn't even realize it was the first hand, and the blinds were already at the next level! Everyone was complaining, saying people were taking too long, that they kept disconneting, and all I did was play my other games. Lol. First time I have ever seen the first hand of a freeroll last that long.
