Default Re: Encouraging your table to stall in a tourney (long....as usual)

A significant difference between live tourneys and online is that live tourneys have directors to actively enforce the rules. Online, there is rarely any active tourney direction. Ideally, a software solution to the stalling problem will be found--something fair that gives players time to think when needed, but generally keeps play moving. Hand-for-hand works ok, but slows things down a lot itself. Most sites don't implement it soon enough anyway--waiting until 1 off the money is too late and still encourages stalling.
