Re: time-pot hand
[ QUOTE ]
$20-40 blinds NLHE at Lucky Chances. The collection is $7 per player per half-hour. We almost always do time pots. If the pot has $200 (or more) of called money in it, then the winner of the pot pays the time for all players who do not have a missed blind button. (Players with a missed blind button pay their own $7.)
On this hand, it was a time pot, and the collection was $63.

hi tommy,
that seems like a horrible time-pot structure. at the borgata 10-25 when we do time-pots, the first TWO qualifying pots go towards paying the time, and the threshold for qualifying is also higher than yours. they usually set the threshold at about 5x the total time to be paid, or 10x the time to be taken out of each pot. if there were $63 of time to be paid, for instance, the time-pots would be $32 and $31 at $300. if there's $81 total time (the borg charges $9 per half-hour) then it's $41 and $40 at $400.
so the burden of paying time comes out of two pots, not just one. and the percentage taken from each time-pot is only about 10%. in your game you'd have to pay $63 out of a $200 pot? i'd fold AKo too.
