Re: Time vs Rake
If they kill action, I agree, I don't like them. But at 40-80 and higher, this is rarely the case (I think below 40-80, time pots DO hurt the action to much). The 80-160 is one time pot, winner pays the $100 drop. The pot has to be $800 or more. That's typically the first hand. No worries in terms of action. If it affects the action, I start paying my own time and lots of people follow suit.
At the 75-150 stud, the $10 time charge is taken from the antes on hand one so the winner pays. This is my favorite bc it tightens the action for like one hand. And, oh yea, it doesn't even tighten it for that.
