Default the guy won\'t decide.

This is an important question concerning poker rules. At my home game, we haven't outlined a 'time' call or a limit on time one has to decide. It just had never came up, so the understanding was basically just dont hold up the game too much... this brings us to last night, where I was in a hand heads up with a player (not a close budddy but he's been here a few times) he just wouldn't make a decision. His only choices were: call, or fold (I had bet enough to put him all in.). Minutes went by, and the table got kinda restless. They wanted to get on with the game, you know? I felt the same way, and eventually we agreed between 3 of us that we would act for him in 2 minutes, folding his hand if he failed to act. We made it clear that we were seroius and he had to decide NOW. Times up. "ok man 5 seconds, call or fold, or its over.." ........... no response, and we wiped it, taking his hand. I scooped the pot.

Yeah i understand that in casinos they are strict about this and it's posted, but did we do the right thing? The guy was furious and wanted his money back, which is why i am here asking... thanks for your imput.
