Default Time charge question

If you sit down at a time charge game and wait for the blind to come around, and a new dealer comes in before you've played your first hand and it will still be one or two hands before you're dealt in, are you expected to pay?

In most places, you will be expected to pay. Different places have different customs regarding time collection, but in this case you are occupying a seat when the new dealer arrives so time will typically be collected. Lots of players try to angle shoot out of this sort of thing though.

Foxwoods answer: not if the light doesn't come on. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Speaking of the Wonder of the Connecticut Woods, I'm occasionally absent from my seat for a good while coloring out their silly yellow chips at the cage so I can play $1-2 NL. So far no one's attempted to charge me time if the light went out during that time. I'd be pretty upset (and probably just go back to play $4/8) if they tried to.

In AC, the answer is yes if there is a list for the game. Even people who sit down shortly after the dealer have to pay. If there is no list, sometimes you can tell the floor that you won't start to play until after the time is dropped, and they'll drop the time.

In the Borgata, a new player came to the table and asked if he had to pay time. The dealer said yes. Then he asked, don't new players don't pay time the first time they are at the table? We told him of course not. He was offended at the notion he had to pay time. He said he has played around the country and some places you don't initially have to pay time. Is this true anywhere?

Default You are paying for the seat...not playing

by the notion that you could wait and not pay you could just say "I'm tight...don't charge unless I play a hand"
If the 5/half is going to kill you then drop down to a rake game and don't worry about time

Especially at the Borgata there is generally a long list with people that are more than willing to pay the time.
