The primary function of the clock is to stop stalling and develop a quick playing rhythm. 10 seconds may not appear much however there is a sound reasoning to it, at this moment in the video game the majority of people understand their preflop opening and flatting/3-betting varieties immediately. As Patrik recommends it is the post flop and 3-bet choices that take the most time, which is why the extra timebanks remain in usage.
The early reaction appears to be rather favorable and if you wish to see the shot clock in action, the PAPC is being live streamed this weekend.
Is this the correct amount of time for live poker? Let us understand in the remarks:
