The Annoying "It;s your turn to play" Warning





I can be annoying with the best of them, without posting a lame Rebecca Black style video whereby someone with no talent gets attention. Neighbors slam their doors and run up the stairs - got that. I'll do the same when you try to sleep. Ninjas climb down on ropes from my ceiling - got that. I'll wait three months when you don't expect it and I'll tip over a mop bucket in your Octagon training facility. I am a vindictive and bitter SOB.

It's bad enough to be cheated by PokerStars, but to put up with every single 18 player 2k buy in game constantly being populated by "people" that can't click the check box to fold when they are on the action is as irritating as Willow Smith's I whip My Hair Back and Forth getting any attention.

The assumption can be made that poker is a competitive game and when you log in to a tourney there is some interest in the outcome. You turned the Playstation off, serviced the girlfriend (which Jarah, Lucy Lee and Devon Aoki tell me you were really bad at), let the dog out, serviced the girlfriend a second time which was even worse than the first, nuked a burrito and ate it, drank a beer, farted and settled down to ACTUALLY be interested in your non-Playstation game.

But no.

You still can't swing a dead cat in this town without hitting a 2k buy in table on PokerFrauds without multiple players getting hit with the warning that it's their turn. Let's put some emphasis on the multiple players comment. Maybe one jackwipe is watching TV and the poker game is background noise. Maybe a second was loading up hot Asian pics on their pc for their blog. I can fold a crap hand, which by far outnumber the callable much less raisable hands in 2 seconds.

Yet here we are watching for weeks how these "experts" are taking way too much time.

If PokerFrauds wants to get any credibility and begin to make me believe that these are real people they need to change the time rules. These "people" could sit out. So anytime a psoition doesn't sit out for two consecutive times their eliminated. Eliminate the Time Bank.

Your the only site that has this "benefit" and experience has shown it appears to give an admin a little extra time to rig a hand.

Or at least kust like the message about sitting out completely post a message about your apparent concern about players taking too much time.

Since this isn't going to happen expect to see a million screenshots of multiple players not reacting until the 14 second warning.
