    Does anyone else think Hand-for-Hand in Micro tourneys is completely retarded and unnecessary? Seriously who is going to delay to make less than 5 bucks and even if someone does if they really want their money back plus a small profit I know I don't really give a shit. Then after you make the money the god damn H4H comes back when you move up a notch in money. It just really bugs the hell out of me waiting like 5-10 minutes for 25+ tables of a micro tournament to finish their hands or sometimes even longer if it happens to go more than one hand. I think stars should just remove it for any tourney under a certain amount of money or hell even remove it for every tourney (but i can at least see people not liking people delaying to make money when its actually a decent amount).

    if you dont think people will stall, you havent played enough of these...i used to feel like you, but after watching more and more i think people would fold atc for 10 orbits to make .20 cents extra......u actually would waste more time with no hfh because then you would have every noob in the universe timebanking every turn for the same reason

    Most people would be happy to make the money....

    I dont see why such a small part of the tourney is causing you anguish.

    Well then you'd have people delaying their table on purpose....would just cause too much headache. I'm a micro player and it's not about cashing or not...people WILL stall to make $0.20 at this level...sucks but at least H4H keeps the tables moving to some degree. Without it, people would stall ALL F'n DAY if they wanted to.

    Now that's not a bad idea. That and the damn disconnect time bank that gets used from time to time. 240 sec. 1st time, 120 sec. 2nd time...etc. You disconnect, your hand is dead...simple as that.

    Gotta have hand for hand.

    Bodog does NOT have H4H and it gets retardedly weird at the bubbles. Some tabels everyone goes slow, some tables they don't. Creates a real inequity. And I've seen it in $1 tournies and $100's....

    People will stall at whatever stakes...

    So do you like bubbleing tournies OP? Obviously you don't understand the concept that cashing in tournies is huge no matter the stakes because the person playing probably plays more than 1 of these and cashing pays for future events instead of having to dig deeper into your BR to play.

    Don't even bother playing if you're not trying to cash. I don't care what it takes.
