How to stop slow in sattelites
Mainly for sattelite tournies this one really. And it's not just the short stacks.
When it's nearing the cut off for qualifying through a sattelite nearly all the players on the table run the clock down, which is really annoying but I do it myself if you can't beat them join them. But it really makes the game drag on pointlessly as all tables are doing it thinking that they are gaining an advantage.
When it gets to this stage all the tables should be played hand by hand. So until each hand has finshed on every table the next hand will not start. Which would make time wasting pointless.
