Yah but it doesn't count if it's not completely said. It was either this or a photoshop and nothing's been inspiring.
Sorry I guess I wasnt clear, nothing happened, it wasnt a take back or a change of order, it was the difference between saying I do this, or I dont do this, the game didnt progress, he didnt do or say anything. Its like "Do you want to do anything?....no........yes" that was all that happened
I'm a pretty nice guy - I'll let people take things back once or twice per game, but after that I kinda get a little more strict on that. I don't care about accidetnal draws or check revealing (just shuffle them back in or discard the extra check), either.
But I'm pretty hard on myself. Even if smoeone offers me the chance to take something back, I don't. One of my philosophies in life is "the burned hand learns quickest"; that is, if you make the mistake and catch it afterward or it ends up costing you the game, you're less likely to make that mistake again. I made a big error in every game I've played against Ivey, and I *guarantee* you they won't happen again. YOU HEAR THAT, IVEY?!
acidently reavealing your checks is the hardest thing to not do. there is this one guy in our tournement who goes nuts every time i reaveale a check acidently. i just had new sleaves that day and the cards were sticking together, and it only hapened 2 or 3 times but he would get realy angry every time. i had explained i had new sleaves, so he knew my cards were sticking together. i feel that this is an area were acidents do happen, and should be forgiven and alowed to be shufled back into the deck.

That reminds me of when BRT was still new and unobtainable. I wasn't used to frequently dealing with (before CC) check hacks, and I would get the same dialogue from every opponent whenever I screwed up: "No... You're supposed to wait... [long explanation about BRT]... blah blah blah..." I don't like being patronized when I'm supposed to utter obscure rulings.
Which brings up the question, how long are you supposed to wait? I sure as hell shouldn't have to remind you that you can BRT every time I play a card, but nor should I be able to avoid it by just playing cards in rapid succession.
In my mind about 3.6 seconds, starting after I finish declaring what I intend to play, is long enough. If they're thinking about BRTing (or whatever) they can say "Hold on a second..." or "Wait"...

How do you keep track of something as arbitrary as 3.6 seconds.....
Also did you know thats around the bare minimum allowed length of time for a yellow light in most states?
