El debate está abierto hace rato: ¿qué hacemos para acelerar el poker? Ayer durante el Evento Principal de la World Series of Poker 2015 se jugaron 72 manos en algo menos de seis horas, un promedio de 12 manos la hora. ¡12! Si el propósito de los November 9 es crear expectativa, bullicio y captar la atención de nuevos jugadores, todo se arruina en este momento. Los máximos referentes del poker mundial se expresaron al respecto en Twitter:
We need to change rules of poker, slow play should be warned, then penalized. One of players at @WSOP table on @ESPN was issued warning

Wow. I hope we can make some adjustments in the future to speed up play. That is bad for everyone. https://t.co/s0DYxG0DFt

Haven’t seen the WSOPME yet, but my twitter feed is full of complain about pace of the game. @GPL has a chess clock (timebank/game)

‘I can’t wait to try this game myself after watching this», – Shit nobody ever said.
