Calling Clock
At any given point of action in a hand of poker, unless it has been prespecified by special sanction otherwise, there is no set amount of time determined for how long it should take a player to make an action on his hand at the casino online. In deciding what to do (whether it be raise, fold, or call) at each point in the action for a player, it is considered open reign for the player to take as much time as he needs, within reason, to make a decision.
If a poker online player is taking an unreasonable amount of time, however, as judged by one of his fellow players at the table or the dealer, a clock may be called on the player, at which point he has one minute to act or his hand is declared dead. Again, there is no set standard of how long is too long, and when a clock should be calledit is up to the whim of the players and the dealer. Often, though, it is considered bad etiquette to call a clock on a player, especially when he has good reason to be taking so much time deciding (i.e.: it is a large pot).
Usually the most time a clock might get called is in a tournament situation, where the blinds are increasing and other players are therein suffering by one player taking too long with one given decision.
