this is a good starting point!

few things come in handy while playing or with live examples of card.
reading always can not get you there

how much time a player has to fold/bet/raise/all in?

what do u mean how much time?
as in minutes to make a decision or how many times he has to do it?
confusing

how much time means 15min, 30min

well he usually has minutes to decide what he wants to do.
there is an option with the other players to call the clock if they feel that the player is taking too much time to make a definition and then a set amount of time is allocated to the player within which he has to make his decision.
poker is a fast paced game and decisions need to be made in seconds and minutes.

no i dont think so, at river card - first of all you need to calculate all the possibilities, then recall all the bets since preflop, then instincts, staring other player, calculating chips on the table and finally you can decide. It can take 5-10min

you can take 1 hour if you want. but poker etiquette calls for you to make your decision fast. of course it its a million dollar decision no one will really say anything. but if it comes down to calling Rs. 20 in a pot of Rs. 500, then obviously u better do it fast!

oh yes

if my one card gets open on table by me, then am i still eligible to play that hand?

Yes you are, however, you are now at a disadvantage. Also, if only one player saw your card then all live players for that hand will need to be shown that card.
If you want more details i think it is covered in the poker rules at www.iprt.in

yeah but u can play some amazing mind games by revealing that one card..
if there is a flush on the table.. and u expose the A of the flush.. and i have a flush as well.. i dont know what ur other card is but now that i know u have the A, I will think 10 times before calling!

got ur point

Interesting.. Actually I dont think you can take an hour.. spcially in a tournament. As blinds are rising every level - your taking time affects everyone at the table. Usually everyone is/should be more considerate on calling a clock specially when you are pondering over making a big decision, but a person is within his rights to call a clock on you. Once clock is called, you get some fixed time to make a decision - usually one minute.

Calling a clock is more relaxed in cash games.. Some casinos dont allow it in cash games... In our non-tournie games, we have been following the rule that only a person in the hand can call the clock.. In tournie anyone on the table (whether in hand or not) can call the clock..

For an interesting related tidbit on this.. Check out this video from 08 WSOP ME, where Tiffany was too edgy and jumped on calling a clock while she wasnt in the hand..

Yea I saw that..
it all comes down to etiquette at the end of the day.
tournaments it depends on what the tournament rules are i guess

Mostly every tournament has a concept of calling a clock.. Some casinos allow players to call a clock in ring games as well, but not all..
