I once sat near a couple of young people new to the game that smashed a monitor in frustration after getting shut out and quickly exited to the slots before commenting on how stupid people are to be subjected to this unnecessary delay.....

Ok...Why do you insist that there is some kind of "advantage"..Why is it so impossible to simply adjust your "brain clock" 3-4 seconds ahead and act accordingly?
