What is the approbate time to act at online play?, Charles, 25. Aug 2002 10:26
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
I keep my hand off my mouse while playing online ( to give myself time to think before I act). I have no problem with someone taking a few seconds to act, but these folks who take the maxium time to act on almost every hand ruin the game for me. I usually try to find another game, I relize there are tells in how fast or slow one acts, but I don't need 30 second to figure a hand isn't worth calling.
Is this a problem with anyone else?

I am as slow a poker player as I know...That said, I do try to make amends in other areas (such as helping take time...ect). I think if you really need to take your time to think, you have the right to do so. But, you should move the game allong if it is not for strategic reasons. Those who are just waiting as a means of attracting atttention to themselves before mucking are being disrespectful to the game and other players.

on PP if you turn over your cards first, and the other hand blinks 3 or more times you are almost always getting slow rolled
