Does anyone get angry at slow players in every hand?

Well, there's not so many people who play really slow. But you have to think between hands, you cannot just snap-move everything. Who played with me can be easily see that most of the times I use the same time-bank because it made me space to act and they just don't tell by the time I use what I have.
So a little time to think is good for your brain and your tactic as well.

Taking your time to make decision is fine, even if you are slower than me. I can play pretty fast in a lot of spots but I don't expect everyone to do the same.

But what does grind my gears is in live poker (and I guess online too) when people bolster and puff their chest up to save face before making an obvious laydown. Just fold your garbage bro. You're going to anyway, we don't need the donkey show.

Someone is deliberately delaying time to get out of the psychological balance. But it doesn't affect me

hahaha why be angry with me? I myself spend time on the bubble and at the ITM stage and it always brings results. Especially in satellites

Maybe some days I can find it more annoying than other days, but that my own problem, when I’m feeling impatient. We are each given the same amount of time to do what we please with, so theres really no reason to be annoyed. It’s just part of the game for strategy or just taking time to think.

Hello. It does not bother me unless the person is always doing that. I find, to be fair, that the situation that a player is slow playing is understandable.

Connection issues or slow

It can be hard to tell if it’s a connection issue or they’re just slow. If they’re slow I don’t like it but I have some sympathy for Internet problems

Yes it's pretty annoying. I don't mind if you want to take your time on a river bet decision. But using your timer on every check and every call is just a waste of all the players at the table time.

I can see both sides. I get it when players are close to the bubble and trying to make the money.

The times it bothers me is when a player is doing that on every hand, every street, from the beginning of the tournament. That kind of player is costing the entire table a lot of time and taking a lot of possible hands away.

I will say something when I see a player doing that but basically there is nothing you can do about it. No point in getting yourself upset as it will just adversely affect your game as well.

Sometimes I play 6-7 tables at a time, and to be honest, I do not care what my opponents think of me. I use my time as I see fit.
Exactly. He can play more tables or do it on purpose. I do it sometimes when it's appropriate

Its a part of online poker. There's a certain advantage to this play if you think about it. I usually dont, especially in CC tourneys. But when Im short stacked, and not getting cards.. I want to get paid!

Hi good day!
Anger is a flaw, regardless of the reason.

Cheers :qc4::kc4:

use the time to take a deep breath. Listen to music and relax. You can't change it anyway. No reason to be upset.

I hate slowness at the table. But I respect the time the villain has to play. I don't complain! :cool::cool::cool:



It is a useful Tactic to let the timer, time out in an MTT especially close to the Bubble!
As there could be a lot of players short stacked that could bust out at any given moment, I once registered for a free-roll and had to leave as I received a phone call from my daughter and she needed transport with my Grandson to the hospital.
Of course I stayed with her until he was cleared and sent home and when I returned to the computer I saw I had finished in the money without playing a single hand.
Only 8 cents but hey who cares? It's all free money.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Oh yeah. It really pisses me off. There are people who are about to fly out of the tournament, but since they need to reach more prizes, they deliberately take time. It bothers me a lot.

Rarely make me angry. Usually, when only 1 table left, end of the session. By the way, I play slow sometimes, too. ITM bubble, satellites example. No problem, until it is not the only table i play.

Its very easy to deal with this situation in live games because you call the floor supervisor and he takes care of the gulity party.
Unfortunately ,online there is nothing we can do,especially during tournaments

I'm certainly not angry with these players. But sometimes it's unnerving. And the desire to continue playing disappears. I noticed in night sessions, I don't know why, if their Internet is bad, or they fall asleep during sessions. Lol.




Life is a game , play beautiful
