Does anyone get angry at slow players in every hand?

Probably what the player is thinking about, I'm not angry. But it all depends on the specific situation, for example, during the first deal you see two cards and in fact you don't have to think a lot here. It's simple, but there are players who from here manage to play for time!

sometimes when I see players playing for a long time in the game, I don't understand if he is stupid or is wasting time on purpose or trying to come up with something (because he is strong) and this confuses me a lot. Yes, I don't like slow players

thats just part of the game, you get tilted by it, thats better for them,

they do it make you play your worst instead of letting you play your best.

its the same when you lose AAVSAJ or something and the person says "whoops sorry, lol" they want you too get tilted and get under your skin..


just play more games or have something on the side like shows or music, so you dont focus on a player playing slow.

I understand players, when they are in a bubble, their slow play is justified.

More so when it's excessively long with a tight player. Online not as much because of timers and multi tabling.

Yes

I don't mind if someone is retarded, but if they are not, then generally being very slow = being very selfish, imo. They could go faster, but they don't care about the other players, so they don't. These players need to be told by the dealer to hurry up, or be kicked off the table.

I have told a few people to hurry up. One guy was waiting until the action was on him then very slowly checking his hole cards. One, and then even more slowly the second. I get the idea as to why it's good to wait until the action is one you, but the extra 10 seconds it took him to check his cards every hand was annoying. I told him so. He didn't take it that well, but he sped up.

More annoying is people who think tehy are clever by playing slow to annoy people. Annoying people is not a skill. I have been doing it my whole life without even trying.

slow play is annoying ,but telling players to speed it up only makes players slow down even more. i like playing fast , but will use the clock close to the money.

Sometimes they are too boring, because sometimes there is no reason to think too much, the table is so obvious that you don't need it.
Now when the bubble is close to bursting and you have billionaire chips ... The clock becomes your friend ...

stalling is kind of part of tournament poker by now i guess. and to be honest: near the bubble its quite understandable and i do it myself sometimes when i am short and there are payjumps/we are near the bubble. what really annoys me are players who do it in the early stages, when its hand for hand and on the final table. its just so senseless.

in the end of the day the sad reality is that everyone has their timebank and they can do with it what they want. is it annoying and unfriendly? yeah sure it is but what can you do? if someone decides to be a jerk thats his decision.

I try not to let it bother me. Especially when I'm playing in multiple tables and know it can take a few moments to calculate each hand then move on to the next. They know their time limit and if they're forced to fold then whatever.

It depends on the moment. There are times when slowness is justified, thinking well what one is going to do. But always slowing down the game seems disrespectful to the other players. You have to play and let play.:cool::cool:

What I usually do is to play several tables at once then my attention is shared between different tables going on.

No not infuriate some players play a lot of tables and on some tables you need to think about how to play.

Everyone has their own style of play. It can't be helped.

No I don't get angry if someone needs time to play because it happens to me when I play more than one table. Patience!

I only slow play when I make an extremely unlikely monster of a hand like flopping a full house 8s full of 9s or something crazy. I don't like slow playing because usually I get cracked if I have a monster pocket pair.

Yeap it makes me a feeling angry when they are doing that by purpose but I think it is their aim to disbalance you and lost control. Or taking equal time so nobody's could not read their hands in case of bluff.
