Are you a fast or slow thinker?

[odonob]

Fast normally, but everyone wants to think of themselves like that. Depends on your experience in any given situation. The more exposure you have to a scenario the quicker you eventually see a response. For example, if I see the flop now and other players hole cards I can now quickly identify what they need to hit, that took a long time to develop that skill.

Like lots os people here i'm fast, not very accurate though.

 

[rufininha14]

Slow, because I like to think a lot about the moves I'm going to make and see the best way to play

 

[amatola]

Slow thinker, but act fast. A terrible, terrible combination. Ends up with lots of why, WHY, did I do that??? Situations...😖

I generally prefer to take my time before making important decisions however poker doesn't always allow for it.

A lot of the more straightforward decisions should be streamlined once you've played poker for long enough, you should know which boards have a high c-bet frequency and which ones you should range check. Similar to once we get into push fold spots, those decisions shouldn't take too much processing power because we should have learnt them already and we're just recalling them from memory.

It just takes time, work on a new poker skill until it becomes second nature and you won't need to spend that much computing power to make a decision, saving your attention for more important and valuable spots.


Overall I would classify myself as a quick thinker, but part of that is being able to quickly recognize a decision will take more time. I think that's really important too.

[hilary antonik filho]

It depends a lot on the situation, I think very fast sometimes, sometimes I think fast at others I even think too slow

 

[GarotoMaroto]

I dont know, this is very strange question XD
I think carefully is probably the best way.
Hurry is enemy of perfection.
God bless

 

[Atararo14]

It depends on whether it's a simple or complicated spot, I still think I'm a fast thinker.

 

[antonis32123]

In important decisions I am slow thinker . In unimportant i amm a fast thinker , poker rooms don't give you much time to decide in crucial spots that's for sure

 

[anasslaaleg]

It’s important to recognize that both fast and slow thinking have their strengths and weaknesses. Some situations require quick, intuitive thinking, while others demand careful, deliberate analysis. Most people tend to exhibit a combination of both types depending on the context.

....depends on how awake I am at the time🤔👍

 

[akmost]

Pre flop and post flop I usually know what to do depending on the situation, I try not to take any super fast decisions because I usually I am wrong.
In some cases , like if my opponent jams river and I am the one who has to call it may take me the whole time bank to decide if his move makes sense or not.

 

[ztibor72]

I'm more of a quick thinker, I consider possible actions before it's my turn.
Most of the time I have a plan ready by the time it's my turn.

 

[successlaw]

If you will play more tables than usual , you become a fast thinker for sure

 

[Spielkind]

Im a multiple thinker, fast and straight on--playing poker-4 tables-talking with family and doing a 10k piece puzzle...at same time...im only 65

 

[nichtozhestvo]

depends on the situation

 

[mssmotilda]

I play my hands quickly. I think there's not much to think about, you can only see your cards and the ones in the center

Well, that's definitely a losing strategy. In poker, you need to think about your opponents' cards first, and then look at your own and the center.

 

[Tadi]

I'm more of a slow thinker, which means I often struggle to figure out the best move within the 10 seconds allowed during a hand. As a result, I often rely on instinct rather than sound logic. Does anyone else experience this?

One second is enough, and in exceptional cases a little more time.

 

[besttest11]

Depends. usally Iam fast.

 

[Spielkind]

Im faster at the river , then the dealer, sometimes im right, often im lost

 

[gloria_marga]

I think quickly. I have already planned what I will do under any circumstances as soon as I start the game. This saves me from having to rely on superstitions.

 

[kecoakbogor]

im fast thinker but always play time to make opponent greedy patience is a part of strategy

 

[dimon4ik89]

In general, I think very quickly and can make decisions instantly)) but I very rarely do this, because I will be very predictable and opponents will be able to easily read my style of play, for some reason I think so)). There are situations when you really need to think, this happens mainly in those moments when, for example, there is a big pot, or a very important stage of the tournament, or an opponent who is really good and strong in poker plays against me). I think in order to play a poker hand as correctly and effectively as possible, you need to rely on both instinct and common sense. I tried to play relying only on instinct or only on common sense, but the best result is obtained when I use both at the same time.
