Online Wait or play?

When you sit down at a new table online do you play asap or do you wait for a circuit to get the blinds around to you? It seems to me that if there are 4 or more players before you then pay the blind and play. If three or less then wait for the blind.

What is your opinions on this.

Depends how much i sit down with really. If I havent that much ill wait for the blind.

About the only real time that I'll pay the blinds out of position is the cutoff and it is a really juicy table. OTher than that, it's just not worth it really. I can wait the five or six minutes to start playing.

i always wait even if i sit down at 5/10 playchips with 1k..i still wait u have to make it a habit..

I prefer to wait not just from a blind point of view but to get a feel for the game and the players.

There is no reason to pay the blind early to play earlier.
It doesn't change your image, as most won't notice, and you're paying more $ than you need to to play that first round.

If you don't have the patience to wait for the blinds you don't have the patience to play.

I guess I go against popular belief, but I pay. If I can get into the co or mp2 then I pay. It's not costing that much to play a hand or 2 in lp, if I fold everything to the blinds then I begin creating a tight player image so the next orbit I can do a steal or 2 from lp & I start earning fpp's right away. My 2cents.

from what ive read in poker books the right thing to do is wait, i use the time checking out whats happening at table. i wait

I always always always always always wait for my bib blind. There is no point in paying more in blinds than is needed, and waiting helps me get a feel for the other players and how I should play against them

If you don't wait for the ante you are just wasteing your money.
