Sounds like you have it all figured out. Guess it's not as annoying as you made it out to be.

I don't mind when people take their time to bet or call, you should always do what's best for your game. But I have to say, it is really annoying when people do that every single hand just to fold preflop.

sometimes you have to wait to the last second just to survive, so you can make it in the money..

Well most of the people are doing it before the bubble or a ladder in the tournaments, waiting for people to but and have a guaranteed higher payout ,
Or, I think trying to show your opponent your hand its not actually good when you call before river and thus encourage them to bet or try to bluff you when you actually hold nuts or have a very strong hand .
Or, simply to calculate and try to figure every possible play the other player might have or to hide your hand from him as opposite to when you snap a call and give out tells , hope this helps .

Maybe your opponent plays a lot of tables at the same time and he just does not have time to press the buttons. Or at another table a serious situation, over which he needs to think longer.

It is very annoying that they play like this but if they have pocket aces it has happened a couple of times and it seems to me of the last

it doesn't matter if the player does it because of a bubble or because he plays many tables or for some other reason, I think that this is his right granted to him by the poker room !!!

In most cases it is allowing others to see more hands and you have less chance of doing well in a tourney. I understand close to a bubble, though I prefer to play faster regardless.

I find I'm having much better results when taking sufficient time before acting. Thinking my bet & strategy through twice.
Apart from (hopefully) making less mistakes, also others seem more likely to fold at later stages.

I don't really pay attention, it's 15-20 sec, nothing changes in my play.

I completely agree with the message
RocwX, I understand when people think to make a serious bet or not, but when to do it with each hand and throw it off, it makes me tremble a lot!

It is legal and no more than 30 seconds per person so it is not so annoying. Maybe if everybody is doing this constantly it would be a problem but for now i do not find it so bad. Such slowing down of the game as already mentioned is understandable near the bubble if you are short stack or if you play too many tables. I personally try to react in the first few seconds and i think that majority of the players understand that fast play gives you chance to play more hands which is good for your game.

In a hyper turbo game, you blinds are going up while the player is taking time to make a descision. So this could be a strategy to put pressure on short stack players.

The bubble argument is there, but in cash games it is a helpful way to avoid giving away tells. I have noticed some people checking fast when first to act and opponents are exploiting that as weakness and they follow it with a quick fold. Or when the open raiser does a c-bet, gets a call and then takes a long time to check back. It is these little things that do not go unnoticed and taking the same amount of time to do a move would certainly keep their opponents on their toes.

In my experience this usually happens in two cases. Either that's regs who multitable and therefore they just can't play fast, especially, if they are facing postflop decisions. Or It's some kind of satellite, especially any Big fish ones on 888 poker, once there are around 50 players to go, everyone start to take their time to the very last second. And I do it as well, you will be just hurting your chances to qualify if you are not acting like the rest of the field does (unless you have a huge stack).

Hi.
Yes, I agree with you, sometimes it annoys.
But I also have such delays. Usually, when I play 5-7 tables at a time, I physically do not have time to make bets, so I treat such delays with understanding.
Good luck.

These players are trying to reach the prize zone. That's strategy. Whether you like it or not.

No. I love it. It clearly shows your hand.
