it's probably a good idea to get in the habit of waiting until it's your turn before deciding what to do. or you might be calling all-ins when you don't like your cards THAT much.

Only thing you should click before your turn is the fold button. Everything else just wait until it is your turn.

Depending on the action you could put in a stealing raise, but not if you pre-click the check or call button.

The insta check button is a dead giveaway that you are weak too.

First of all just stop using that button. Secondly if you were using it to limp into pots you need to get out of that habit also.

Pre clicking means you have made a decision before the play gets to you which in my opinion is a bad move. I always wait until it is my turn to play before deciding what action I am going to take.

No reason for using it for anything except fold and only on hands I have not intention of playing regardless of action in front of me....if you're limping so much you need to auto click it that's a leak imo.

Some people can guage the strength of your hand by the "cadence" or timing of your play online. The problem I have with these buttons is that they never go all-in when you checked it the time it gets around to you (esp. on 888). Trust me. When I want to go all in I will always go all in. But I guess if i check the all in and it actually shoved all in, it would be a tell that you're strong so I guess it's good that it doesn't work. I've even ranted to support on 888 about this cause when you check the button and then like get distracted for 10-20 seconds then your hand will fold when you pressed the all in.

I always wait to click anything. I want to see what everyone else is doing first.

This is pretty much my approach.

I generally agree with you Tom, if anything, it promotes a bad habit. HOWEVER, a major difference between live poker and OLP, is that you are forced to see your cards immediately on the deal, and in so many cases they tell you, no, they demand you fold unless you are in specific opportunistic situations. :icon_rend

I am more time conscious in OLP games, and for the most part would rather see more hands per blind level (tourney player...) than try to impart some table image that over the internet I can not control. So I try to speed things up except when I decide I want to purposely slow things down. :confused::confused::confused:

I exert what control I can, when I can.:D
