I use the fold button only, and half the time it don't work right and I still have to manually fold......
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.
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.
I exert what control I can, when I can.
