If poker sites give you a certain amount of time to act before it folds your hand, then why do idiots hold down the Z key to make their point about hurrying up? I understand because it indicates snoring which means sleeping, but the poker sites are giving you an alloted amount of time. you are not breaking any rules. then you get the knuckleheads who say they will report you for purposely wasting time. give me a break.

Whenever I see someone typing in the zzzzzzz I take the maximum time every time just to piss them off. If it ruins their experience even better because I do not like rude people who try to bully their way around.
That is all I have to say about that.

I do this also as it almost always tilts the weak minded ones and they then make a lot of grudge calls/raises and you take their chips to piss them off even more

hmm I don't think of it as bullying at all tbo... I don't type it but I don't get offended if somebody else does... If a person has to take so so long to decide what to do it does get annoying if it is happening several times during the game..and if they are playing several tables they are not doing very well at it.. hahaha Why do we all have to wait constantly for these people to play I really do like the saying its two cards GO..

Exactly Toots.
Two great minds think alike but if you know the ending to that saying it is fools seldom differ so it is hard to say which is me. :)

I can see how some will / can get annoyed with it.

Some players use the time allowed to run down the clock and try to min cash. Others are new to the game and take a little longer. Tough decisions ect. Most have no problem with this.

Bellow is the real issue imo:

Players who think they can multi table more tables than they actually can. And when it is time for them to act they just about time out or actually do time out almost every single time. No consideration for others at the table. Then players will get frustrated and type things like ZZZZZ. Myself, I just usually leave that game and find another. You can also get into trouble from the sites for running down the timer too much if players are putting in complaints about you.

I think it is funny when a player gets the ZZZZZZZZZ from somebody. The annoyed player seems distracted by this and gets felted moments later.

I've seen the zzzs when a player goes slow one time. That's pathetic. Also pathetic is the person at the 2 cent table playing only one table and taking 45 seconds each time. That is who is rude and pathetic. Yes it's within the rules. So is calling people names. So is hit and running. So is time banking down and folding for a nickel when you are getting
7 -1 preflop. So as you can see, the logic that because something is within the rules makes it ethical or ok is pure fallacy.
