Delay of time in poker

[KrazyKoo]

I do it like every tourney I do but I am time terrorist. One time I made elderly woman wait 20 seconds for her meal, from her life that is like 1/5 of it right?

If it is every single hand then they are most likely attempting to make a bubble or just slow down play on their table so they can ladder up.

If it's near the bubble , I understand , I must admit I have done it in the past . If he does it once in a while , just to show that he's thinking or that he's having a good hand or whatever , I understand it and it doesn't bother me . If he does it all the time , using every time all his seconds and every some hands some of his extra time , then he irritates me for sure and I will say a word to him to stop it . But I say it again , if it's near the bubble or he does it once in a while , I really don't care , it's part of the game for me

I dont mind once and awhile but when a player dose it every turn or all most every turn!1 I want to scream just glad its not a live game or i might be band!! lol

 

[ScottieDuncan]

When the player does this every time and knows, very well, that they are going to fold really gets to me. Complete jerk.

I honestly don't care if people take long, it is a good strategy around the bubble too (even though its rude)

 

[ubo]

I understand those who delay , who will not be able what to do ...
But when the stack is large and also pull the time it terribly enrages.
Do not understand these people.

 

[Mauno]

it's good time to think and look around

 

[miric007]

I do not mind when someone makes maximum use of the time, it is his right that you take the time to think about how to play.
I also use my time.
If someone did not have to hurry to sit down to play poker !!

I sometimes do myself in MTT - and calm attitude - when it makes someone else. To turn is given a certain time - and this is a personal matter - how to use it.

 

[alar2080]

it's everyone's business if the regulation allows so there is time to escape

 

[feecg]

Most of time, when playing online, the time is more than necessary, but certainly there are some hands that takes more time to decide if you are going to call, raise or fold.

 

[milka1605]

I do not like when players think long and thus delaying the game. When close the bubble we can understand a player who is playing for time to get the money. I also sometimes so I do if I have a little chip and do not want to risk it.

 

[PHX]

Online it's not a problem as all sites have time limits that are reasonable to act.
Live some people just over do it. I understand you entitled to your time to make a decision but damn 3-5 mins tanking should be enough to make a decision even for all your chips.What annoys me too is people just taking long to act when they don't got a decision. Some people wait till actions is on them to look at cards then ask bet amount then look around at stack sizes maybe ask for a stack size count on the raiser then tank a min or two then fold their garbage and they do it regularly.

Be patient. It is not prohibited. Everyone plays differently. Nothing can be done.

 

[0546474]

everyone has their own tactics of the game !!! Time delay can be caused by many reasons such as to bring the opponent out of balance, or simply to get money !!! or just a player playing many tables !!! Poker requires patience in any situation !!!

 

[Sonny87]

It drives me crazy, especially when people slow play the nuts. If its an itm near the bubble situation i tend to jam alot more.

 

[Alex Sentsov]

Everyone plays as he sees fit. It is not prohibited. Though annoying.

 

[zam220]

I do this sometimes when close to ITM and not too many chips.Time everything is given and how to use it private matter

 

[B1BOMBER]

Well I feel the time belongs to you to use as you wish. I've seen a lot of people that could stand to use a little more of their time. I like to consider what i feel others are holding before risking a lot of my chips. It does not bother me if anyone wants to use their clock, I feel it's their option.

 

[cranberry]

I always hold my time, when I have a small stack before the bubble. Sometimes it happens that delays a few players before the bubble, and I treat them with understanding.
Another thing, when players start to delay the time at the beginning and the middle of the tournament, although they may play at multiple tables or doing other things.

 

[olfabiolo]

I think the time is free for anyone to use, niguem likes to be expecting more when you use it, you do not remember that.

 

[grinya774]

Rarely stalling in the game, but it is sometimes.

 

[Rounder_740]

In many cases it's strategy for a player to take the full allotted time. It makes them consistent on their time between action

 

[davem86]

Most of the time it really doesn't bother me that much because in some situations it can help you.
And there are players who use the entire time bank for each hand whether they play the hand or not.
So yea sometimes it does and I yell at the screen or politely ask them to hurry it up.
