Do You Use Auto Buttons?

[makisaa]

If the game is slow and more critical I use them less, but if the game is faster I use them.

 

[neiltur]

It depends on the situation, charts and position on the table, but sometimes I use yes.

 

[Roger1960]

If I notice someone is using the auto fold button, I will raise more times against him/her. I use it myself very seldom, usually not once per tourney, but there are times when I do once in a row. never more.
I watched my brother play and I asked him why he did it. He said I already decided. I then said, what if it is folded to you and you are in a heads up situation? He always wondered how come a lot more players raise his blinds than mine. I told him, most times you are on auto fold and I am sure if they were paying attention, they know. And like me will raise you, I told him that is one thing I look for.

I use just the "fold to any bet".

 

[sryulaw]

I know it exists but I never went back, I think he is welcome when playing more than 10 screens at the same time ...

Is it a good idea to use Auto Buttons like "Fold", "Call Any", "Check", "Check/Fold" etc...

Or do you always wait for the action to come to you and make a decision on the spot?

Modify decision obviously, but certainly don't wait till my turn to start the decicion making process.

 

[AMTF1988]

I do use these, it makes things quicker if I know what I'm definitely going to do. I need to practice taking my time to do some actions but I haven't learned how to do that yet

I do not like to use the buttons of automatic actions. I use automatic buttons when I play several tables.
Also on the actions of opponents who use automatic buttons you can read the cards, for example:
1. Instant automatic raise - usually means a very strong hand;
2. Instant automatic check - means a weak hand.

 

[misakhe]

I don't use auto buttons

 

[InnerForce]

I only use auto fold button (just preflop) because others buttons may give a tell so i dont use em

 

[vov4ik]

I do not use automatic buttons, I click when I need to make a decision to fold a check, etc.

 

[BlackJesus]

It is certainly better to wait till the action comes to you. When many players limp in, any cards are good enough to play for family pot, with 1-2 BB "raises". The odds are low, but potential is huge. Sometimes you just catch those 3 of a kind threes, with only 1 having in your hands.

 

[Nano5722]

This button is called "fold to any bet". Of course, i use it, why not?!

 

[Fastone2]

I use to use auto buttons.
but, now, I wait to decide what play to make..

 

[darthdimsky]

Only use the "Fold to any bet" and occasionally the "check/fold to any bet" if I limped in the SB and there are more than 3 players in the action. Otherwise avoid using them as much as possible for the fear of timing tells.

 

[CriesuaID]

When I play more than two tables...yes
When I play less than two table I usually don't use it.

 

[Ledenev_Russ]

it seems to me that everybody uses them..

 

[AKbadboyAK]

Yes.

 

[king11682]

sometime

 

[vitalii029]

when I see that just will not play with this card then you press the automatic button fold

 

[Alex Kim27]

You have to be careful with the automatic buttons. I sometimes use the automatic fold button. I usually prefer to think before clicking on the button

 

[kidrock1211]

i use auto fold 99% of time and the others 50% of time it is good to use the i have hit raise alot of my chips and i met to fold and have hit fold when i met to call or raise!!

 

[C3H6S]

i dont think be a good idea auto buttons..

 

[cracker]

I use auto fold when the person acting before me runs the clock every hand.

 

[Allmine79]

Using auto buttons can be a timing tell online. I mix it up on my call times acting tricky with quick calls to sometimes see a free card.
