how much does the waiting time influence the game?

can you control the time?

longer time - better cards?

less time- worst cards?

time doesn't influence the cards you're dealt. the odds of you getting dealt aa is the same if blinds are 5 minutes long or 15 minutes long.

time does, however, influence your stack size and effective big blinds, which changes your preflop range strategy. with longer blinds, say 15-20 minutes or longer, you can be more selective of hands you play. with 5 minute blinds or shorter, you can't be as selective.

hi there

worst than that is to face some fishes that just waste their time and fold at the very last second
that is a *¨%¨%$¨%

Sin embargo, el tiempo influye en el tamaño de su stack y en las ciegas grandes efectivas, lo que cambia su estrategia de rango preflop. con ciegas más largas, digamos de 15 a 20 minutos o más, puede ser más selectivo con las manos que juega. con ciegas de 5 minutos o menos, no puedes ser tan selectivo.

Sorry for my English, as a player's reading for the time it takes, what I wanted to ask is that if a player lets time run and plays does it mean they have a good hand, and if they play fast does it mean they don't have good cards?

In Online poker it doesn't matter because most of the players don't read by your time.

I have seen folks delay making their bet if they are on the bubble and hoping that by doing that they stand a better chance of someone else taking the exit. Does not mean it is bad, bad, but it can be very stressful to others. Part of the game, I reckon.

Time is not very important in online poker.

It seems to me you mean "timing tells". You cannot make a generalization but if you look closely you will notice some, such as betting too fast or taking too long. Of course, the meaning of these "tells" can only be deduced by observing your opponent and seeing his showdowns.

When I play important tournaments I always play them from the start the blinds are very small and I try to play my best on the flop without risking a lot of stack instead in freerolls or low tournaments I let a few minutes pass because most of them are maniacs and play all-in with whatever comes to them.
