making some slow moves is often part of the strategy, but some players abuse it too much, it feels like I'm playing with a turtle

Hi! In this case, I can advise you not to take it into account! try to focus on your own playing style.

On the one hand, not everyone lives at the same speed. Not to mention that some people play on several tables at the same time.
On the other hand, you don't know what he does outside of poker. You have to be patient, that's all. Anyway, if you sit down to play without patience, you won't win anyway, that's a fact.

Did you stop to think that sometimes these players can be at more than one table?

Also, it is necessary to think before acting, so it doesn't bother me.

I think there should be a clock that allows you so much time to play , or your hand is folded after a set time.

Don't let it impress you and follow through with your own match plan should be the key here.

In poker, some players act slowly every single time! Personally I feel annoyed by them: what's your feeling?
Annoyed, that's it, I find it very rude to waste all our time like that. I do what ever I can to take them out.

Part of the game, unless he does it all hands until the last second (which is still his right but would bother me a bit and I would open one or two more tables in that case) there is a pre-defined time limit that can be used, I don't see a problem, try to play more than one table or look for tournaments with another dynamic.

It cand be a bit annoying, but then i think: when i do it it's because i need that time for some reason.
So i respect everyone.

Also, playing more than one table can help you not to be annoyed by slowplay.

I don't feel uncomfortable with them because time is essential for a game that requires reasoning and strategy.

I don't treat players who play at multiple tables at once

Well, I'm patient with them, because if I'm playing several tables, those players are a breather 😅

I myself use the time bank as I see fit for myself at the moment and let my opponents do the same. It doesn't bother me. :cool:

Poker encourages people to use their brains and acquire the skills they need to be successful. Poker players begin to think mathematically when they realize that it can help their poker game. In order to win at poker, you need to be very observant. some think for a long time or take time to get into the prizes.

It is not critical for me. Moreover, sometimes I myself make a decision quite slowly, since I play at the same time at 3-4 tables, and therefore I need time to think. I do not see anything wrong with this, especially since the use of additional time is provided for in the rules.

I am very annoyed by slow players. In my opinion, such players can be divided into two categories. First: a slow player by nature. The second: a slow player, a professional who, by his behavior, takes the opponent out of balance to lure reckless bets.
