Do you find that on most online games if you click the 'fold to any bet' it goes by so fast that it makes it obvious to the other person that you didn't press check? Do you bet when you notice the other player has clicked that?

Yes i've noticed it does fold very quickly but then i like to imagine it gives me Qudos for hastening the game and not slowing it down...

Sometime i would gladly give a few cents or a BB just to make the previous player hurry his play lol

Stop when the fun stops or when play has slowed to a crawl

I notice that,sure every one see that you or anybodyelse click check/fold,i use that if i see he click check/fold on turn i raise on river maybe i win if he press that button again!!!

Meh , It Depends. I usually click it when there are more than 2 other people in the hand. When I'm waiting on 3 other people to make a decision if I Know I have no way of winning even on a bluff I will click it and move onto the next hand.

It doesn't matter to me whether they know or not as I usually only click it if I know I am not playing the hand no matter what.

If you're getting out of the hand then I don't think it matters. If you're playing some hands after bets it shows that you won't fold to every bet. Also, if you use fold to any bet it might give the other person the false impression that you're not really paying attention. Maybe they will bet more thinking that they can keep getting you to fold. When you get a good hand you can take more chips from them.

If there is a full ring table I don't mind using that button, but when there are 4 players or less maybe i consider stealing the blinds with a wide range.

If you notice this, then this is a great reason to raise a bet. Of course it depends on the number of players at the table remaining in the game, your position, etc.

The next time I always make the minimum bets for such a player. I think this is a profitable approach

That’s an excellent idea! I never thought of it that way!

It doesn't affect me.

There was a old book called "kill online poker" and I think the second installment was "kill everyone". Tells you to never click fast fold box . That players can develop timing tells against you. I figured if never click that damn box and change up my timing on,folds . makes you harder to,time. But, this slows the game down . less hands per hour.

Well, Yes, it is a sign in online poker, if after your check your opponent immediately checks, then he has a weak hand and he is ready to throw it in a pass.

�� I Like to pre-select „check“ with monsters... since most people seem to react with a „he is weak I can buy the pot here“ bet I get paid more than if i wound start the action myself...

And then I bet thinking they'll fold and they raise. Tricked again.

Yes, it can be used, but you need to be sure that the check / fold button was pressed in advance and you should not pay attention to the fold pressed in advance after raising from early position.

I've been clicking the fold button whilst waiting for others ahead of me. At times it seems like I’m being picked on by players to my immediate right keep raising into me. Hmmm. Might have to rethink the clicking fold too quickly

i also fold, now i think this is a bad strategy

Knowing that those have those auto queues can mean a few things, one thing could be they are doing multiple tables... or they are really new and you can note when they actually have a playable hand when they are up for action.

I’ve been known this. But usually I’m running like 5-7 tables daily.

Some times I also fold fast but not with frequence.

Yes, I always bet when I realize that the villain leaves this option checked, and that is a sign of a bad player. I always win the pot when that happens, it's a profitable play in the long run!

If I am multitabling and I hold crap in early position i use it. Never in late position.

Yes I find that clicking those gives the table a read on my hand

Yeah it’s something that lazy fish players do. I will do it if I’m in an early position and I’m in multiple tournaments.

I use it for a laugh at cash tables. If I'm bluffing all the way and being called, when the opponent then takes a lot of time to work out how much to bet, only for an instant fold because I ticked that box. I've seen players tilt badly after that. I will usually comment on the amount of time they took while the tick was in the box all that time.

Of course, if you have to keep a little time so that the opponent can get a little confused, you make your movements known so early

Yes I notice it, sometimes I also click "fold to any bet" when i have weak hands.

It’s good If flop is very bad for you, and you don’t want to bluff

Yes i do, but you can use it to trap opponents as well.

They will be more confident and bet, then you raise and confuse his mind.

The only time I use any "auto" feature is to fold preflop, and never in the blinds. I like to try to make sure most of my actions are roughly 5 seconds. If I'm in a large pot, I always take more time. And with a really big hand, I take more time than usual to make bets or check or fold. It makes my hands look weaker. Timing tells can be very effective if you are paying attention. These days; however, most people are playing so many tables that not many are even paying attention.

I don’t understand why you need to enable this feature in online poker. Do we play poker or push-pins? Rave.

It depends on the player. some players use this strategy for value and can fall into a trap

I use to play very fast but few days back I learnt that that's bad habit and I quickly adapt playing a little slower.

Why would you ever press that button? It makes no sense
