If it is only me or what?
I realy hate , when players are thinking long time to make his move.
Is it make any difference at online poker if you think long time, or it is just thing, to make opponent angry?

Well first of all i dont think theres much of a difference between live and online poker in that regard. Online poker is faster cause dealer dont have to shuffle cards, and people dont have to count chips and move them, but the decisions players making are the same.
When you facing some big decision you must use every little thing that could help you, every tell. And its perfectly fine for me is someone wants to take his time and rethink all the hand action twice before making decision.

Some folks are playing multiple tables and some aren't that practiced at online poker. Some may be trying to annoy you but I'd guess there aren't that many of those.

Although, there was one player in League who made a point of running out the clock on every single hand. Since I played against him a lot it was pretty annoying.

It would serve you well to learn not to be aggravated by this.

I am a player who takes his time to think out what I am going to do. This can be at times pre flop but more likely post flop. I dont do this every hand but when I have a hand I am contemplating playing. It is usually less then than 5 seconds too. Most hands pre flop are hand that take no thinking at all. IE i am folding the junk and raising the good cards. Post flop is where i take my time and evaluate my hand vs the other players. Again usually less than 5 seconds and again many times there is not really any time taken.

While I know I am not the type of player you are really annoyed at and there are players who just time it out every single time and drive me nuts as well, you should look at some of the better players you see online including on CC. Many of them are not just making quick moves but thinking about what they want to do next. They dont take long but they think out how they want to play.

Bigger the tourney the longer I take. Timing is everything. More time goes by more players get knocked out. Once I'm in the money time means I ladder up. This doesn't change in live play either. Patience wins. If you don't have patience your in the wrong game.

I use every second on clock. I know this aggregates players and they tend to make mistakes. Sorry ahead of time. But it's part of the strategy.

Many things can be going on here that causes long thinking...

• Some players are multi-tabling so it may look like they take long, but attention is in many places. Some of these players also have the automatic
• There are strategies to take a long time. For example, if we have ICM considerations
• They may be learning the game so takes longer to make decision
• They might be tanking on purpose to make other players think they have a big decision
• They might have to run to the kitchen or restroom or take care of some kid
• many more things....

...and they also might be trying to TILT players who get annoyed by the "shot clock"

Long thinking are good when you are in doubt, in rest is bullshit!

The poker room gives the player a certain amount of time to think. You have to count the number of outs, the range of the opponent's hands, the size of the bets, think through each move to control the pot on all the streets. Online poker is not a reckless push of buttons. Attention to each action gives you a chance to make the right decision.

Hardly anyone thinks long in the game. It's just that people are likely to play at multiple tables. I still have a delay in the game, when, for example, I run to brew boiled tea. Understand this, and you will not be very annoyed by it while playing.

Hi ArmiSoo7. That used to bother too years ago, but I come to realize that no matter if it's live or online poker, every player has a time bank they can use no matter what for. Look at it like this. If they run their clock down every hand, it also gives you time to think too. GL

I do not like it when they pull the rubber with the answer. Especially when there is nothing to think about. I can very rarely hesitate to answer. But it really needs to weigh the pros and cons. And there are players who drag out time for each move. Either they look into poker programs or are busy with other things besides poker.

This is a normal phenomenon. You just need to learn not to be nervous.
