I hate them the most especially when I have 1-3 tables left.
When I'm multitabling I don't pay attention to that

Well, some players have several goals with this action. firstly, to hide the strength of their hand. secondly, try to anger the opponent.

Usually, when I have a lot of chips, I play pretty fast.With a small stack, I start playing slowly and more restrained, which often helps me wait for a good card and return the pot.

I don't like it either, but I can't get away from it. I love a quick game.

Greetings, it is quite possible that a person plays a lot of tables and does not have time to react quickly everywhere, and yes, you are right, it can be a psychological trick 😀

Are slow players annoying? I'm gone. I noticed that during the tournament, the player has a different speed of play (depending on the stack or approaching the final table). In addition to the strategy, there is also a tactic, the player wants to get the maximum result from the distribution, if several players from other tables have dropped out during one draw.

This version can also be accepted. But when a person plays from home, he can be distracted by various household chores and does not always have time to make a move on time.

Some time you need a minute to think things out, but players that take forever to play are a pain in my _ss.

players who sometimes lose they start to make people nervous,they see that they have lost and try to kill time.why do they do it?they try to irritate the opponent in front of them. your thoughts are very interesting.I did not do it myself
There are players who use each hand for the maximum time, obviously provoking, so when I have to wait for him, let him wait for my decision, I start playing the same.

I do not care.
If I start playing poker, I always have time and I'm not in a hurry. I think such players do such stupid things simply because of their own impotence.

I don't care how fast my opponents play at all. My nerves are like steel ropes.

Simply because they are not professionals, they are children by their behavior

Personally, such players don't annoy me, because everyone is allowed to think and make a decision within a certain time. The second thing is when players use all their time, then accept my bet and show the highest hand. There should be a separate place in hell for such people)

I think patience is everything, the tournament will take a while with or without these players, and the other tables will stick.

Yes- absolutely annoying. Especially if it’s at every turn. If it’s once in a while - during a big hand.. take 30-60 seconds. BUT not every hand. Some sites will auto sit you out.. which is good- speeds the game up.

Stupid moves require equally stupid responses.

If we can't force them to play lika a decent player... who comes into hands with a decent range, in position...
... that sort of thing, then at least we can piss them off.
No remorse, just using the tools the game has to offer.

I think the question should be why are players annoyed at other players who take their allotted time? Oh, I've got the answer: They're like the worst doctor in a small town; no patience. I know it's "patients" but it's my joke so...
I really like it when a player starts to ramble or throw "crap" at another player because they are using their clock liberally. It usually means they have a nice hand they can't wait to play. Thanx, btw.
As far as the whiny, "Karens" of the world who think that everyone should play the way they play... Your republican is showing. Might wanna tuck that in. 🤪🖕

Of course, it can be annoying if someone plays very slowly, but there can be several reasons for this: a bad internet connection, playing on several tables, deliberately taking time (to reach ITM), or just simply thinking and analyzing.
You can't know the truth, but it's certain that there are as many people as there are lives, so you have to be patient.

Well my 5 cent's here,
it's their time so they can spent it like they want. And it is a strategy in MTT tournaments every second of waiting time can bring you nearer to the bubble, it may not bring you to the final table if you are ultra short, but it can bring you on the ladder and maybe 2 or 3 steps higher on the payout ladder.
