I say it a lot and I will say it some more. I've got to the point where nothing I see at the tables bothers me. In other words, I don't tilt at all. I just say OH WELL and move on, but there is still this one thing I can't stand. Some players will let the clock run down every hand even if they plan to fold. I mean they act like they are playing $5/$10 and have to put a lot of thought into their next move. Now don't get me wrong, every player is given time to think, and I respect that. But does it have to be every hand? I think they have been watching the pros to much. Anyway, needed to get that off my mind. GL all
I understand how you feel, Sometimes it annoys me as well, but to be totally honest I have done it myself on occasion, but usually I wait until I make the money, that way I can ladder up a little higher, by making use of my time bank.
It is a common mistake by many players who don't use their time bank to ladder up higher in the prize money, but again it all depends on how much it is and how far you can get, I don't usually bother if it is a free-roll and I certainly don't do it on the final table, as there are no other tables where players can go out before you.
9 player Sit and Goes are a prime example where I wouldn't bother using my time bank unless I wanted to appear weak to aggressive players when I have hit the nuts on the flop, and I want them to try and force me off a hand.
Sometimes it is not of their choosing, if they lose connection or the phone rings etc, there are a number of times when I have had to answer the door or phone when I am involved in a hand, and it looks like I am trying to drag it out longer but I am away from the computer, there have been times when my Wife makes a late Dinner and I have to sit out for a while.
So we have to put up with it and like you say "Oh Well I played my best, So be it" that is why I never go on tilt because you have to accept it and move on to the next game.
When the fun Stops, STOP!
