For me it depends on which poker phase I am.
In the beginning and in the middle I leave myself only a few seconds, especially when I tend to fold.
At the end of an MTT at Finaltisch I try to give me ca. 20 seconds.

I make decisions very quickly. But always depends on how much my hand is strong..

I usually take about 5-10 seconds, but it varies in different situations.

It all depends on the situation, sometimes when you play for several tables, there is not enough time to make a decision.

The first decision is usually the correct one

Hallo! I make my choice very fust, becouse it's fortune things, I see what i need and make a moove)

Quickly, i don't like wasting time.

I make quick decisions it's better that way.... My first instinct is by best option in the end.

Accordingly i don't give too much time for taking decisions , ☝️☝️

Personally I tend to make a quick decision, sometimes I do take longer to act then necessary in order to make my opponent edgy

All depends on the situation sometimes stalling but not much mainly on the bluff or with the nuts plus look what kind of players to do it in General, it's all situational

Usually i make a move fast but there are times when i need to consider and ofc when i have the nuts

very situational though in bigger buy-in tourneys I try to use the same amount of clock every hand to keep them from having a read, also try to make my betting pattern consistent when I can.

The most important thing for beginning poker players is to realize that bet-timing behavior can influence your opponent's actions. When you start playing regularly, it is important to not act too quickly or you risk giving away important information about your hand.

I usually take about 10 seconds to act. On some hands thou I do tank to induce action. It is sometimes difficult to keep your bet timing consistent when muilt tabling.

one of the biggest mistakes is that when you have a strong hand you make decision very fast thinking you gonna win for sure.. better take all the time available to think first for the best decision

Quickly. In online poker bluff associated with delayed time - not the best way to affect the opponent.
In the later stages-Yes. At an early virtually no. Only when allinn player want to do.
I think so.

Hello .After 8 years of playing poker ...some moves are designed fast at your mind.Any time with any hand ,your decisions is fast .For example if you got a 3 of a kind you know exactly what to do .Experience helps me is i want to value bet etc.Have a nice game and good luck to all!

quick..always quick....if tournament is close to final table, i might consider my moove for few more secs, but still quick

I try to sustain a pause of 15-20 seconds, regardless of my hand. I do not want to let my opponents calculate my game.

In my case I try to make the decisions before the timeout expires, usually a couple of seconds it reaches me

Depends. If I want to bluff I bet pretty much instantly to make them think I hit the flop/turn/river. Other times when I try to pretend that I am going to bluff I take a longer time to make them think I am considering whether to bluff or not. All in all though I don't really think they notice.

I tend to use up most of my allotted time except for times when my hand is really bad. (Example: 2-7 unsuited.) Then I make quick decisions and fold right away.

The solution depends on the situation. It takes time to count the outs, the chances of the bank, to evaluate the opponent's game. I prefer not to hurry and think it over. Often, I pull the time as much as possible if the tournament has reached the prize zone and it's important to "sit out" opponents to get into the prizes)

Depends , I don't have a standard time response. Sometimes some decisions need for sure more time to think about them.But the only think I take for granted is when I am out of position and I have flopped nothing I don't check instantly because for many online player this is considered to be the only online read! So I take some seconds and then I check.

I try not to make decisions very quickly! And I consider the chances and chances of opponents! I think haste there is nothing! It is necessary to play attentively!

know my play as soon as it's my bet. I have seen my card strength or weakness and know whatthe bet is. I have three basic choices, call , fold, or raise.

very quickly and I try to make the decisions before the timeout expires

Most of the times i act quickly but for cash games i try to take my time in the hands

I often make my decision very quickly, but when I am near to the bubble I take more time to play equal when I reached the final table. In many free ournaments you see players that go all in in many hands and I take all the time that I can .... I hate those type of players.

I don't like slow play. I am always playing very quick.

I normally take no more than a couple seconds to make my decisions. But lately since I've been working on my post game I'm trying to not just make Instinct decisions. Analyzing everything that is going on each street so now I'm taking a lot more time then I would usually

As a rule, I take the decision quickly. Well, when I want to confuse an opponent before the end time.

Watching which hand well sometimes I can make quick decisions...

It varies from hand to hand obviously. usually its "easier" and faster to make decision when you play against opponent you dont know much about. So you basically play just odds. When I have some history with player and some reads, it can take longer time to make decision cause I consider more things than just probability.

For me it depends on the decision itself. If it is for my tournament life then i will obviously take some time to make my decision, but if it is a case where im risking 1/3 or more of my chips on a decision that isnt +ev then i normally make the decision (which would be a fold in this instance) quite quickly, no need to drag out obvious decisions. A lot of variables would determine how long you take tbh, the player you're up against, how deep you are in the tournament (if it is a tournament), the blinds, your position, stack size, etc etc

10-20 seconds is Very good

it all depend on where I am in the tourney and if it for all my chips

‚well not to long 10 seconds juste sometise 30 seconds...

Always different, it all depends on the specific situation.

I usually try to periodically alternate the duration of a pause when playing at the same table. When there are a lot of tables - it does not really matter, because players change very often and make conclusions about the strength of the opponent's hand on this basis is meaningless.

For me it all depends on how many concurrent games I'm playing. In a best case scenario I like to be consistent (6 seconds) no matter the difficulty of the decision. I like to do this so one can't tell what I'm thinking

Why you would wait 20 seconds? Do you want to be consistent? tilt players? waste time so blinds get bigger and put short stacks in trouble?

For me it depends. Ideally I try to plan ahead and be consistent and action in 3-5 seconds but sometimes a card peels off that I am not expecting it or the villain does something out of ordinary which makes me to think more.

depends on your situation. It's complicated

Mostly 3-5 seconds. Usually I have decided my next move before my turn to move.

I always make decisions quickly if it's a simple tournament. In other cases, I can think.

I make decisions pretty quickly, but sometimes there are times when I need time for mathematical calculations

I am pretty quick except when I am almost going to get paid and I need a few more players to be out. Then I use all the time I have even if I am folding the hand.

it depends on the situation that was prevailing, but some times,

quickly:_)))
