Well , it depends on the game and the stage of the blinds/my stack . If it's the premier league I always need some time on every hand to think my next move ;) haha .

Seriously , If it's the early stages of a tournament , I make the decisions at once , later with the stack low and the blinds/antes up I find difficulties so I need more time , or should I say the time I have is not enough many times and I take . But now I am searching for some ways to improve my gameplay so as to need less time at the later stages .

Usually I need 3-5 seconds, but there are cases that time is not enough.

My decisions in ring games are almost immediate . In a multi table tourney I will take my time if the bubble ( or pay jump increase ) is near . With a small , even average stack ,I often need time to watch the actions of the short stacks on other tables . Also , every blind and ante may count , and stalling can save one or two at a crucial time . If its hand for hand play I proceed at a normal pace .

Before each raise I make the decision to call or raise or allin if he bet or flat cal etc. Always make my decision of my hand before bet raise or call.

I generally move quickly, but, then again, I try not to be real consistent, if you know what I mean.

This is one of those topics that can tilt people very easily, I can usually make all of my preflop decisions fairly quickly. I may take slightly longer if it is late in a MTT where I am trying to take ICM into consideration, This is not 1 of my strongest areas as I have just recently switched to a MTT player. I always quickly attempt to calculate pot odds if I have a drawing hand or if I think I might be up against a draw. Even some of my most difficult decisions are easily made in the time allowed, the only time I ever have a time issue is if I am mult-tabling and I am getting myself a cup of coffee. LOL:angel:

The longest I have ever taken was about 45 seconds that was when I was looking at odds of cards beating me and risk of calling in a bigger tourney However on a live table was 3 minutes lol ended up catching my straight flush on the river as well for the win :)

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?
I do it because I want to avoid hasty decisions. And once again think about what the other may have for a hand.
And use the time to become cooler and not to tilt.

Usually I make a decision quickly, but sometimes there are situations when you need to sustain a pause, for example when I limp with a strong hand

I do the same. First quickly and then by circumstance.

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 think that it is correct not to adapt the time of reflection to the strength of the hand.

I generally make a decision within 10 seconds, but there are certain circumstances like being on the bubble with pocket 10's and someone is raising you all in after the flop (queen deuce 9) I would most likely use the time bank and really think it through. Mostly though within 10 seconds

It depends on the situation. In an all-in, I think about longer times whether I call and think about the bet behavior of the opponent. But average 5-10 sec.

I try not to make too fast raise on the flop and not make too fast 3-bets. The standard time interval is 5-10 seconds before each decision. In online poker nobody cares if you take a few extra seconds.

I usually make quick decisions, but as in all cases, there are situations where we should take a few seconds to think and clarify ideas.

Are you sure? I think a few extra seconds are very important sometimes..

I agree, there is a lot of MTT player who does not notice anything.

A player who plays several tables is unlikely to notice a delay in time. If a HUD program is installed, the players are mostly based on it. In case the opponent plays 1 table - then the delay will be visible, he can get some information from this.
