Message: [QUOTE="xOneCoolHandx, post: 5878260, member: 143461"] Everyone has an allotted amount of time to act. Some people play a lot of tables and use max time all the time and other times they act fairly quickly. Personally, I play very few tables at the same time but I always take extra time to act before taking any action, just like I would do in a regular live game. This is for some very valid reasons: First, I take a certain amount of time almost everytime because I don't want observant players to pick up timing tells on me (although, I do like to play games with that sometimes and give off reverse tells...of course, that only works with observant players). While there are a lot of players out there multi-tabling making it difficult to pick up timing tells on them, there still are some that can be spotted. So, I like to limit the tells that players may be able to pick up on me. Another part of this is because while most of the time, you don't have a big decision to make, there are times that you will, whether it is to make a big bluff, a big call or whatever, and you have to take some extra time to think about it. Since I already have that extra time built in, it just seems like I am acting normally. The other reason is that some sites (Stars in particular because they blatantly state that they do this) run part of their RNG algorithm based on the time that players act in a hand. I don't know if the extra time I take works for or against me (lately it's been against me, but acting quicker and taking a bit longer hasn't changed that either...lol) so I feel like if I stay consistent, the shuffle should stay consistent too. I'm sure that others have valid (or invalid) reasons for taking a long time to act. So let them act how they want and focus on your own game. :icon_sant [/QUOTE]
