How do you feel about fast and slow play at the table. I find I do both . If I'm playing close to button I tend to play a little faster to try and gather more chips before everyone starts their all in frenzy . If I'm smaller I try and slow down to make the money . At the beginning of the game I play as fast as possible to try and see lots of hands while blinds are low. Later I tend to play medium speed .I find it all depends on chip stack and blind level and how far till the next money level

Faster is good

I think that the answer is different when it comes to playing online vs face to face. When you are online and its fairly easy to see how people play according to the way they bet. The more hands seen the better understanding of how they play. So faster is better online. If I am face to face, I like a steady medium to slow pace. It gives better chance that you can learn another's game strategy.

I hate slow players online. I came to play not to wait for some slowpoke.

Adapt to every situation

I play both as well, and like you, I like to see lots of hand in the beginning. Though, I try to adapt my play to the opponent's style of play, versus blind or stack size, because I find that to be the most important variant during the hand/game...

I like to play slow tournaments. A quick tournament is a bingo. Like a roulette wheel.

I agree most time but if it's a big jump in pay I think it's better to let someone else go out by timing out then to play fast. Also if I'm a huge chip leader I will sometimes play slow especially in a fast blind structure.

I like to vary my speeds just in case someone has paid attention enough to get a read on you..happens more in higher stakes than micros

I prefer slow play, but i found it's not a good strategy at late stage or final table.
The more cards show on table have more variances.

I pick and choose my spots. Sometimes if not every rotation I'll try to steal the blinds in a decent position. Other than that I'll play conservative in late positions.
