Message: [QUOTE="sunirico, post: 3569829, member: 131055"] Patience! Isn't that the zen we try to achieve in poker? If stalling upsets you, makes you frustrated, angry or gets you to tilt, then I SHOULD exploit that edge to my advantage. You WILL make a mistake. That said I do think there are benefits to stalling, depending on your stack size. When we come to the bubble you either have a large stack, which you should use aggressively to exploit the min cash stacks. With a small stack you are better of seeing as few hands as possible, giving players on the other tables a chance to make mistakes and bust out before you. At least getting to ITM, especially if you came in via a sat, will greatly improve your bottom line. My advice is to just accept the fact that we all have the same amount of time. That includes time per hand, disconnection time and a timebank. If they can help you improve your standings then you SHOULD use them. At least use your timebank at some point before you're done. It is not unfair since we all get the same time. It could be argued that we do not have enough time, if you have ever played on a bad connection experiencing unwanted time-outs or frequent disconnections you know what I am talking about. In these situations, in my experience, it is best to just go all-in pre-flop and take your chances which trumps getting a forced sit-out on the turn to loose the hand. Then of course haters would complain that you play bingo and start a similar thread to whine about that. Luckily we don't play poker to keep others on our table happy, we take advantage of ALL our opportunities and we play to win. Besides what are you complaining about 10 secs extra per hand, there is no shuffling, waiting for players to post antes, dealing each hand, burning cards or counting chips. You will still play way more hands per hour online than you could ever do playing live, even one tabling. So chillax, use the extra time to find reads on your opponents or calculate your odds. Most importantly, avoid getting emotional and don't give away any sign that it is upsetting you by complaining in chat, it's NOT to your advantage. [/QUOTE]
