Online play and speed

I totally understand that online play is faster than playing in a brick-and-mortar casino considering the computerized dealing, no actual chips to count, etc... but what is the deal with players sticking statements like "Hurry up" and "Zzzzz" in chat when playing. Depending on the site, most of them have a specific period of time: 30 secs, 20 secs, whatever. Is our society so ADD that we can't wait a few seconds for someone to check, raise, or fold? How would they act in a live game?

Just curious if anyone else is as frustrated with this as me...or am I just a softie? Just to clarify, the statements are not normally even directed to me, but to someone else at the table, but I still think it is rude.



:banghead:

Well tbh, the ones that are worried about time and making money are the ones multi-tabling, and don't have the time to say those things in the chat box....so it's most likely impatient people, or ones that are so used to the speed factor then when it slows down just a bit they get thrown off..

so it doesn't bother me unless they do it in consecutive hands....

i rarely pay attn to the hurry up crowd other than to deliberately slow down for them an hopefully put em on tilt espec if i have a big hand
