Message: [QUOTE="Phoenix Wright, post: 5743572, member: 419963"] Yes, generally speaking this is true. This is why observation is important. If I notice a certain player calling super quick, but then take oddly long on a specific decision, then I take a mental note of that situation and the result (ideal if they reach showdown). I want to see if they had a good hand or not. Some players are weaker when they take longer, but some players are tricky and delay intentionally as acting in a reverse-psychology fashion. Have to figure out which players are "actors" and which ones are doing it while unaware. +1 I try to take about the same amount of time for each hand. This indicates nothing to an opponent if you always take the same amount of time; it only stands out when you vary from what is "normal" for you. I make quick decisions too, but usually not instantly. I give myself a little "barrier" to disguise the times I really do want to think a bit or hesitate some. What you are describing sounds like you only play poker online. Online is much faster paced than live games are. Especially with check-fold options online or being able to "call any" or "all-in" clicked before the action gets to you. These options also speed up the game a bit, so yeah online I find less time needed to consider. Another thought to mention is that live has more information with physical tells, table chatter and other things online does not have. For this reason, live games give you more things to consider and evaluate on your decisions at the poker table. For online, you can usually just click options in advance and instantly take the desired action (like ticking "fold" before the action reaches you to instantly fold when it is your turn to act).
