When making bets before or after the flop online, do you use preset buttons, customized buttons or enter your own number? Do you treat a bet differently if someone obviously took the time to enter it compared to clicking a button?
 
Preset buttons are a good thing and I use them, but I often have to push the slider to play the stakes I want.
 
I don't use the button for sizes in bets other than minimum, 1/2, or pot. Because the longer you think about the size, the fewer mistakes there will be in the hands. And other players will think your hand is better than it really is.
 
I mostly just use my personally generated pre-set betting scales. It makes life much easier and faster.
 
Almost always I use my customized buttons postflop , I use 33% , 48% , 66% , Pot , sometimes I change those numbers based on the circumstance!

Pre flop I keep things simple as for the pre flop open raise sizes , I open 2.5x-3x when the stacks are super deep 100+bbs and after that I don't bother much with the 2.1x or 2.2x I min raise the unopened flop.

In cash games I open raise everything 2.5x and post flop I have almost the same bets and sometimes some overbets.
 
the truth so far I could not get used to the buttons I know they would be easy dough because I would not have to be looking for many things and I would do it quickly and have more time to make a decision
 
I'm pretty lazy preset is easy. Have used the slider and typed bet.You wonder if I bet 777 do I got a set?
 
Those Buttons are really convenient especially since they can be customized, most of the time i use them 😉
 
I use buttons customized by myself but that doesn't mean I don't use a different bet size in a particular situation
 
I recently set my own percents and I really like it. The presets just dont match to the way I like to bet. I seem to save a few blinds in the long run.
 
Most of time I use the preset buttons. The difference is I customize the bet percentages so that I get an idea of what I like to bet.

A few times I like to type in the bet just because I prefer the bet more rounder than an odd number.
 
Most of the time I'm following standard bet sizing if I'm RFI betting post-flop. The only time I manually enter a number is when I'm 3 or 4 betting, taking into account the amount of the villain's bet and how many others are currently in the pot.
 
I use preset buttons because its easier. I believe that sizes don’t hace to be precise at a cent level, just the order of magnitude. I can easily have a 70% size for big bets, 50% for medium bets and 35% for small bets.
I think that if you take your time to bet, it gives the impression that you are thinking more about the hand, and a bet seems more “risk calculated” if you take yout time, as opposed to bet quickly in 5 seconds with the preset button. What do you guys think about this?
 
I use preset buttons to find out 25% of pot for example but then manually trim my bet to exact value I want to bet. That way I don't misclick my bet too big/low by accident.
 
it just depends, sometimes i'll use the presets but sometimes to represent strength i'll use a mixture of more random numbers
 
Most often I use preset buttons. Very rarely I enter the value myself.
 
I pre-configure my bet sizes on the buttons, as for the fact that someone spent time entering the bet manually, I respect this.
 
I use personalized bet sizes on the desktop App. Unfortunately, Pokerstars mobile application doesn't allow to configure personalized button for bet sizes :/
