It is a game of patience. Getting irritated over an agreed time to respond is senseless. Some feel it is a strategy to wait, people multi-table and in certain situations, you need that time to evaluate the hand.

If it is that distracting, find the site with shortest time to call. Live tournaments have addressed that in different ways. Perhaps you can lobby for different approach for on-line.

I love a hyper tournament with quick decision making.
 
In my opinion, the optimal time for reflection and decision-making is 30 seconds. I usually play 3-4 tables at a time, so I need time to think about my actions and make decisions.
 
My thought process goes: Instantaneous preflop; Flop one second to double-check players in and stack; Turn, When it hits I know and river as well.
Now if theres a player that is all-in all the time, i will watch the clock tick every time he does it.

To think about the hand that was, i already forgot what i had before i get the next hand.

30 seconds is only optimal if you include timewasting ...
 
I think 20 seconds, then time bank activates is reasonable imo. I agree it can be not fun when people tank till the last second before their time banks kicks in, only to fold. Then keep doing this repeatedly every hand, but that is their choice to use all the time they are giving by the poker rooms.

I personally would like more time on betonline/sportsbetting. They only give you about 10 seconds or less it seems like.
 
Poker isn't about speed but about making the right decision. If you play in deep stacks tournaments you will always need time to make the right decisions since the game has a lots of variables. The fastest decision is always the worst. Good luck to you!

I also believe in 15 seconds less time and what is necessary. After a while they seem to believe that the computer will improve the cards and they run and waste their time. It's not chess and poker with caution and elegance then yes.
 
There is a need for time in this game, for making the decisions. All the situations are not the same, so you cannot put a time line for every case. I think the times provided are ok!
 
depending on the hand being played and the circumstances in which it must be decided.
it can be more or less
 
Good question! And start with the limited time and then, as the game progresses, more time is also added to the time bank. Is a decision closer to the final table, for example, more important than a decision closer to the start?
 
Hello friend, I believe that some moves are very complex for our brain and we have to digest the information given to decide our actions, I believe that 60 seconds is good size and with renewal in the breaks. Good luck 🙂
 
This is part of the game with the goal of throwing the player off balance.
