Do you prefer fast-fold poker or regular tables?

[Nesehorn156]

I’ve tried both fast-fold formats and regular tables, and they feel very different. Fast-fold is great for volume, but sometimes it feels harder to get reads on players. Regular tables are slower, but you can pick up more information over time. I’m still not sure which I prefer overall. What do you usually play and why?

I’ve also tried both formats, and I feel the same in many ways. Fast-fold is great for playing more hands and keeping the action going, but it’s harder to build reads and adjust to specific opponents. I personally prefer regular tables, especially in tournaments, because I like having more time to think and gather information about players. It helps me make better decisions in the long run. That said, fast-fold can be useful when I just want to play more volume and practice certain spots.

Regular tables. I also prefer having more time and information during the session. Nothing against the convenience of fast-fold, it’s been useful many times when I was short on time, but considering the overall results, I’ll stick with regular tables.

Fast fold tables.

i have tried both and at both i am playing busting at the long term

 

[boxwaxer]

Fast all day for me. I got a need for speed.

 

[Silversurfer99]

i play only the fast version..regular is just too slow.

 

[successlaw]

I prefer to play fast tables and sometimes I add some normal ones too

 

[Station_Master]

Regular tables are softer, so better

 

[johnwat2]

Regular for me. I get timed out too much in the fast games.

Fast fold for me 100% less time hanging around for players to run the clock down and then fold hahaha

The only time I ever played the fast fold was 888 snap poker some of the very first few times I ever played. I prefer patience so I've never ever gone back and played that style.

Fast-paced poker allows you to make profits faster, but also lose faster if you play incorrectly. Whereas at regular tables, I'm better at picking up on players' tendencies.

I like fast fold tables. Especially in low budget games

Fast fold poker is great when you have very little time to play or you don't know when you'll have to stop playing because you'll have sth else to do soon or maybe sleep or it's good when you are on the go outside

I prefer regular tables. The slower pace helps me observe opponents better and make more informed decisions. Fast-fold is fun, but I feel like I miss a lot of important information.

 

[moraeskvmi]

I prefer fast fold

The level of players is important relative to me, but if you come across a good player on the regular table, then of course you play where there is more profit

Fast-fold is fun for the adrenaline, but it's a trap for me. I’ve realised that whether I play fast or slow, I always find a way to be the table's resident short stack by the time we hit the final table. 🤷‍♂️ Because of that, I’ve mostly switched to playing Turbos. If I’m going to be fighting for my life with 10BBs in the middle phase, I might as well get it over with quickly!

On regular tables, it is true that you can get reads on your opponents, but the same applies vice versa.
On fast fold tables it is harder to get reads on your opponents,
but the same applies vice versa here also,
Depending on your method of play (with more selective hands) it could be more advantageous to play on fast fold tables.

regular tables

When i am well rested and at the beginning of my session, i can go FFWD too. Later however i prefer regular, as it is hard to keep up for long time
