What do you think of players who spend all their time on each hand? First of all, I understand that you have the right to use all your time whenever you want. But come on, are you going to dedicate as much time as possible to each hand? Even with bad hands. Here are some that do it even in free tournaments or xd league games. Personally, it can be a bit annoying, especially if it's a free tournament. I'm referring to players who run out all their time each time before they see the flop, only to fold 80 percent of the time

Each player can use their time as they wish, but it's a bit annoying when they use up their entire time bank to make a normal decision. Sometimes those players are like that.

There are players like that. I know some. They're strange people.
I think they do it because that's all they can do. Their lack of skill prevents them from playing well, so they do what they can, spending as much time as possible on each hand. It's not against the rules, it's just that players are different, people are different, and often people have their own complexes or emotional traumas, and as a result, we see what we see.

I believe some players use all their available time to tilt on their birthday. There are situations where it's understandable to use all the available time, such as when the prize money is approaching.

There are different situations. Different players play in different conditions. For example, I play 4-6 tables at the same time. Sometimes I just need time to make my move. But stalling to annoy others is unacceptable.

It's absolutely pathetic in my opinion. Totally spoils the game for me.

Honestly, I understand that every player has the right to use their time — that’s part of the game. But when someone wastes the full time on every hand, especially preflop, and then folds most of the time, it becomes really annoying. In paid tournaments it can sometimes be justified, but in freerolls or league games it just kills the fun and slows everything down for no real reason. In the end, these players are usually either distracted or overthinking, and most of the time they’re not a real threat at the table.

Like already mentioned, a player's time is theirs to use as they wish. Many players are on multiple tables making multiple decisions and not all of them are simple. In my case sometimes I am falling asleep while playing, so I will be running out of my time bank, folding, sitting out, sitting back in, playing a couple of hands before falling asleep again. You just never know what's going on with the player you are getting frustrated with. Just don't bother with it and occupy your time with something else, like a second table or watch/read something.

I think it’s ok, we are all in it for the long haul anyways.. I use it sometimes to put people on tilt and act crazy.. sometimes it works! I agree it can be draining however.

Ask @Peteski84

who likes to take full timebank in the cc 888 games and other free games on every decision and occasion possible before 99% folding. What i think about such players? Hmm i better dont state my honest opinion cause this could get me banned.

If someone plays multiple tables then its reasonable if its not all the time.

I get your point. Everyone has the right to use their full time bank, but when someone tanks on almost every single hand, especially in freerolls or low-stakes games, it really slows the game down for no good reason.

I understand taking extra time in big spots or tough decisions, but using all the time just to fold preflop most of the time feels unnecessary. It’s more annoying than strategic. In my opinion, time banks should be for real decisions, not for stalling or multitabling without paying attention to the table.

I agree. You just have to accept it

Entiendo tu punto. Todos tienen derecho a usar su bankroll a tiempo completo, pero cuando alguien pierde casi todas las manos, sobre todo en freerolls o partidas de bajo riesgo, el juego se ralentiza sin motivo aparente.

Entiendo que se tome tiempo extra en momentos importantes o decisiones difíciles, pero usar todo el tiempo solo para retirarse preflop la mayoría de las veces parece innecesario. Es más molesto que estratégico. En mi opinión, los bancos de tiempo deberían ser para decisiones reales, no para perder el tiempo o jugar en varias mesas sin prestar atención a la mesa.
I think the same way, what's the point of dedicating time to each hand? When you know you have bad hands, the game drags on non-stop for no reason.

Pregúntale a [USUARIO=1006698]@Peteski84[/USUARIO]

¿A quién le gusta apostar todo su tiempo en los juegos de CC 888 y otros juegos gratuitos en cada decisión y ocasión posible antes de que el 99% se retire? ¿Qué opino de estos jugadores? Mmm, mejor no opino sinceramente porque podrían banearme.

Si alguien juega en varias mesas, entonces es razonable que no lo haga todo el tiempo.
Haha. Yes, sometimes it's better not to say anything out of respect, although it's very annoying.

Creo que está bien, al fin y al cabo, todos estamos en esto a largo plazo. A veces lo uso para poner a la gente de mal humor y que se comporten como locos... ¡y a veces funciona! Estoy de acuerdo en que puede ser agotador, sin embargo.
I think it's silly for someone to do it just to put people in a bad mood. Anyway. Regards.

You just have to tolerate it mate. There are many reasons for it. It's all part of the game.
If you find it frustrating, then I'm half way there. My prodding is hitting is mark.

I think it's absurd when people intentionally do that in a private forum game that's supposed to be oh I don't know fun and friendly?..

..... if you think that's a way to treat fellow forum members I dunno what to tell you....,

no one wants to sit and wait for one player every hand for no good reason, just saying👍

There are players who do this deliberately, and in my opinion, it is simply disrespectful. I have encountered several instances where a player, a member of our community, deliberately stalled for time while continuously using emoticons, and it was evident that he did so intentionally to annoy others. Such players do not deserve to be members of the Platinum Club.

Solo tienes que tolerarlo, amigo. Hay muchas razones para ello. Todo es parte del juego.
Si te resulta frustrante, ya estoy a medio camino. Mi insistencia está dando en el blanco.
It seems like you have a lot of time to waste, to do it on every hand every time in a free tournament. If wasting time is your best strategy to try to annoy other players and thus gain an advantage. You'd better dedicate yourself to something else. salutes

Estoy de acuerdo contigo. No entiendo ni siquiera porque perder tanto tiempo en un torneo gratis
