How Long Do You Take to Make Your Decisions? (Online)

[Japoneiss]

Devemos prestar atenção à gestão de banco de tempo. No início dos torneios, não perco tempo em decisões fáceis, especialmente em folds, muitos jogadores valorizam folds para representar uma mão, e no futuro eles acabam desperdiçando valioso time bank em estágios posteriores do torneio, onde as decisões se tornam mais difícil.

A few seconds thats where i have to slow down maybe and think a little more to make a better decision. specailly when big money its infront of the line

 

[Japoneiss]

We should pay attention to time bank management. At the beginning of the games, there is no time for games, especially in folds, many players value folds to represent a hand, and in the future they end up wasting valuable time bank in later stages of the tournament where decisions become more difficult.

 

[makisaa]

I usually need a few seconds and when the situation is more difficult a few more!

 

[ritmos]

To be, or not to be: that is the question!

I look, I estimate, I decide - no more than a couple of moments.
But, sometimes, I can specially draw time out of harm.

I guess this would depend on a few factors. Early on I'm usually pretty quick with my decisions. Also if it's more than just heads up I'll take a tad bit longer. Later in the tourney I'll take a lil longer as well. But usually never hit my time bank.

3-5-10 seconds and it all depends on the situation in the game .

If the player constantly thinks for a long time, and then makes a big bet, then it can be both a value-bet and a bluff. And if we notice that after long meditations, so much he puts mostly with a bluff, then we can more often open it using this temporary hint.

For me it depends on which poker phase I am.
In the beginning and in the middle I leave myself only a few seconds, especially when I tend to fold.
At the end of an MTT at Finaltisch I try to give me ca. 20 seconds.

This is correct, but you can sometimes "stolen" a little, do not play monotonously for an opponent, make him think himself why you change time intervals. Do not always play the same.

 

[John Bor]

very quickly, 5 to 10 seconds

 

[blanktheman]

I've played enough poker to assess the situation and play accordingly, roughly about a second or 2. If i'm late in a tournament or near the bubble, i'll take about 5-7 seconds to play because one mistake could cost you.

 

[poketcardz]

fast i hate ppl who take for ever dont know what to do

 

[Senneville]

Depends on my hands and position but usualy when a player take times to call its because he have nothing and try to bluff you. Snap call and raise mean a lot in net session. For me I try to take the same time for any hand. About half the tine.

 

[bartleby]

I normally take the decision right away, maybe 5-10 sec. of thinking but I should probably invest more time in the decision-making because you can take so much more information into account but when you have more tables open, you tend to not think all the information through. I must say I am also not using a HUD right now, I would say people with HUD use more information and time for the decision.

 

[kapos77]

I quickly make a decision basically)

 

[igox97]

I often make decisions very fast, but sometimes i act like i am thinking what to do. Only when i see high raises or all in it takes me more time.

 

[Dedman666]

It all depends on who is in the pot with me and the stack I have really. Most times I can decide quickly

 

[catadur]

think about 3-5 sec before make decision

 

[Ly4nik]

It all depends on the situation. But an average of 5-8 seconds.

 

[Alphamuddle]

I make my decisions very quickly, almost instantly unless of course the bubble is near and I need a couple of players to get knocked out before me.
I really hate it when people take forever in every single decision they make, it's really annoying.

 

[enolan]

Cash\Zoom - 4 seconds with intermittent (rare) tanking. Speed is good.
S&G - 4-10 seconds with intermittent (no so rare) tanking. Speed a bigger factor .. sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
MTT - Early (fast 1-2sec .. often pre-click the Fold option) Middle (4-10secs, tank if required) Late (quick as possible, I have no interest in slowing the game down)

 

[jimmy andres]

Hello my decision time for hands at the start of the tournament varies if I'm going to make a bluff, or if I have a very strong hand and I want to get more chips to my opponents it's not very long the time I take more or less 7 to 15 seconds.

 

[HennieP]

I only play online as there are no casinos in my immediate area. So for online play I'd say on average about 2 seconds. If I face a really tricky call decision though it can run up to whatever the timer limit is.

 

[WOLF55555]

In most cases, is enough for me 2-3 seconds to make the decision. If a complex distribution, then 5-10 seconds.

Time cant be recovered

My fine poker playing colleagues online gaming is amusing at most of us are confident in our decisions to fold or call upon seeing our hands. I would make my play as best as I thought , some guys plat the time game to upset other players on the table which can make you restless, however just play to the best of your ability 3 or 4 or 5 seconds is more than enough time. it is not rocket science:icon_sant
