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

[Fastone2]

I go by Fastone2... As a result, I go really fast.... I can better read a player that way, by his reactions.....

I usually play pretty quickly having a decent idea of what I'd do ahead of time should they make the play they do. When I'm put in an unexpected situation I tend to take my time. Also when I can't quite decide the pot sizing. But I always wonder what effect the time to make the decision has on the opponents thought process. Anyone have a good read on this?

 

[Stepgov]

Always differently. 2 - 20 seconds.

I take almost all the tournaments or cash games decisions very quickly, why should I think long if the cards are in front of you and such combination or passes or not, sometimes I can think 5-10 seconds

 

[MikeCarasone]

I make my decisions very quickly. Almost to a fault. I'm in the process of forcing myself to analyze things twice so I'm not rushing things without enough time to think. Also, I'm trying to make my decision time appear random and not consistent so I do not give off any timing tells or info.

I like to play according to how my opponents are playing in a table like style. And then I try to stand out, and be "The One," like in Matrix.

 

[Samsonate]

My descision is taken instantly, but i try to take me a few seconds every time, just to be less readable for my opponent

 

[Djmickre]

Usually very quickly. But not every hand.

 

[Mini1380]

I like to stick with my gut choice if I think there is something up and should fold a really good hand. I usually do. It's not always the right choice by I feel a good fold is better than a bad bet

 

[celo945]

Between 10-15 seconds, it depends on the type of hand and what type of strategy to apply

 

[dominiq]

Usually few seconds, but sometimes on big pots I have to think if the opponent have a good card or is only bluffing me.

 

[lezhnindima]

Average 5 seconds

 

[PogHuk]

I'm in a hurry, think long do not like. Already when the cards are dealt, I decide I will raise, call or fold. Therefore, when when it comes to me I know the solution. What I wanted to add. I was enraged players, who think very long and decide at the end of the allotted time. What is this show? In live poker it is clear, players see each other, study the behavior, facial expressions. And online slow makes no sense!

 

[MattRyder]

Usually under a second.

 

[SydTheCat]

I have a bad habit of reacting too quickly before thinking it out. Usually 5 sec at most

Of course you need to do it as fast as you can. If this is a hard decision, you can activate a time bank. But you must understand, that you can,t think about that even for few minutes.

 

[chicopaw]

The first decision is usually the correct one
but snap calling usually doesnt work

 

[Panda19977]

Depend on the situation, other players and my hands

A second

time

i would say it depends on how far you are ...if you would be 10 place and the final table would be 1 place away you would take more time i think

 

[speper]

I take my reading after the first second, but I take the time to play and hit the lock, about 10 seconds to 15 seconds

 

[Alexander Rubcov]

I make a quick decision.Sometimes this is a problem

 

[CowboyStomp]

i make quick decisions but I don't always click right away.

Sometimes I click quickly when I flop the nuts also.

The key is to mix it up.

 

[wizz99]

I like to play quickly and usually right or wrong thats the way I always play.

I don't take much time to make decisions online. There are moments in the game where I have to use my time bank because I am trying to piece together my opponents hand range.
