Depends on what you're playing but id assume most are multi-tabling. This happens in cash games where a person can be making up to 8 decisions within 5 seconds. I multy mtt's so i guess it happens there too.
I hope you're not the type to get all huffy about it? not that i mind but its a huge tell and sure enough the people griping are not in the right mind frame and out soon.
So relax and listen to a podcast. 2+2 podcast is pretty good.

Besides the waiting scenairioon Gutshot, how is the site overall? Just curious since I'm considering signing up and using the BRM bonus. Really still trying to search out a site that I can feel safe making deposits since I never received my BR from FT. Not whinning about losing a couple hundred bucks, but for the most part I wI won the earnings playing low $ SnG's. Anyway a reply concerning Gutshot would be appreciated. Good Luck to All!

For an unknown reason some players waist always the time. Always. I can understand that if you are playing 12 tables and using soft assistance SOMETIMES waist time. But... people who are playing 2 tables?!!! Instant ban in the 3rd hand he does, imo.

I guess its strategy. You get so tired you will if you are only playing one table, that you will have tendency to start doing crazy things during game. You test a big raise or even an all in to see if they take the same amount of time to react and then you will start loosing chips and blaming all of them for your bad game and lack of strategy. At least, this is what they want to happen. One can read in lots of books that you should go against majority when on a table: if they play tight you should play loose, if they are loose then sit back and wait for monsters to come. Is it possible to apply this same rule to what concerns to time? I don’t know. If you start acting faster, you turn yourself more easy to read to your opponents, and you don’t want that to happen. Play several tables when you go back there, this way you will have more activity.
