You Can't Rush The Progress of a Tourney

I've noticed that 90% per of time people are either holding up the table to be a prick on purpose, or are playing multiple games. Both are very annoying.

I've noticed over time that players who complain or make chat comments fussing for other players to hurry up, usually donk out early in the tourney. It seems that the number one rule for successful tourney action is "BE PATIENT". Does this make sense?

While you can't rush a tournament, the less hands you see the less chances you have to play. Stands to reason. This is my biggest gripe with tankers/ time wasters. It's kinda rude in my opinion. If you have a legit decision, take your time, but if it's every hand, i'll complain...

this post seems to be about something that we all see but don't ever talk about... except of course when the one dragging down the action starts getting cursed and smart talked... I like it when a player that runs down his clock every time gets a ugly remark or two at the table

Yep, those rude time wasters should be disqualified and banned from future tourneys... just sayin'

In playing online poker for a long time, it is almost a certain fact, the biggest and easiest tell of the worst player you can run across, and almost certainly one who is on the bottom of the poker pack in terms of skill and success, is the player who uses his clock every hand throughout a tournament.

Personally I think when the money bubble is approaching there is nothing wrong with riding the clock...it can be frustrating at times but its a part of the game and you just gotta deal with it

patience is quite important if you want to make it to cash in a tournament. First off no one wins the tournament in the fist few hours but, you need to manage your chips and not miss to many key opportunities to swoop some big pots. If your able to stack up early it's best to tighten up until later levels and always go with your instinct i had so many situation where i had a feeling i know what that guys has and i talk my self into calling trying to keep my chip stack up and then the tilt spiral seem to make the tourney go bad unless I can keep my cool or take a walk to keep my head into the game.

That is totally true. I agree with this completely and that is a great point. Great way to make money man!

thats is true patience is the key you have to pick your spots to make good plays not just pick the cards that are of better value pre flop.
