Poll: timebank hollywooding

Poll: Timebank hollywooding, do you ever?
(Vote): Almost always, because I'm afraid of giving away timing tells
(Vote): Never
(Vote): Sometimes fold after some TIME to disguise my failed bluff
(Vote): Preflop always time down a little before I 5bet shovel my AA/KK
(Vote): Only against other LPers because I think they're always bluffing me!
(Vote): I have a system where I always time down exactly 3 seconds whenever the pot is >= 25bb


Do you ever use your timebank to hollywood (a little) while you actually already know that you're going to fold/call/raise/shove/whatever?

I've added the "i have a system" option because I've been thinking about that a lot, but I'm just to lazy+forgetful to actually do that

I always timebank hollywood when i have the nuts and get shoved on

lol shit how do I add an option to the poll

to the people that don't want their hand to look like air: you really prefer people thinking you fold big hands over people thinking you (3bet) bluff some of the time? (preflop 3bet/4bet is a spot I see this in a LOT)

Whenever there are actions left for my opponent to take in the hand I make an effort not to give away timing tells. If Im folding or villain is allready all-in I dont pretend to think about what to do.

Honestly, sometimes I timebank shove with AA PF.

I dont think you should ever rush big decisions. Make them wait a bit

this
its funny how people snap shove AK pf but almost always timebank with AA XD

i timebank call preflop with AA

I hate it when people timebank after having their 4bet shoved on, whatever they do. It's so annoying.

Timebanking is standard, real players hit standby on their cable modem

I need to force myself to timebank not to make retarded spastic decisions all over the place. I still do though -.-

hmmm
yeah?
lol wtf
you MUST do it

Its just a must to both disguise hands and to protect hands that require thought.

ya, i used to do this a long time ago. Then a realized if i was ever doing it for value i would be snap calling. So now I snap fold when someone soul pwns me.

I sorta randomize my timings. Usually In big pots I don't insta do anything. Although vs some people insta shoving bluffs helps a lot ;D

Very effective vs fish I find

i have no problem with balancing your timing on plays.


one thing that pisses me off is regs timebank folding to 5bet shoves. i might be wrong on this but when you 4bet arnt you always aware of how you are reacting to a 5bet? you either insta fold because everyone knows you were 4bet bluffing or you snap cuz you 4bet with a value hand that you think is ahead of villians 5bet shoving range.

if you are 4betting value hands then folding that is fucking awful.

I probably should timebank balance more. Sometimes I think about a decision, then realize that I've already narrowed my range for villain by thinking, and I have to fold, but if I were more balanced then that wouldn't be such a concern.

fuck that shit think faster

usually

the problem with balancing is a lot of the time villain's isn't gonna know you're balancing, so you might as well just bank only when your percieved range being narrower benefits you.

i timebank / make bets / calls because i just play slow, its my standard way of playing

fucking this

Also I can't really timebank anything when I'm playing 16+ 6max tables, so I just act fast on everything.

i think like 95% of the time you really don't need to think more than 5-6 sec on a hand. Also if you multitable 8+ those 5-6 sec pauses tend to increase and create semi-random intervals.

basically just don't make habits like snap-calling/raising with monsters or delaying marginal hands and you should do fine.

I don't understand, a lot of the time I timebank or nearly timebank due to thinking before I bet for thin value but apparently timebanking makes my perceived range more narrow..? What are people's general assumptions when they see a slow bet

'cut down tables idiot'

i timebank when i stretch my legs or drink or whatever, good luck reading peoples souls,
fake timebank thinking when you arent folding anyway is odd

how often do u timebank to stretch your legs during a big hand tho

meh i time bank fold some times just to make people sweat. It's the little things you gotta enjoy in poker.

I don't have time to timebank playing 24+ tables

I thought multitabling past 12 tables was bad?
