super slow game, trap play

[HesseJam]

yesterday I played a bubble through four limits (20 minutes). Chips went all around the table. Most of the time the stacks were more than less even. It was hard not to lose patience and starting to get trigger happy. Bubble burst when somebody called with K5 off.

It's not that unusual for everyone to still be playing at level 3.

If you don't like the pace of the games, try different games on different sites until you get some you like. There are too many poker sites on the net to waste time playing somewhere where you don't like the structure.

If you felt it was time to make a stand here with KQs, go all in preflop (although I think you could have waited til level 4).

On the flop, I think you should check or go all in when it is checked to you (depending upon your read of the SB). A min-bet wouldn't help here, unless you want to min-bet/fold, which is never fun.

edited because you can't check/fold the flop...

Is tigerite correct?

Yes. Based on the OP's statements, there is no way that he (the OP) is currently playing SNGs well, or probably any poker for that matter.

There is probably a 0.00% chance you are a winning poker player.

If you can't stand these "slow" games, I'd love to see you play $50s, $100s, or, gasp!, maybe even B&M tournaments.
