the ZZZZZ factor

[Chah Ngo]

Whenever I see a player online that feels the need to type ZZZZZ at the slightest delay, I assume impatience. This leads me to believe that the "Z" typing player is not that good. Does anyone have an opinion on the snorers?

[Patriarch]

Generally thrill-seekers who want to do some quick fire gambling, they will probably bluff too much, and play bad cards.

[TripleH68]

Or they are like me, folding a bunch of junk and waiting for good starters. Waiting through slow play.

Actually, I've never seen someone do it at the "slightest delay". Usually it's reserved for repeat offenders who cause lengthy delays every hand.

[submariner]

This is what I see most too. And tho I never do it, when someone else does, I am usually feeling the same way.

[Wake up CALL]

I always ask them if they are late for an appointment? Why else would you care if another player took 15 seconds to act? In a B&M you might wait for 3 or 4 minutes on a regular basis.

when someone does it to me i start taking a long time on purpose.

not every hand, but once in a while

[ThaSaltCracka]

just ignore them, unless they do it to you.

[cnfuzzd]

if you are playing 15-30, your read is probably overly exagerated. If you are playing small stakes, you are probably drawing the right conclusion from the wrong "tell" If you play at micros, someones two year old just likes the z button.

They're probably not playing enough games.

It gets annoying when one of those "pause to make it look like I have a huge hand" guys takes 15 seconds on 2 consecutive rounds, since it messes up my rhythm, but I've never typed ZZZZZ.

The funny thing is that if it messes me up at all, it'll affect another game and not the one that the delay is coming from.
