is 7s too long to act preflop? - Page 4 - Poker Card Room

I agree with mars if some super nit or reg is taking this long I'm probably gonna say something eventually but if its a fish I'm happy for them to be at the table.

It depends on where your winnings are coming from. If you're playing with 7 people you can't beat and 1 person you can, you want - need, even - to have that 1 person stay. If you're playing with 7 people you can beat and 1 person you can crush, it's a question of winrate, i.e., your EV per hand times the number of hands per hour.

People should really strive to be the kind of player where any table is full of fish and hands per hour matter; rather than the kind of player that is scouring five different cardrooms for a 1/2 table he can beat.

Then stop worrying about scurrying from table to table like some kind of rodent seeking fallen leftovers, and become the apex predator of your poker ecosystem and beat the **** out of people who beat the **** out of fish.

Then strive to play 40 hands/hr.

Even if you are the best player in the room it doesn't mean all games are equal. You will still make more at some tables than other tables. Table selection always important to increasing and optimizing winrate, even for the best player in the room.
