You Can't Rush The Progress of a Tourney

I know I get anxious when I am chip leader with 40 or so players left and 27 itm, I catch myself trying to win the tournament at that time, when I need to just lay back and wait it out.

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.
