 |

I am driven nuts waiting for slow idiots.
Especially on Poker Stars.
Does anyone know of any strategy to
un-stress me during these situations? |

I've found that a beer or three can relieve a good deal of stress. |

lol. that kills me when people do that, like someone is gonna look down and go: "oh yeah, I need to do something!"
I can understand getting frustrated when someone is being slow (usually cause of multi-tabling), but one thing you have to look at is what their connection status is. I live in the sticks, and have to use wireless broadband, which is sketchy at best. It's very common for me to be disconnected during a game (often during a great hand of course), and I hate the delay it causes, but it's something I can't do anything about.
Often I see people getting mad and typing the z's in the chat box, when the player is showing the disconnected sign.... |

[ ] correct forum for complaining about Pokerstars players
[ ] common concern experienced by majority of regular Full Tilt players
[ ] likely to get serious responses along the lines of yoga, take a break/walk, ignore the urge to chat angrily, etc. |

These 2 are a must in this game we call poker:
1. BR Mgt.
2. Patience

| Play 8 tables at a time and you wont even notice if one of them is slow and you might be glad it is. |
