The auto-play buttons are made to speed up the game. If you use the auto-play buttons, realize that you are using them at the cost of your chips.

Since online poker players are separated by hundreds of miles, one of the only “tells” in an online poker game is the amount of time that a player takes before acting on his or her hand. The “Commonly Accepted Formula” is this:

A delayed check = Weakness Instantaneous call = Strength Instantaneous check = Weakness Quick bet/raise on turn or river = Strength

The reason that this formula is so widely accepted by poker players is that it holds surprisingly true. The first tell is simply an understanding of poker psychology, but the last three are based on the auto-play buttons.

Think about it: If you have a weak hand and you click the automatic check button, you are telling every one at the table that you have a weak hand.

However, if you take a moment, people must ask themselves “Are they slow playing it? Will I be check-raised? How has he played in the past?”
