It’s not as important on a ring, because if you loose you just re buy… Remember that online requires more patience to play a hand, mostly in tourneys. If you are at a poker site and take this posture, it will help you to slow down and keep away your hand from the mouse. At the same time once you finally get to see the flop you will be able to read better your opponent. Second, this will put you in alert and make you double think your strategy. Why? Well if you are in a live game you will be giving the correct image, if you want to trap. So, next time you get this premium hands, don’t get too exited as a matter of fact, feel negative about it. You win a very small pot or you loose a huge pot. The reason AA and KK are two of the worst hands in poker, it’s simple. Have you ever tried to lay down AA's or KK's? Yes, pre flop.
I said, sorry but that's an easy lay down. The other day at tourney a guy said: “I’m taking long because it isn't easy to lay down a pair of TT's”.
