Is requesting time with the nut hand poor poker etiquette? or is this just another weapon at my disposal to mask the strength of my hand?

[DubRod]

Online I wouldnt really care; in B&M they may acuse you of slowrolling but all in all its legal, and you should use anything at your disposal to get others of they're game; if this fires them up....then good.
my 2 cents

[drmcboy]

If villian is AI, yes, otherwise there is no problem.

Lots of people use 'timing tells'. If you never take your time with the nuts, whenever you use time someone will know you have a real decision. So you not only can do this, you SHOULD do this.

In this hand, when villian puts in the last 2.25 you shouldn't use time - that would be a slow roll. What you did is fine.

[zook]

It looks like the flop is where you requested time, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. If villain gave you shit afterward, tell him you were away from the keyboard and your 5-year old kid takes a little longer to make decisions than you do. NH.

[Pelion]

Yea this is fine and useful. Its only bad ettiquette if villain pushes flop and you take ages to call the allin with the nuts.

[flotu]

Yeah, it's bad etiquette if it's a heads up pot and the villain is all in. In this case it's perfectly fine, actually no worse than a c/r or a slow play IMO.

[jafa]

well played I say.

[uscheese]

well played I say.

Agreed...I'm not sure why anyone would think this was poor etiquitte at all.
