Players that run the clock

[Bawse]

It usually doesn't bother me when players run the clock, unless they're doing it repeatedly, but I don't let it affect how I play.

Do you get frustrated when players run the clock?

It's a great strategy as it does rattle quite a few people.Takes them out of their game.

I do it sometimes when it gets close to ITM to make it to hand-for-hand, and play to win once some cash is secured.

Yes, this is a sensible strategy used by many. Different intent i think.

Sure! I get annoyed when players consistently run the clock, especially in critical situations. It's clear tactics of disrupting the game's flow.

It can be really irritating to run the clock. It is irritating when a player spends much time to think. It kills the fun and makes it boring for everyone.

I am okay when an opponent on the poker table takes his or her time to make their decisions. What I am not comfortable with is when they seem to do it intentionally such that even minor decisions take too much time. It can be frustrating and disrupt your own game plan on the table. But I have never had an outburst regarding that.

As long as you are patient with such a player, you will have the edge. The issue comes up when you let such a strategy get to you. I don't even see the need why you should be letting that kind of situation dictate how you play the game.

i never played live but even in an online tourney you have a time to act but i think after 10 min you can call the clock and this not ganna happen often

Yeah, it definitely gets on my nerves when they do it constantly, especially if it seems intentional. I try not to let it tilt me, but when someone tanks for two minutes on an obvious fold, it's pretty annoying. I just remind myself they might be genuinely thinking through a tough spot.
