GG Poker - $0.25 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 105.52 BB
SB: 150.08 BB
BB: 104.48 BB
Hero (UTG): 157.96 BB
MP: 190.92 BB
CO: 100 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has Q♦ J♦

Hero raises to 2 BB, fold, fold, fold, SB calls 1.6 BB, fold

Flop: (5 BB, 2 players) T♥ A♦ 9♥
SB checks, Hero bets 1.76 BB, SB raises to 6.04 BB, Hero calls 4.28 BB

Turn: (17.08 BB, 2 players) 5♦
SB bets 15.16 BB, Hero calls 15.16 BB

River: (47.4 BB, 2 players) 8♠
SB bets 40.52 BB, Hero raises to 134.76 BB and is all-in, fold

Hero wins 123.96 BB

The villain is a tag. He did tank like 60 seconds on river.

I play at a pace of 950 hands per hour with three tables of 25NL RC, and rarely do I take my time, and sometimes I play blazingly fast, such as in this case, do you think I should slow down sometimes?

Thoughts?

The pace is something like, snap call, snap call, and then snap shove.

In some rooms, you pay less blinds, if you play faster. I don't know about GG..I doubt it..You can just sit out at the other tables...Someone can report you , for "slow play", but again , I doubt it...But I had some problems in the past for this, warnings, but nothing else..

I think it's good to make the right decisions all the time and not sure that will work if you play super fast every hand.
This hand played it self I think with the shove on the river. It's off course a tell if you would shove right away if villain bets big on you on the riverlike now. If you hasn't the nuts you would think more about you're decision on the river I think.

I make this same mistake, I am snap shoving pre with AA or snap shoving when or raising when I have something big. I think this is "greed" :badteeth:

Not always, I think it's just time savings too. We just wanna play more hands.

Playing fast in fast-fold games is probably best for 80% or more of the hands you're dealt.
From time to time though it would makes sense to change up betting strategies.
Like min-raising this river to get a call.
