Some more bad poker etiquette at the table, is what's called Hollywooding. Now Hollywooding is a slang term for a player taking to much time to make a decision, they are constantly taking thirty, forty, sixty seconds before they do anything. Even when there has been pleanty of action or pleanty of time before its gotten around to them. They're still sitting at the table, you know, you see them thinking, you see them talking or you just see them sitting there for what is obviously too long of a time to make a decision. Hollywooding at a table will get everyone else mad at you, it slows down the progress of the game. Especially when you are at the casino, you are trying to see as many hands as you can per hour. So, keep the time that it takes you to make your decision to a minimum. Take your time when you make your decisions, but don't take too much time. Be respectful of the other players at the table. And know, or kind of know what your action is going to be when it gets to you. So when it gets too you, you are not taking an extremely long amount of time to make a decision. So Hollywooding is another bad form of poker etiquette at the table.
