# Throttles

Throttles control the speed of the game. If you find the game moves too slowly or too quickly for your taste you can adjust the throttles to your desired speed.

Actions
The action throttle controls the minimum time between player actions. For instance, an action throttle of one second will enforce at least one second between a player betting and the next player acting.

Showdowns
The showdown throttle controls how long showdowns will take. A long showdown gives you more time to see what the opponent had and think about how they played the hand.

Auto-Deal
This sets the delay between a hand ending and the start of the next hand. It is only used when Auto-Dealing is turned on.

Fast Folds
After you fold the hand, the hand is played out by the computer opponents. With Fast Folds on, once you have folded all throttles are set to zero for the remainder of the hand. That way the game plays at maximum speed when you are no longer in the hand.

Auto-Zip
Auto-Zip has the same effect as clicking fold and then clicking the lightning button to zip to the end of the hand. Once you have folded, all of the remaining players will play at maximum speed, and animation will be disabled. Some of the more advanced opponents will play at a reduced mental capacity in order to play faster. This is the fastest way to move on to the next hand.
