If you need time to count the pot, by all means, count the pot. But taking "exactly 5 seconds" every decision no matter what is stupid. That's WAY TOO SLOW when you have a clear fold in front of you, and that's too fast when you have a legitimate decision to make.
I'm talking about for a live game here. Online, it's rare that it takes me 5 seconds to make a decision, but when it does, so be it. It's not giving anything away about the strength of my hand. It's usually when deciding to call either an all in bet or a large bet on the river, when there is no action left behind me, so there are no tells to be given anyway.
When you know how you are going to act, just act.
