timing tells and a hand

[milesdyson]

do you guys use timing tells?

i dont think we can actually talk about "how long" something takes to mean something, but its interesting nonetheless. krishan made a post "Blink as it relates to poker" in mid-high recently, which is, i guess, an interesting book that might relate to poker.

i would like this thread to be one for hands where you think you used a timing tell. post one whether you were right or not.

in this hand, on the turn, i did not believe this guy - obviously, or i would not 3-bet third pair. so i 3-bet him to get to the showdown for free instead of having to call and call again. when he bet the river, wow, i just thought, no way, so i called. what can i say, im a big fish (this guy was 38/5/2 btw)
