timing tells

[J. Stew]

i've noticed when people call a raise then quick check heads up they usually don't have much. here's kind of a lame example.

villain is tight 12.9/9

he quick checks and i auto bet here. if he thinks for a little bit then checks i might check behind or bet depending on how i read the timing of his check (sometimes they think and check cause they're weak and sometimes cause they're thinking about c/ring)

another tell:

when you three bet an average player say from the c/o pf and he thinks for a while before calling your three bet, he's usually strong and is check/shoving a lot of flops.

feel free to add any tells you've come across or comment on these, halleluja.

this thread could have some potential

about the quick check: in general it just indicates he has a planned action. this COULD be c/f, but c/c is not uncommon either. it's almost never c/r, though

[martijn]

When someone insta-calls my flop bet, I often double barrel no matter my hand, as it often indicates a weak hand like TP no kicker or middle pair.
Though I think most people know this already.

[J. Stew]

yeah if they have a big hand they usually take some time either because they're thinking about what to do or b/c they're faking weakness like oh i don't know what to do.

the snap call seems like it's usually weakness though sometimes they get stubborn and make up their minds that their calling you down with a weak made hand . . like if you're playing laggy.

good one.

This guy thought for an abnormally long amount of time before checking the flop, then led the turn pretty quickly

was he playing 15 tables at the time?

niet

[drewvy]

what about multitabling...can deceive you sometimes if a player is involved in more than one hand...but yes a quick call is almost always a medium strength hand...i really notice it when a player leads and I raise and he calls very quickly...the turn is usually good for a big bet

[benlj21]

When a good aggro TAG thinks awhile before calling my 3bet, especially in position, I usually think he's calling light and resteal shoving the flop with lots of draws.

im annoyed that i cant make decisions as fast as i realize what i want to do because i know some guy on the other end is gonna do _____ if i decide too fast.

turns the game to levelling with timing of clicking a button even tho im playing multiple tables and not levelling based on image and cards!!!
