Re: help settle debate on timing tells
generally i pay attention to timing tells against weak to average players, and try to avoid them against good to very good players. i know when i play i do random pauses or quick actions, and i'm sure lots of other HSNL players do as well.
that said, if this is an averageish player, then i have a few points. you probably don't need to be making 150bb+ bluffs against mediocre competition to win. yeah, the bet might have positive expectation, but playing this type of style when you don't need to to beat a player is one of the reasons some HU players go crazy. (sorry, off topic) against weaker to average players, pauses usually mean they are considering a number of options. the quick call is almost always a mediocre hand where as the pause really isn't a reliable indicator except for that they probably don't have a very mediocre 2nd or 3rd pair type hand, because they would have likely folded it quickly. tc

Re: help settle debate on timing tells
I really, really want to troll this thread because of the [censored] you've talked to me about my tells, but whatever.
Quick calls - draw or weak hand Quick checks - going for a c/r Slow checks - hoping you check Slow calls - could have anything really

I've made some sick checks behind based on this.

Who cares. The river is a bad card for you to bluff after him calling that turn bet. [/ QUOTE ] Only if the villain is completely retarded.

[/ QUOTE ] to clarify, im not saying this is a good/bad card to bluff, Im just saying it is definitely not a card I'm like WOW ITS RIDIC TO BLUFF THIS RIVER. Seems like a reasonable river to put someone to a decision if you want to bluff.

ok so this hand just happened and was talking about it with someone No-Limit Hold'em, $10 BB (2 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) Hero ($2301.91) Button ($2225) Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $35</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $120</font>, Button calls $85. Flop: ($240) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $200</font>, Button calls $200. Turn: ($640) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $520</font>, Button calls $520. River: ($1680) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets 1461.91 </font> they thought a while before calling turn. i pushed because i figured this mean they didnt really like their hand (like maybe they had 68 and were counting odds?). on the other hand, when a bet is on someone people usually say the person is weighing his options of calling vs raising, which would mean the person probably has a strong hand, i would think. the opponent wasn't spectacular or anything, so no idea if he is trying to level me with time use. any thoughts on bluffing by using timing tells?? ty [/ QUOTE ] for the record, back in the old days on party I used to INSTACALL flop and turn bets with sets because I felt like it looked weak to do it. these days, I think putting a blanket statement out there about 'timing tells' is silly. Generally when they insta-call the all in on the river for 3x the pot its bad though.
