Timing Tells

[Windbreaker]

Before you read too much into timing tells, you might want to know how many tables your villain is playing.

I heard Sorel Mizzi talking about one in particular before:

- You bet the flop, and villain insta min-raises. Sorel says that this is a great spot to shove. The villain rarely has a monster. If he did, he would have to taken some time to think of how to extract the most money from you. If you shove, you make it very hard for one pair or draws to call you.

I don't usually concern myself with timing tells from decent players unless I know otherwise. Mostly because they are usually playing a lot of other tables too so that basically negates any information you can gain from them.

As for fish, I think anything they do suddenly, whether that is snap calling or snap shoving/betting the river, is going to be far more weighted towards their weaker hands.

One timing tell that is pretty common among bad players is when they c/min raise. That is just about always some crap top pair hand (like A7 on A96 board) unless they are really passive then you have to be the fucking nutcracker because that's what you are going to have to do to win the hand.

I thought this thread might get more action than this... so, bizump.
