Aye the Pause is an excellent tool.

If someone's taking there time making a bet they either lag or making a decision how much to raise.

It's also great to use against people who all in, when u have no intention to call but make them sweat it out :P

Default The "pre-action" buttons

I use the check/fold box only.... or the Fold box.... and lately the "check" box.
The fold box is obvious... I have no intention of staying in the hand...

As for the Check/fold, I like that because I have already decided to fold to any bet ahead of me.... I am hoping for a free card, However, if it is checked through me, and there is a bet behind me, I will re-evaluate, and then make a decision to stay in the hand or re-raise. ( I tend to lean on the re-raise side)

The "Check" box is nice, because if it checks through you, other players assume very quickly that you had the (Check/fold) buttion clicked.
I just had no intention of opening the betting, and will most likely call or re-raise if I so desire.

i only use the check/fold box as well. i never use the other boxes.

i think that the pause in general is not much of a tell online, just because your opponent is just as likely to be playing multiple tables as anything else.

in higher stakes games maybe.. but in lower stakes games, especially NL games, ESPECIALLY on partypoker, people pausing a while then raising means real strength... a quick bet usually means weakness
