Re: meta game.
One should remember that most people are paying even less attention then you are 4 tabling or whatever. So these "tells" aren't going to be noticed by the vast majority. If I want to be bluffed by someone, I'll usually bet at a regular pace. If I don't want to be, I'll be quick against bad players and pause a little before I bet into good players. Of course most of the time I'm not even thinking about it. If you want to encourage a bluff from a good player when you check, a pause doesn't hurt. Against a bad player, I'd try to make it as close to an insta-check as possible.
