Default Re: Betting time and other online tells in SNG\'s

Oh yeah, I agree completely. I'm not advocating reading into other people's betting times, I'm just saying that you can sometimes use your own betting time to manipulate other people's (i.e. mostly bad players) decisions.

I'm sure this is nothing new and was just wondering what sort of similar plays that other people make.

I am sticking with my statement. We are better off spending time working on our game in more concrete ways (as noted above) than we are spending time thinking about how to manipulate people with bet-timing systems. It just seems inconsequential, IMO, whereas how you play difficult hands like TT and AQ in the early stages (for example) is the kind of issue you should be looking at in detail.

The issue is referenced on a semi-regular basis in the mid-high no-limit forum, arguably the most skilled forum on the site, so I believe it has value worth trying to capitalize on.
