Online Tells (a bunch of hooey?)

[ElAnimal]

Crunchy1 made me think about this in a recent post.

How many of you let online tells influence your decisions at small stakes tables? Why, why not, and under what circumstances?

The only online tells I know of are related to how much time a given player takes to make a decision.

Personally, if the opponent plays even remotely well, I totally disregard "tells" as they could be a result of multitabling or done purposefully to throw me off. But if the player is extremely bad (like VPIP in the 60%+ range over at least a few orbits) and I see an obvious pattern, I'll take it into consideration. I think I run into what I'd call a legitimate tell maybe about once every 5,000 -10,000 hands or so, so they're not really significant to me. I'm mostly just curious.
