An Observation: Betting Speed = Tell
Feel free to confirm or deny this observation, but I have noticed that most people who have the bet/raise check-box checked usually have the goods, while most people who bet very quickly without using the bet/raise box usually do not.
My theory is that people think (myself included) that using the bet/raise check-box looks too much like a bluff, so they will only use it when they want a call. On the other hand, people who click bet or raise really quickly are trying to use the "intimidation" factor to scare you out of the pot without giving it away as a bluff.
