I usually don't go with "timing tells" because of LAG, multitabling, and faking it. So I think the most reliable timing tell is a very quick action. There was a hand recently where i had a image of threebetting light against one of the regs. A hand comes, i he raised from the CO, i threebet with some unpaired cards (AK maybe, i don't quite remember).

The flop came

I cont bet a little over half pot and the guy literally instacalled.

the turn came a

I felt like the insta call told me something. With a hand like AQ, i think the opponent would consider raising, and probably with KQ also. I would also think that a set would at least think a little bit of it's plan. Hands like 77-JJ, and QJ, possibly 22-44 all "have to call this flop against me" because i almost always cont bet in 3-bet pots and could have a lot of air.

The T was a good card because it only hit one hand, TT, since i doubt he would be in this hand pre with QT (it's possible though). So i decided since it looked like his hand was weak enough to fold to a two barrel, i can do it very profitably. i bet about 3/4 pot or a little more and he folded.

Even with that story i don't reccomend you put much emphasis on "timing tells."

In terms of fake timing for myself, sometimes i'll run it down to the time bank before i make a raise if i have a strong hand, since i think about that much time with bluffs. Conversely, sometimes when i bluff i'll make my raise quickly, because it looks like i didn't even think about it even though i had already planned out my moves depending on the cards that came.

- your thoughts on "call and reevaluate on turn" advice, situations where this might be right/wrong
We talked about this in a thread in the shorthanded forum... if you want good thoughts on that look at that thread. But i'll touch on something about it that people don't talk about much.

Usually people take the comment "call and reevaluate the turn" as reevaluate according to the bet and the card that comes. But sometimes, i call the flop and reevaluate based almost completely on the card. Sometimes you'll be in a situation on the flop in position where you feel you are in a push or fold situation (because of the draws on the board) and that pushing is marginal and it's hard to know if it's -EV or slightly +EV. Sometimes i'll call even with the drawiness of the board, planning to push on a good turn (given that he makes the follow through on the turn that i think he was going to do), because my EV becomes significantly better against draws when there is only one more card to come.

Yeah that's kind of vague but i can't think of a specific situation right now, i'm sooooooooo tired
