I felt I might add with the effectiveness of simply waiting a bit before acting to make you harder to read. On sites like party with no auto timebank, just wait until the timer counts down if you're afraid you're giving away important information on your actions that an observant player might pick up on. The good it does me at 10nl though. T_T

Wow Myth, that was a really really good read.
Nice stuff.

Thanks for that article.

too many big words!

yea I agree with GP those quick calls usually mean they are on a draw. And the other day when I hit my set on turn a guy folded his overpair cause I took to long to bet lol I was mad

very good read

I have a cabin in joshua tree =] going to morongo tomorrow actually... i'm not a balla like you though, i'll only play 1/3

probably better to buy in somewhat short to 2/5, the 1/3 structure is awful and the rake is huge

great read, keep up the good work myth. more articles on timing tells would be awesome. Since I started playing less tables I've kind of instinctively noticed some of the things you mentioned and am only recently becoming conscious about them.

<3 so sexy

Or like when someone is 3betting you pre. If it's folded to you, you open and get instantly 3bet by some dude, then he often has a nut hand. Reasoning is that he was gonna play his hand 100% sure no matter the action and was already ready and eagerly waiting to raise or reraise before the betting even started.
If he had like 56s, would he really insta-3bet your "unexpected" open? He would at least evaluate the situation for a few seconds, check out the action, check out your stats, your position, ...

I also use it to my advantage sometimes. Like for example when I open a hand like AA, and some dude 3bets me IP, I'll often just insta jam AI in less then 1 sec, trying to rep AK.

insta jamming is ultra scary post-flop too, but then it's more the other way around and you'll be suprised how much more FE you get by raising/jamming like less then 1 sec after they bet.

the reasoning for this is because it appears as if it was something that you had planned to do, and since you arent taking any time to consider what the ensuing card might have changed, it looks REALLY strong. If you don't do it instantly, it's to be taken that you aren't sure what to do (or are hollywooding) .. but most of the time it should be taken as if you have a genuine decision and arent sure how to play your hand or what decision to make just yet. this makes stuff like jamming the river after a lot of thought seem to be a bluff or weaker hand in general between two thinking players who have history, that is of course, unless you think by pretending to think that it is the case that you will get a weaker call. regardless, this is all dependant accordingly upon the level u think your opponent is thinking on, and his current psychological state.

Great article..learn a lot

nice read good job : )
