Yes, there are some timing and betting tells online, but I prefer the tells you see in live poker and players who try their damnedest to hide tells.  Players use various apparatus to thwart tells...sunglasses to hide your pupils, scarves to hide your Adam's apple...the idea is that when you get excited, your pupils dilate and you swallow hard...my problem with that simple assessment is that your physical reaction causing you to swallow hard and dilation of the pupils could be for differing reasons...those physical reactions may happen involuntarily if I am sitting on an absolute monster hand, and I'm about to win the motherlode of chip stacks...on the other hand, it could be me contemplating an enormous bluff, going all-in with nada...how many recreational players, or even pros can make that distinction?  So, interpretation of the tells are perhaps no better than a 50/50 proposition, whereas fake tells can be spotted a mile away (or 1.6 km)...the old fake out...acting strong means you're weak and vice versa.
