I personally don't wait to look at my cards. I'm still only playing in low stakes games and I don't think it's important at those levels. Since I play so much online, I'm used to playing fast, and I don't need any time to have an idea of what I will do with those cards. However, I do pay attention to the players that wait to look at their cards. This tells me that they've spend time studying the game, and usually that makes their style of play easier to predict. I can narrow down their hand ranges better and can usually bluff them easier when I pick my spots correctly. I'm also hoping that they notice that I don't look at my cards, because then it will be easier for them to underestimate my ability.

As someone else mentioned another tell is that when someone's hand is shaking it is a massive tell. This is very true and something that I will on rare occasion throw in when I am trying to pull off a bluff on someone that has waited to look at his cards ;).

Also, I know that once you look at your cards, you should put them down and not look at them again. However I have a very bad memory, so I will constantly re-check them out of habit even if I'm not on a draw. I hope that also misleads my opponents.
