In online poker, we don't see face expressions or shaking hands, but we have big digital clue - how much time you take to click button. Every second you wait tells story to table.
If you know how to read clock, you see opponent cards. If you hide your timing, you are like ghost. (theory)
💡 Many players play many tables and click like robots. Because of this, they show same habits I made not of:
⚡The Instantly Check:
When guy checks in 0.1 seconds, he is weak. He clicked "Check/Fold" button before card even came out.
🎬The Slow Think, Then Check:
Classic Hollywood theater. Opponent waits 15 seconds, burns time bank, then checks. 90% of time he wants to show "hard decision" so you get scared and check also.
- Don't be scared, bet into him.
💣The Deep Tank and Big Raise:
If guy waits until last second on turn or river, then makes giant raise - run away. He is not struggling. He just waits so his super strong hand looks like fake bluff.
🧩How to Hide Your Own Clues?
Easiest way to stop giving free info is to use same clock. Don't snap-call with big hands, and don't think 2 minutes before folding trash pre-flop.
Good Tip: Count to 3 or 4 in your head before any click, with pocket aces or with nothing.
"When timing is always same, opponents know nothing."
💬 Do you guys look at time banks when you play? What are your reads on common patterns I have missed?
