When people act fast they generally have air. Occasionally someone will insta check when they hit a set on the flop. On a dry board, I Cbet a bit less when someone does that insta check on the flop.

Taking a few extra seconds sometimes means second or third pair, or a draw they are calculating odds for.
Agree completely about the insta check on the flop, esp when they call a raise oop and they are 'supposed' to check. I'll admit that I've been guilty of myself at times of doing this, and accidental or intentional, my range was definitely weighted much stronger than otherwise.
