Wow, great post. I realized a few tells in my own plays just from thinking about my "conversations" and the messages I was sending. That set tell is one in particular I've learned to pick up on, and it has saved me tons of chips and tournament lives by smelling out that check/AI nonsense.

Would you say the speed at which a player makes his decision also adds something to the "coversation"? Obviously it would be a bit harder to tell since there's plenty of people who multi-table and won't respond in the first 10 seconds or so, but how about players making quick clicks of the button? Would a pause and a call be any different from a speedy one?
