I'm wondering how many of you ever pick off online tells. I'm also wondering if this is more common than I have realized in past play, as I have just started to notice this pattern lately - primarily from a couple select weak/passive players. Anyway here is my story...

So there is your typical 25/4/1.5 passive limper type whos just limping along with all sorts of suited broadways and especially pocket pairs. He is in middle position and has just open limped, after the rest fold over to me, I pick up KK on the button and make a big raise because that limper is calling anything he's limped regarless of how many chips he has to fork up.

Anyway he calls and we're heads up. The flop comes dry as can be; J 7 5 rainbow. And all of a sudden I get this weird feeling as soon as he checks. He did it almost instantly which is unsual. Whatever, time to get some information. I bet out, he pauses, and then calls. Turn comes off as a brick, and then he makes a strange pause - it's hard to explain exactly but it wasn't 'natural'. It just wasn't 'in sync' with the rest of his typical check calls - I felt like I was about to get checkraised before it happened - but I bet anyway because afterall when the turn comes a brick and you have an overpair you bet right? (Although I am aware I maybe should have checked behind, I wanted to get value out of his possible top pair)

Sure enough he check min raises me just to rub it in, and I toss the kings, wondering If I should have maybe just check called a bet the size of what I would have made on the turn on the river as a bluff catcher or whatever. His akward timing plus the min raise made it the most poorly played set (probably) of all time.

Ok question now: If you feel you've spotted a timing tell, is it best just to check behind on the turn? Or is betting here really the best option. Should we bet the brick turn, or should we hope the tell holds true and check behind for some pot control. Anyone here ever adjust their plans for a hand if they feel they've spotted an online tell? Any other thoughts/comments etc?
