Timing Tells

I play on Full Tilt, and knowing the number of tables someone is sitting at is so easy to find out you can do it during a hand. Ctrl + F is the hotkey for "find player." Type the username in the box and hit ENTER. You will almost instantly see a list of tables where opp is playing. Most other sites have a similar feature.

I have found that timing tells are DIFFERENT depending upon how many tables someone is playing. But not nonexistent.

I used to think this. I would bet you have some massive timing tells, especially on the turn/river and when involved with big hands. I sure did.

Most multitablers have ways of ID'ing tables that have non-standard hands in progress. So they (we) react more quickly to action on that table than when they have easy turn/river decisions. Insta-bets on the turn/river from a mass multitabler likely means he's pulled that table out his stack and is focused on his set and how he's gonna double through you.

If you're multitabling, think about what types of hands you concentrate on, and how quickly you respond to the action once you've decided upon your line. I did, and it sure was eye-opening how much information I was giving away. Happily, most of my opponents aren't capable of taking advantage. But removing those tells makes me much harder to read.

This is golden. NH oskar.
