I don't know if this is standard or if everyone knows already but I think I found a slightly advantageous online tell that I sometimes use.
This is just my opinion that I think I figured out based on my experience. Do not take this as a fact. I want to know if this is a good or flawed assumption.
On the "find player" option on full tilt, i search someone's name. If the person is playing 8 tables or more, it's most likely that the person will be playing very tight and mostly play his cards, rarely bluff. This is for cash games. While discussing someone's post on the cc thread "Eastern Europeans", I happened to remind myself of a tell that I kind have learned from my experience.
Most South Koreans players I've seen on Full Tilt tend to play over 10 tables, all of them have auto-top up maximum buy-in, and play super tight, producing rakeback and when they flop a monster, they try to get maximum value out of it. Most of their betting ends on the turn because they like to put players in decision for all of their chips and put all of their money in while they have the best of it. I figured this out and tend to stay away from them whenever they're in a pot while donks have no sense and become their victims by getting involved in a huge pot against them. While learning their strategies, I learned that many multi-tablers who play more than 8 tables will rarely bluff and mostly play tight poker because they're too busy playing many tables and cannot concentrate on other players and what kind of players are at their table.
Using this knowledge, I figured that you can steal their blinds very often, make many continuation bets on the flop to take down the small pots and play small-ball.
Tell me your opinion on the tell that I kind of made up. Is this a good tell to know or is this very flawed? So far, I used this to my advantage and worked ok but I cannot validate my "tell" based on my poker experience at microstakes. I never found this tell on any online poker books.
