In the game of poker, which is played in "live" and "online" mode, we need to look for indicators that allow us to make a possible reading of the opponent's hand.
For live poker, some varieties of "tells" must be observed to try to read an opponent, such as the posture at the table, how they are holding their cards, and their anxiety level.
In online poker, this information is not available. The "response time" or how long it takes a player to act once it is their turn is one of the few tools we have to read the opponent.
The basic principle is that the longer it takes a player to make a move, the stronger his hand is. For this reason, the opponent needs to stop and think about the best way to extract chips.
However, as in everything in poker, this "tell" cannot be considered a guarantee that the villain has a strong hand because many players use this concept to give false information about their hand.
Think about it.
