Great vid, love your stuff. Some of the best ive seen

Love your Videos soooo much love to your work ! thank you !❤

Great video man! Like allways, very informative!

Thank you for this video! I really apreciate your dedication

One of my most memorable hands was playing HU online. I’m tactically deliberate with the amount of time I take with each decision so as not to give away any time bank tells, unless I’m trying to sell weakness and really set up an exploitative player when I’m nutted. The hand in question I had baby suited connectors and called the preflop open. Flopped a baby flush. Donk led with a blocker sizing trying to rep very marginal 1 pair hands or strong flush draws. Villain snap calls. Clean turn so I insta check OOP and it’s checked back. Clean river so I deployed my favorite move of tanking before checking again knowing how weak it would look and likely look like I was just on a busted draw or a pair which was downgraded (the flop brought only 1 picture card but the turn and river brought a couple more broadway cards out there). Villain fires for value for around 2/3 pot. I tank again longer than usual and then put in a massive check raise overbet to make it look like I was turning a marginal made hand on the flop into a bluff or like I was bluffing with a busted flush draw on the end. Sure enough villain 3 bet jams for me and I snap it off and he shows me he rivered broadway. As soon as he saw how bad I pwned him with my flush, he immediately left the table rather than adding another bullet 😂

Saulo great content. Funny enough before seeing this video, I used to perceive snap calls/bets/raises as really strong and started overfolding. Works really good. And going a little bit beyond, i started reverse exploiting timing and works as well (for example if I have a semi bluff 3bet hand like A4suited I force myself to snap 3bet and generate more folds haha). When I have a really strong hand I force myself to tank. Works well too. Keep up the good work!

Hello Saulo, love your video. I agreed that usually if people instantly check, they are most likely to be weak. For taking longer times though, I think sometimes people are just multi tabling and thus taking longer time to act. I myself have taken quite a long time to raise aces and such as I have more urgent decisions to make

Dude u made me think better about poker! Thanks to you I play fewer tables and can observe and get more information on my opponents and sometimes it feels like I can read their souls. Before that I was 8-12 tables autopiloting but now I understand that I have more $/h winrate if I play fewer tables and just focus more on hands. Of course its important to play a lot because of variance in poker but I better play less hands overall but more focused that masstable on autopilot.

Thank you for this. Better waiting for this.

Loved the video for the most part just one question though. At 23:46 I understand that you think your opponent will have a super strong range when he snap 3 bets but wouldn’t that mean you have the implied odds to call because you could potentially hit a set? Especially when you’re a little deeper and he sized down a bit

niceee dms, esse é meu patrão!!

I have used this almost at the start and I see many pretty new players using this as it's quite easy to figure out in my opinion. You quite quickly realize that you call faster when you have strong hand and you think when you are at the border will you call or not. There's a lot of over bluffers on noob tables how try to look strong as they snap raise every turn. I think it works better there where people actually calculate what they play. I have played like 3 months and you can't usually tell is my hand strong based on this or weak as I sometimes bluff raise instantly. Most of the times when I have strongest hand possible and someone raises I take a bit of time before I call. Sometimes I sure forget to manipulate that so you can tell.

these are great, thanks. Quick question about the nines fold hj vs bb - isn't it still worth calling this deep with position even against a strong range? Opponent still has a lot of AK/AQ and you can hit sets. I've mostly studied MTT ranges so I may be off here but found that one a bit surprising

Most underrated skill in poker!! Even in high stakes! You did a great work with meta game too...also underrated!! well done!!

Thx so much for that video !! It improve my game so much 👍👍 i can catch bluff easy 😅👍

So on the ball! 👏

Great video as always. what if ppl are multi tabling? They will be tanking in most spots (we don't know if they are)

Salve Saulo! Quais outros conteúdos sem ser o seu sobre timing tell q vc recomenda? queria explorar outras fontes hehe

How reliable are these timing tells vs regs? Sometimes they could be timing out tables, busy on their phone/spotify/whatever or even purposely trying to reverse timing tells like snap 3 betting weak hands. I try to never snap anything except situations where it doesn't give info away like RFIs and calling shoves or vs really bad fish who won't notice.

Well done Saulo. Thanks for the content. Although the final result (8-2-1) would have been more transparent if you had posted the full session that you played too. It could also teach us how frequently you could exploit timing tells per wpiped hands.

Tanking is just super polarized soo it’s either the fake timebank with the nuts, or it’s a trash hand that folds to a tiny bet or tiny x/r

Good stuff but if villains are multi-tabling I think you really need to discount timing tells. Personally I never insta-anything, always try to wait 3-5 seconds before clicking regardless of hand. But love timing tells against recs especially. Do you think snap call lean more heavily towards draws than A-high or under pairs as bluff catchers? Thank you for all your time and efforts Saulo.

This video is why I love getting exploitative when I have the nuts with my time bank. When someone bets a street for me, I insta snap call so it will look like I’m just on a decent draw. I also enjoy tanking for longer than usual before checking when OOP on later streets, as everyone pretty much always reads that as weakness and will blast off for me when I have the nuts. I think time bank tells are actually more exploitable playing live compared to online. Bet sizing tells are a more reliable exploit IMO.

Hey Saulo great videos and content - the new format and editing with the solver appearing etc is streets ahead of the other poker creators. Two questions 1. I notice that you use the timing tell to influence marginal decisions ie a tank RFI you may light 3 bet with hands that are decent equity or have A or K blocker properties that normally would fold but not like 72o as is too wild especially if he finds out. Is that fair? 2. I understand you have your premium hands, your premium draws and then your trash. What kind of showdowns / folds would you need to see to consider triple barrel bluffing with the unblocking hands like 22, 33, 33? Hope that makes sense and thanks for your hard work!

This is an extremely epic video. I am taking a lot away from it and you are obviously way sharper a poker player than I will be for a long time. However, I think it is worth mentioning that in some of these lines, it seems like these same plays should be made regardless of timing tells because of MDA. At 1:11 shouldn't we delay anyway after a reg checks twice? And even if it wasn't overfolded, in theory they're usually folding, so I don't think it's that fair to give a +1 to timing tells. At 12:45 regardless of timing tells, isn't it reasonable to make these exact same assumptions regardless of timing tells when it checks to you on the turn? I would typically delay double with all my air here and play the same way with my SDV. At 15:05, check raise flop and continue is very underbluffed, so should K3s be folded regardless of timing? And I'd like to ask, at 19:20, if we're happy with our read, shouldn't we be bluffing? On this rainbow flop it's pretty hard for villain to convince themselves they have us beat. Finally thank you for making me a better poker player Mr saulo costa

Good stuff, still watching, but feel like maybe the 7:30 we might count as a fail, no? Although, not explicitly verified, I feel like he's folding 77, a small pair, a 9T, etc... All of the potential hands that we placed him on much quicker vs that river/bet/sizing...

I just got my first fabulous issue of your newsletter . How can I get all of the back issues?

As a losing player and one that wishes to win at some point, What would be estimated a short or long time that should cause concern. This is of course in regards to your simulator. Live I play much better but online my numbers are down overall. Thank you for the serious responses. Peace.

Yeah, I thought of timing tells also then dropped the idea cause so many player multi-table -is it a tell or is it villain is busy managing 4 games?

Chip shuffle and raise is nuts 100% of the time

This is a huge eye-opener for me. Absolutely priceless information. I'm gonna implement it to my games. Thank you Saulo for sharing such information for free!

Hey bro, great content even for mtt players and other variants! One thing though, the 23:50 99 - you are deep enough to defend. And if you think his range is stronger, isn't that even better?

Do I understand the following correctly? We are concerned with very quick timings and very long timings. Taking extra long to Cbet is not top of range more than it should be: more bluff bets and raises produce extra folds. Quick calls are capped/ not top of range more than they should be. Preflop and flop are particularly useful.

At 16.17 from my experience when the 3better insta check the flop you have 0 fold equity when you bet flop, if he had QJ no clubs or something he would think about it

The trouble with when they take longer to act could be because they are multi tabling. I think their snap decisions are more important to take note of

Is AQ rly a snap fold against a snap 3 bet? You’re still flipping against hands like TT, JJ. 30% eq. against KK, and ahead hands like AJs and AT?

8:05 He has 78s and could have offsuit combos as well though

8:05 Only hand you lose to JT? How about KQd? or 78 or 78d? Q8 d? overpairs slow played

Since these videos come out I have been tanking 10+ seconds with premiums in the hopes someone punts their stack off into me, not sure if anyone has picked up on this! Anyhow lesson is to always think before you make a decision and in clear spots, always wait 3 seconds then act.

Super like in the dark 🔥

Whats up Saulo 👋 i love poker and im getting married to a really hot Brazilian woman. I feel like we're practically brothers now. I rip timing tell bluffs on river a lot combined with a high fold hud stat and a decent blocker.

QTdd hand at 20:20 certainly shows the danger of going overboard with timing tells and ignoring the actual hand. Obviously a pretty clear spot to just bomb turn with your hand in those positions and then an easy shove OTR for stacks. A3 extremely likely to hero call down with every draw missing in wide-range spot where you have infinite bluffs. I get that the point of the video is timing tells (and great video tbh) but I think we should be more real here and call it what is instead of "close". I think if you had a student come to you with that hand played as block-block you would actually give him a very stern lecture actually hah

I have been applying timing tells exploitative strategies and it is impressive how much information opponents leave at our disposal. This happens at the lower limits where I play, NL5 to NL50. I think we have the biggest gaps to exploit opponents only because of the time they take with their decisions. Great video as always Saulo!

Every nit now basically tanks for life before jamming 😂

saulo moro na belgica e quero ser seu aluno tem como???

The original timing tell video has added so much EV it's unreal. Opponent takes 6s to RFI from CO, I 3bet Q6s in BU. Fold. Opp opens HJ, I 3bet A7s BTN, he takes 14s to 4bet. I 5B all in. Fold. Opp opens BTN, I 3bet KJo in SB. He takes 25s to put in the 4bet. I jam. Fold. It really is that easy!

I was going to ask you a question about whether u have any video's on sizing tells because i think those can also be just as valuable maybe not at the higher stakes but low to medium stakes for sure; but i looked at the first four comments and u didn't really answer the questions, you just copied and pasted your response and plugged your newsletter. I watch almost every poker streamer, vlogger, coach there is online and taking the time to have a short discussion with your fans in the comments goes along way. Good content still and agree timing tells are super important.

Mayby in next video you can call instead of folding to proof your point that opponent is stronger :)

23:42 you don't set mine here esp knowing it's a strong range? I feel like the game has passed me by...

Min 17:25 Moneytaker69 😂😂😂😂

Don’t you think the students who are playing the bot are thinking “there’s no point randomising my timing against this bot, it won’t be using that information against me”

Your timing will also influence the opponent's timing

I dont get how we can not set mine 99 almost 130 Big Blinds deep i mean he could show me aces i want to hit 9 or outmaneuvre him In Position Postflop on scary boards. I noticed u giving way too much respect to 3bets from Big Blind vs your early position open. Thats how your opponents should exploit You by doing so quite often

They may work against the worst players at low stakes. Completely irrelevant once you are playing for real stakes, as even the whale recs know enough to be deliberate with the amount of time they take with each decision regardless of whether or not it’s a tough decision.

that's non sense to timing tell c/r A8o on K52s because vilain took 7s to cbet half pot. He was way more likely thinking about the sizing than thinking about cbetting or not.

Saulo this is going to cost me a lot of money!!! 😅

Do GG poker ban winning players

17:20 - were you playing against that cheater?

Little did he know that he was playing a bot farm in every hand

Those timing tells probably won´t work against me.

Online poker is dead, buried in the ground, its rotting carcass milked dry of life by training content, HUDs, AI solving and RTA

lol, bro found zoom selection. If you fold vs fast 3bet that doesn't necessarily mean a person has a good hand. He also can just know pre-flop well, which means he learns how to play poker, therefore we don't wanna play vs him and just go forward finding some amateur players who's gonna make more mistakes kekw

At least charge money for this info, god… little videos like this kill online poker piece by piece

i am sorry, but this video is inconclusive

Gimme a break. Nothing real about GG or Stars. Complete fkng slot machines. Anyone who doesn't know that is shilling propaganda... the places are jokes on the community.
