Sometimes moves just seem suspicious.
If you frequent around the live arena you can often pick tells from your poker opponents. Having read a lot of Mike Caro's stuff I spot some of these from time to time.
In the online game you cant stare at the villain and get a tell but there are timing tells to be had.
If you look at the following hand on paper it is pretty hard to figure out why I didn't go broke.
However, in the heat of battle this guy was giving off serious warning signs.
I have a tiny sample on the villain and he is playing 31/7 so he seems to be a fishy guy.

Preflop (Pot:1.50)
This tiny squeeze from the blinds will usually get no respect from me and will be immediately 4bet. However, the villain here had taken ages and I just smelt something fishy so decided to flat.
Flop
(Pot: $16.50)
This is a dream flop hitting my set and being deep with what seems like a fish. He tanks again forever and bets small into 2 players here.
This is a draw heavy board and 90% of the time I am raising here. I reckon that he probably has AA, KK or AK. I beat 2 of those hands but I want to try to drag along the 3rd player and then shove most turns. This is a highly risky play but I am so suspicious about his speed right about now.
Turn
(Pot: $30.50)
Insta check here looks pretty fishy.
River
(Pot: $30.50)
I have to call but I am 95% sure I am beat here
