Take this hand for instance on the river I did the whole time routine and 30 seconds blah blah blah, but is a decent poker player more likely to call if you raise it quickly or if you go into the tank??? Any thoughts??? Im thinking that if you go into the tank and then come out with a raise its a dead giveaway!!!!

I think it depends on previous bets and how long they took and what you were betting on. Just my opinion- so if I am wrong anyone feel free to correct.

Real quick.

I am more hesitant to call with time taken. To me it looks like someone strong pretending to be weak. If you are weak why would you raise?

A quick re-raise to me (again) seems to imply I want to throw money out here, and see if you will fold. So, I guess my answer as answer would be I would be more likely to call a faster bet than a slower 1.

As a general question, this is my general answer, not taking into account any reads I have developed on a given player. However at the $1.00 level, you could probably re-raise quick or slow, and type in the chat box "I have the nuts" and still get a call. Nothing against smaller stakes games, it just goes back to my theory that bad players lose their money calling, not betting.
