I've found that mediocre players give away a tremendous amount of information when you ask this question every once in a while.
Typically, I use this question when someone who likes to limp or flat opens a lot, all of a sudden raises preflop. Even if it looks like I'm watching the baseball game, I'm well aware of who put the raise in. But when asking this question, you can pretty much tell by their comfort level if they have AA (perfectly calm) vs QQ-KK (smile, but watching me closely) vs. JJ or AK (crapping their pants, trying to decide what to do if I re-raise).
Maybe I do this once every 3 or 4 hours, seemed a useful bit of table talk to me... It really doesn't slow the game down more than a few seconds, it's not an angle of any kind. But it never even occurred to me that such a thing might also tilt a player decent enough to be on a forum!
