If you want some general, broad tell that is correct more often than not. insta call = weak, insta raise = strong. Note, just because they're weak, it doesn't mean they are going to fold. Sometimes ya win, sometimes ya lose.
Yep, +1 in everything you said, just wanna add that i think good players will use reverse time tell some % of the hands they play if they notice their opponents are paying attention to stuff like this.
But weak players are not gonna be aware about hero noticing their time tells, i have had some soulreads from time tells, and 3bet them everytime and it worked 100% vs weak players HU, vs good regs did reverse tells (it worked when not abusing of it but sometimes i just did it too often and was caught
).
