This is important. You can usually spot the sharks at the table and if THEY act like they don't know exactly what they are going to do when it's their turn, it's typically a ruse. If you have a big hand, or plan on bluffing, there's always that wait time before a bet or check... acting at it's best. Watch out for it.
