I use the second hand on my watch to help with mixed strategies; sometimes using it to inform size of raise, or the direction of raise/fold, raise/call, and (rarely) call/fold decisions.

As such, if you happen to notice me look at my watch, you can deduce I might be raising, or calling, or folding, with a strong, weak, or medium hand that is already made, or on the come; or that I am interested in the time for a reason such as wondering how long i've taken, how long i've been at the table, if i need to leave, if a new dealer might sit and collect time soon, or something else.

I get that you're a pedant who wants to be right; but it's not a remotely useful tell unless the person does it only in one type of situation. but nobody who is concerned about how well they mix a mixed strategy is dumb enough to mix only _one_ strategy.

edit: and i'm not a pro. i play in mid-stake games with $1-5k buy-ins.

Apparently you're also a pedant who wants to be right.
