You stress that it is important to raise pots that you have decided are worth playing, in order to narrow the field and gain information.   If there are one or more players at the table who reraise all-in to discourage this action, they now have the advantage and you are left with deciding whether or not to go with a coin flip.  If they commonly do this, how can you best take advantage of this behavior?

You've noted that Professor Birdwhistell says that 50% of all human communication is nonverbal.   It is easy to see how this can be helpful face-to-face at poker tables.   What is available in online poker besides a player's time-to-act, which may be influenced by a network delay or even by a simple interruption on the other players part that is unknown to you?    Is a quick time-to-act a more reliable indicator than a slow time-to-act?   Are there any other clues you can use?
