Picking up tells takes practice. You can't just read Caro’s book and be an exhalant physical tell... You can watch the videos I have in my link 1000 times and still miss some tells... I think Phil Ivey has the best eyes for seeing tells he is always darting them around looking at everyone... you can actually get a tell of someone easier if they are not in the hand because they let there guard down a lot... if you are an export at read people body language honestly you could play an entire game not looking at your cards and come out ahead... I don't suggest trying this unless you are prepared to trust your reads 100% and you have some money to swing a bit...

In a live game physical tells become more important, though betting patterns and things that you would use online should also be used...
