Albeit cheesy, the best way to get better at tells is to deal poker. If you pay attention, you can watch and learn all you want.
I was in Vegas in June, and played with a bunch of dealers during the daytime. Befriending these guys was very valuable, as they have had so much practice watching all sorts of players all day. They can peg people on hands after playing with them for 30 minutes.
One hand in 1/2 NL at the Alladin, this dealer who was playing next to me called this guy down after two $20 bets...with a pair of 2's 7 kicker. On the river after the second $20 bet. He said non-chalantly "you missed your draw", I have deuces." And the guy was exactly right and took down the pot. F-ing blew me away...
