just a quick note: i think the person who said above that you can tell if someones bluffing from the way he blows out his smoke.... well, I think that person has been watching rounders too much

well, ive picked up on some tells people use in our regular home games - stacking his chips nicely just before he puts them in when he's bluffing, and another one is that this one person always does this particular chip trick when he's bluffing (im not the only one to have picked up this one).

Personally, i dont use to much energy trying to find tells, i concentrate on betting patterns and memorize how certain people play certain hands in certain situations.
An example could be player X might always raise 5x BB preflop woth bullets or kings, if he has suited connectors he might always raise 3xBB etc.
It's hard work. Gambling. Playing poker. Think about what it's like sitting at a poker table with people whose only goal is to cut your throat, take your money, and leave you out back talking to yourself about what went wrong inside.
