A word of caution to those looking for tells, this only works on fish! An experienced player will not have any consistency with his body language, either instinctually or conciously. Any of you wanna try reading Daniel Neg, or Juanda, or even the solid player in your home game?

The best thing about body language is that an observant mind records it, and filters it with other information (betting patterns) to give provide you with a 'gut feel', this is also described as intuition.

In short, there are no 'rules' with tells, they have been dramaticized since damon did the judges and the taj scenes in Rounders. Betting patterns are where its at.

Of course if a fish does have some iron clad tell, use it.
