Asking a player how many chips he has left. Is the classic question. Most inexperienced players cant hide there true emotion it seems like.

The tell I had a question on was when your faced with an all in...


You take your time calculate pot odds, strength of your hand and your opponents hand and think about his betting pattern but now you want to go a step further and pick up a feature that might indicate to you the strength of his hand.

After reading some post im now confused. I thought since a player is fidgety he is releasing tension and has a strong hand. If he is as still as a mouse he does not want to give you anything to feed off of and this might indicate he has a weak holding.

So like if I take my time and look for an expression from my opponent and he is tapping his finger and moving his body around I might consider that to be a strong hand.

If he is sitting there in freeze mode I might consider this to be a bluff.

If he is totally calm and relaxed and laid back I would also put him on a strong hand.

If he cant look me in the eyes he might have a strong hand.

I play with idiotic players and enjoy dominating them from time to time. I know these tells dont work with anyone else but begginers but youd be suprised how many begginers lack the knowledge of tells they are given off. Have I made any misstatements are is this list right on the money.
