There are two tells I have found for myself on two seperate occasions both of which are so ambigious and subtle that I am not sure they are really tells.

I was at a home game, and I was dealing. I was watching the man across from me as i dealt and I noticed the slightest most subtle smirk or "smile" I've ever seen. i looked down at the cards and the middle card, (the card i was lying down when i noticed it.) was an 8. I followed up and sure enough he had that 8.

The other one was with a friend that I have ALOT of trouble with. I noticed his eyes become slightly wider (and I mean I wouldn't have noticed if I was incredibly focused on him at the time.) on the turn. He made his flush on the turn and won that pot.


Are these tells valid? They seem SO subtle to me that it seems they may just be coincidences.

Both tells seem to be good.

One of the reasons so many pros wear dark glasses is to hide their eyes.

you usually arent going to find major tells, its the subtle tells that you are looking for. What you have pointed out are good tells, keep with them and see if they surface again.

i found from my experience that the eyes and fingers are what you need to look at alot of games ive played in people either double take at a card that makes their flush and there hands shakes while they bet a monster
