Why did you write about this topic? Just because I knew I could write a significantly better book than anyone yet written. And because I've always been interested in it, for more than ten years now.
Do you have a favourite player? No, not really.
Is there a difference between men and women in regard to poker tells? Haven't noticed one, but that could be just due to not playing many women ever.
How do you handle tilt? Do you take a break or continue playing? I continue playing, but I wouldn't recommend that. I have leaks...
Do you play in Las Vegas a lot? No. Only been a handful of times. Plan on getting out there for some action this year though.
Do you write about other topics besides poker? No, not really. This is my first book. Maybe my only one. I would like to one day write a novel though. And I do have an original sitcom idea and a couple episode scripts if there's an agent reading this.
Did somebody help you to write this book or did you do it on your own? I did it myself but got my wife, who's a writer, to proofread it and edit it.
In your opionion, which are the most obvious poker tells and which ones are hard to figure out? See my previous answer about the most useful tells.
Are you good at bluffing or can your opponents tell easily that you are bluffing? Good bluffing is mainly about choosing your spots very carefully to know when your opponent is likely to perceive your hand range as quite strong and/or when you know your opponent's hand range is likely on the weaker side. Or when you just know your opponent is not one to make big calls without big hands.
Tells can have an influence in giving you a clue into the fact that your opponent is not comfortable or not wanting to call a bet, but for the most part bluffing should be based on fundamental hand-reading ability and playing styles IMO.
