Live tells can include tics, twitches, deep or heavy breathing, voice pitch, voice volume, frequency of vocal contact, a person who may have previously been quiet may talk more when they had a good hand, or were bluffing, or vice versa may suddenly talk less. Visible tells can include sweating and signs of tension. Speed of decision making is another.

Always be careful when reading tells. A player may be feigning weakness in order to get more chips from their opponent or feigning strength to hide a weak hand.

Be careful when making notes about opposition players online. Twice last week I had players who according to my notes were 'bluffers' or 'donkeys' and it turned out they were carrying the mutt's nuts. Just because a player bluffed you with crap before in the past, doesn't mean they always have crap.

A main tell online is the speed (or lack of) with which they play their hand. But again, nothing is set in stone.

Betting pattern is possibly the best way of reading an opponents cards, but again, that can be disguised or used to mislead.

Murky waters, is the old bluffing game.
