Message: [QUOTE="Four Dogs, post: 6966274, member: 2668"] [LIST] [*]Bet sizing. Most people tend to bet big when strong and small when weak. I do this too but it's usually done exploitatively. [*]The speech. One of the oldest tells going all the way back to Mike Caro is Strong means weak and weak means strong. Personally I think the first one applies more than the second. Whenever someone says something like. "Ok. I'll play this one just cause I want to see a flop" or " I'm ready to go home" my spidey senses start tingling [*]I don't think most physical tells are very useful, the bead of sweat or the pulsating carotid vein, but one that I've seen several times and has always meant a strong hand is the Happy Feet. When someone puts a big bet in and they're legs start jumping under the table it's a sign that they're excited and they are never bluffing! Most recreational players just lock down when they're bluffing. They don't do anything or say anything that will bring attention to themselves. [*]It used to be common wisdom not to look at your cards until it's your turn to act and that's still good advice if your not disciplined enough to keep from tipping your hand, but many players aren't, they reach for chips or they hover their cards waiting to muck. Keep an eye out for this. It happens all the time. [*]Announcing a specific hand or announcing that they're strong. Unlike the first example. This strong talk actually does mean they're strong. "Don't call, I got the nuts". or even something like "I have Queens". I guess most people don't mind getting caught bluffing but they don't want to get caught actually lying about their hand.
