TELLS
GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY
ANXIOUS PEOLE ARE TENSE, TIGHTER
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
WAITING FOR ACTION TELLS
WEAKNESS
LOOKING AT YOU
WHEN IT IS YOUR TURN TO ACT, SOME OPPONENTS WILL TEND TO LOOK AT YOU MORE WHEN THEIR HANDS ARE WEAK
WHEN HE HAS A STRONG HAND HE WILL AVOID LOOKING AT YOU, AND LOOK AT THE TABLE OR ACROSS THE ROOM
-
MUTI-WAY SITUATION
IF YOU LOOK OUT AT THE TABLE AND SEE THAT ALL OF THE PLAYERS IN THE HAND ARE WATCHING YOU, WAITING FOR YOU TO ACT, THEN YOU SHOULD FEEL BETTER ABOUT RAISING
-
-
-
INDICATIND A FOLD
-
SOME WILL BLATANTLY HOLD THEIR CARDS WITH THEIR ARM EXTENDED, AS IF THEY'RE ABOUT TO TOSS THE CARDS IN THE MUCK
-
-
PLAYERS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE TRANSPARENT IN THEIR ACTUAL INTENTION TO FOLD BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE ANY IMMEDIATE BENEFIT TO CONTINUING TO APPEAR INTERESTED IN THE HAND
-
-
-
-
STRENGHT
-
LOOKING DISAPPOINTED
-
THIS CAN BE AN INSTINCT TO APPEAR SMALLER AND LESS THREATENING. IT IS COMMON TO SEE WHEN A PLAYER HOLDS A STRONG HANDS
-
RELAXED EYES
-
THE EYES OF SOMEONE WHO'S RELAXED WILL TEND TO BE MORE CLOSED, WITH LESS EYEBALL EXPOSED
A RELAXED PERSON HAVE THEIR EYES MOVING FREELY, WHILE AN ANXIOUS PERSON WILL HAVE A MORE FROZEN, SELF-CONSCIOUS GAZE
GLANCING AT CHIPS
-
THIS IS A REACTION FROM A PLAYER WHO REALIZES HE HAS A GOOD HAND AND THEN LOOKS TO CHECK ON HIS POTENTIAL PROFIT
-
PRE-LOADING CHIPS
-
MEDIOCRE PLAYERS ARE NOT AS CAREFUL ABOUT CONCEALING THEIR INTENTION TO BET OR RAISE, BECAUSE THERE IS NOT MUCH DIRECT BENEFIT TO HIDING THAT INFORMATION
-
DURING ACTION TELLS
BET-TIMING
-
A COMPLETE NOVICE TO POKER MIGHT INFER THAT A QUICK BET MEANS STRENGHT AND A BET THAT TAKES LONG TIME MEANS WEAKNESS OR INDECISION. BUT IN NH , WHERE THERE IS MORE VALUE TO DECEPTION, MEDIOCRE PLAYERS ARE MORE PRONE TO BET QUICKLY WHEN BLUFFING AND TO TAKE A LONGER TIME WHEN VALUE BETTING
A PLAYER THAT TAKES A LONG TIME BEFORE CHECKS IS TRYING TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT HE HAS THINGS TO CONSIDER
A PLAYER THAT CHECKS QUICKLY WITH GOOD AND BAD HANDS, IS STRIVING TO EQUALIZE HIS BEHAVIOR
THERE WILL BE PLAYERS WHO TRY TO INDUCE A FASE TELL, BY TAKING A LONG TIME TO CHECK WHEN WITH STRONG HANDS
SPEED OF CHECKING
SOME OPPONENTS WHO HOLD STRONG HANDS WILL CHECK QUICKLY TO THE RAISER, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO PREVENT THE RAISER'S NATURAL INCLINATION TO CBET
-
SPEED OF CALLING
CALLING A BET QUICKLY MEANS THAT THE PALYER HAS RULED OUT A RAISE AS THE BEST STRATEGY AND DONE SO QUICKLY
AN IMMEDIATE CALL OFTEN POINTS TO A DRAWING HAND THAT THE PLAYER HAS DECIDED IS OBVIOUSLY WORTH TAKING ONE OFF
-
-
-
-
ANNOUNCING A BET
-
MOST PEOPLE WHO ANNOUNCE THEIR SPECIFIC ACTION IN SITUATIONS WHERE IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO DO SO ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE STRONG HANDS
TONES OF VOCE
SOME PLAYERS, WHEN HOLDING A STRONG HAND, WILL TEND TO ANNOUNCE THEIR ACTIONS IN SAD TONES OF VOICE
-
BETTING IN THE DARK
PLAYERS WHO BET IN THE DARK, BEFORE THE NEXT ROUND OF CARDS COME, ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE STRONG THAN WEAK
MAKING SPEECHES
-
IF YOU'RE UP AGAINST A USUALLY QUIET OPPONENT WHO STARTS TO EXPLAIN WHY HE'S MAKING A BET AS HE PUSHES HIS CHIPS IN, THAT SHOULD SET OFF SOME WARNING BELLS
SHRUGGING AND
UNCERTAINTY
-
WHEN AN AVERAGE PLAYER DISPLAYS ANY GESTURE THAT IMPLIES INDECISION OR UNCERTAINTY, IT WILL TYPICALLY MEANS STRENGHT
