Looking for Tells

A tell is a hint that a player gives you as to what the strength of his hand may be — either through the way he bets or the way he physically behaves around the table. Successfully interpreting the tells of your opponents will make a huge difference in any given session you have at a Poker table.

Watching the right place at the right time

It almost goes without saying that in order to watch for tells in the first place, you need to be watching people. This tends to be easiest to do when you’re not playing in a hand, but rather just sitting back and taking it all in. Although the other players not in the hand are watching television or reading the sports pages, you should be keeping an eye on your opponents. See how they face each other and how they react as they win or lose, bet or fold.

You’ll likely pick up more watching the table when you’re not involved in the hand because you don’t have that evil mix of paranoia combined with overconfidence or underconfidence that’s present when it’s your money on the line.

Also, you need to get out of the habit of immediately looking at your cards as soon as they’re dealt, as well as the community cards as they’re exposed. Instead you should watch the players around the table and see how they react as they see the cards for the first time. (By waiting until it’s your turn to look at your hole cards, you also avoid creating a tell on yourself — see Book 3, Chapter 7 for more.)
