Any time someone mini-raises preflop, I can be pretty sure that s/he is a bad player. That tells me to avoid stealing his/her blind too much later in the game.

People that limp in the SB after it's folded around to them and then auto-min-bet have nothing.

I don't agree, although its likely

Newbspotting:
- Minraising
- Direct allins in early rounds
- Open raise like 200 on level 1

Beyond this tells have less value in SNGs I think. Allin/fold poker is more about hand-ranges

More specifically, long ass stall, all in = nuts.

I find it very hard to put into text the tells I see. Most come with betting patterns and time it takes them to act.

My brain intuitivly reacts to them, but honestly I couldnt tell you many. Play and play and play and play. You will see what I mean.

I find this to be false when the push is preflop UTG from a short stack.

I realize some of these aren't strict behavioral tells, but rather just playing patterns that I try to pick up on in the first 3 levels:

- How much players bet in relation to the pot post flop.
- Rough percentage of hands played (limping, especially) in relation to the blinds.
- Any chat whining about some "bully" stealing blinds.
- Table coaching chat.
- Berating chat.
- Feeble attempts to double up or get ahead really early.
- "I got first place here yesterday"

i agree with this one. especially in the early levels. They don't seem to understand that they are just building a bigger pot for the inevitable set that I'm going to flop.

utg or EP miniraises when the blinds are big (100/200 or bigger) almost always mean AA\kk.
