What is your most reliable tell?

Not betting patterns, not "weak means strong and strong means weak" or any other vague generalization.

What observable physical behavior reveals the most information about the strength or weakness of your opponent's hand?

Whenver I get pocket Aces, Steam comes out of my ears and my head starts to autorotate. Other than that I am pretty tell clean...

idk my tells but from others when an opponent pushes his chips into the pot with a little extra emphasis they are week

I do this sometimes w/ weak hands as well, because sometimes I have the trembling problem as well.

So other than that and the Spinning head thing, I'm pretty good to go..

when they have a strong hand. I have seen even very good opponents do this.

shaking hands meaning strength - I've noticed myself shaking on huge pots online when I have a monster, and playing NL live opening a pot for a raise, if you see someone preparing to reraise with shaking hands, they love their hand - they are shaking with the anticipation of winning a huge pot mixed with the fear of the horrible beat they may end up taking

Definitely. Probably the only one I'll trust the first time I see a player demonstrate it.

Trembling hand is a good one- I have a weirder one though- the vein in my neck goes crazy when im on a ridiculous bluff or have something huge- need to control that.

The most reliable tell is when you look left and see that someone is about to muck.
