Can people list all the tells they notice here. Please be serious!Hopefully this will help everyone on 2+2 incorporate what people do in their game.

Just a few observations from live play experience. As mentioned already, it is ALWAYS player dependent, so the first hour of the session is crucial that you pay attention.
1. There's this regular very bad player in my game who is a calling station. I noticed that the longer he takes in calling your bet (any street), the weaker his hand is. He'll do the same on the river with a raise, when it's obvious to me he should have folded.
2. There's a good, tight player I know who protects his cards with a chip pf before it's his action. He's about to raise. I mentioned that to him recently and he's been working on countering that. Even the good players will miss their own tells, including myself.
3. With most average players, if the flop/turn/river hits his hand fairly well and he checks, there's almost always a very slight motion to reach for his chips prior to the check.
4. There is this one player who splashes his call when he's drawing or his hand is weak, but if he bets/calls with a more methodical motion, his hand is strong. Be careful with this one, I mix up my calls on purpose, so be sure how the person plays before judging this tell.
5. A player betting out of turn is usually indicative of a good hand.
