Re: Having someone else study you for tells

In my experience, "looking" for a tell is more disastrous than beneficial.

And sometimes it's the opposite...
One time at some game some years ago (specifics ahoy!) there was this guy who always bet with his left hand and always turned up the goods. One time he was in a hand with me betting with his right hand -- I called him down with third pair because I knew this other hand was bluffing ... but I wasn't confident enough to raise (especially if I'm right, then he's not calling). Sure enough, I picked off the guy, and he went bananas that I called him down with such garbage (and I was VERY weak tight, so most knew I never did this) and he insisted that I tell him...
I was about to leave and didn't care so I told him that he was betting with the other hand.
He went further bananas and showed that he had a drink in his other hand that I guess I hadn't noticed.
Ooops.
Telling tales of tells indeed.
