Default Re: Avoiding tells in live tournaments

[ QUOTE ]
I personally find that trying to hide tells by acting motionless doesn't work well for me. I have much more fold equity when I'm talking and smiling. I'm always careful to treat my opponents like my friends when they ask for chipcounts and stuff. I think this gives me more fold equity against people who are looking for these kind of things. If nothing else, it gives me something to think about during the rather awkward waiting period.

I guess that's OK if it works for you, but I am not always looking for a fold. I think it is better to sit motionless and silent regardless whether I am bluffing or have the nuts. Why give any information?
