Re: How did Matt Flynn know?
in the first hand he slightly hitched his head (somewhat helpful), made a rapid eye movement suggesting a big hand (very helpful), got relaxed moving his shoulders back slightly (also very helpful) and had no fear at all when he asked whether i had a set of aces (also helpful). plus over the hour i had seen no duplicity in his mannerisms. Cero was also reading him well.
in the old man hand he had every mannerism you could imagine for someone trying to look confident and it seemed like an acting job. had he not been experienced with banter he may have given away his hand by his response to my question. i am not kidding when i say had he been 50 i would have called.
you will, of course, try to dissemble when you play live. chances are you will do it the same way most newer players do and thus be readable.
