Default 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?

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..

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

You have to be careful with this one. It only indicates how strong they think their hand is, not how strong it actually is. I've seen a new player tremble like that pre-flop with KJo in early position.

If it's a really new player I don't think it means anything.
When I went to Vegas last year it was my first time in a B&amp;M room and I think that I had a trembling hand every time I put in a bet for the first week, no matter what I had.

Yeah, I had this in my first few sessions. I found it real embarrassing, as I was only playing 2/4. Shaky hands when calling $2 is really lame...
