Re: What is your most reliable tell?
I don't play brick & mortar anymore, but a very reliable one was when my opponent scrunched around in his seat and leaned forward, he usually had a very strong hand.

Re: What is your most reliable tell?
I like the deep stare down for beginners, thats an easy tell that theyre weak or the lean back in the chair for when theyre strong...

Re: What is your most reliable tell?
Players checking their hole cards is usually pretty accurate, especially on suited boards, but it can go the other way too if an opponent is trying to look weak. Also I like to look at the players after the flop. Depending on the player, people usually look away pretty fast if they have a hand, and stare at the flop when they have a weak hand. I think they're double checking to see if they have any straight or flush possibilities.

From recreational players, new players I watch more for the way they bet their chips (nicely stacked, or thrown out in a mess). This is a good tell to get the strength of their hand. Lawrence |

Re: What is your most reliable tell?
The funniest tell I've ever seen in my life was when I was playing one day and the hand got heads up. A very solid player who's in our regular game and a complete donk who is still kinda new to poker.
The river card fell and the donk looked at his hand and checked it again to make sure and then all of a sudden went "what tha..!" and completely fell backwards on his chair and landed on the floor. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] LOL!!! the whole table went completely crazy. The other player looked at his hand and thought about it for a LONG time but had to call to see what he had. Turned out the donk hit his inside gut card for a royal flush. LOL. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: What is your most reliable tell?
One tell that I find very reliable is if a player is singing, humming, whistling, or anything of that nature, they are probably bluffing. I've heard even Jack Strauss had this tell. Also, just watching a person's facial expressions for either happiness or disappointment is generally a good tell among casual players. Looking at or moving towards chips indicates strength, but other times it may only indicate a bluff coming up. Moving to fold cards will mean weakness from a bad player, but could be an act if a good player is doing it. Shaking hands is reliable because it's an involunary act.
