tells

[greatwhite]

Can people list all the tells they notice here. Please be serious!Hopefully this will help everyone on 2+2 incorporate what people do in their game.

i know of a player who likes to look at the dealer on the flop if it doesn"t help his hand. oh, i raise!

When someone scratches his buttox exactly 7 times, hes bluffing.

You know, I think Mike Caro more or less dedicated his life to something like this.

If someone craps his pants, reaches down for a handful, smears it all over his chest and says, "mister, will you help my pony", well, I'm not sure what that means. I've never actually seen that happen. I'm guessing it would mean he's bluffing, but, he could have the nuts.

The time this happened to me, it never went to showdown. I had the nuts, and no-one wanted to help my pony...

I listen for low stakes players saying stupid sh-- like: "I'm making a donation to the pot...or One more time."
I find that they are usually drawing...
No brainer I guess...but I'm torn between listening to my MP3 player and listening to everything these yahoos have to say.

If a guy reaches into his pants in the middle of hand, he's probably holding the nuts. Fold your hand and leave the table immediately.

These are tells I've observed that indicated the player had a good hand--but they're specific to the player:

(1) player called with one hand and raised with the other whenever she had a strong hand
(2) player repeatedly shuffled one card over the other on the table with his fingertips if he had a pocket pair
(3) player impulsively looked at his chips on the flop before checking if he had a strong draw

Apparently, I'm a heavy breather when I have a strong hand--but don't use that against me. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

One player based tell. This specific player I often play against in live games goes lil red and eyes start blinking very fast after he hits a massive hand, i.e flopping the nut flush...

Dunno if he knows about it.
