Do Tell

[oddjob]

in keeping with the tells discussion, i thought it'd be interesting to discuss tells you've caught yourself doing and have fixed or are trying to fix. this might help each other fix tells we didn't think we had.

for me, i have a habit of playing with my chips, shuffling them and whatnot, on the table, in one hand, in both hands. i try hard not to do this when i'm in a hand, but sometimes when i'm thinking i find myself doing so. now i know that when i know i'm calling i don't do this, or when i know i'm folding i don't do this, but when i'm contemplating something i haven't made a decision on yet, i'll play with my chips as people wait for me to act. i don't know what kind of information i'm giving up, but i know it can't be good. i've been trying to stop myself from doing this.

one i've fixed, is acting so fast when i have it. i'll be so quick to call or raise, that people know i've got it. now i try to act as fast as i can regardless.

anyone else?
