How can you tell a Poker Tell?


When you master Poker Tells, you master other players’ reactions. Poker tells can actually be more beneficial than cheating because it’s almost impossible to keep a true poker face and even if some players are able to conceal feelings and emotions, a lot of them forget that the body language matters as well.

So next time when you get the cards, hold your horses, try to look at the other players instead and spot poker tells. Your cards will be there later on, but some expressions and body language will be gone in a second.
  • The first and most obvious tell is the reversed tell. When an opponent plays strong, most chances are that he is weak. When your opponent plays weak – most chances he’s got a pretty strong hand.
  • Now take a look at the players around you. What they wear? Who they’re with? How they keep their cards and chips. Generally, a loose player will also appear loose, messy, have his chips all over and a tight player will have his chips stand like an army platoon.
  • In poker, people are shaking because they are excited and not because they are afraid. So if you see a player’s hand shaking, you can bet he’s got a good one.
  • Also notice that when players immediately look away from their cards, they often try to hide a good hand. And walk away if you see them stare at their chips – believe us, they are thinking about big money.
