Poker is a game of people played using the instrument of playing cards. A tell is a behaviour that shows the relative strength of an opposing player’s hand. If you participate in web poker, familiar tells are comprised of wagering patterns and time to take action. Real life poker at the brick and mortar casino provides a better opportunity to identify tells. Accompanying time tells and wagering patterns, players have body tells. Individuals often give away the strength of their hand through body language, movements of their eyes, heart rates, and the tennor of their voice. Poker is a game of emotion and a lot of gamblers cannot control their emotions when money is involved. In order to identify a tell you have to accurately pay attention to your opponents on every single hand. Look for any type of wagering sequence or physical tell that correlates with the strength of their cards. If an opponent consistently takes deep breaths when he has a huge hand, that’s a tell for absolute strength. If an opposing player consistently wagers his weak hands with a flick of his wrist, that is their tell for absolute weakness.

Tells allow you to see further than your own hand and into your opponent’s mind. Concentrate on all the things that your opponent does while she gambles in a hand and try to link each play to a given strength of their cards. With the ability to acquire tells on your competitor, the playing cards really do not matter. If your opponent shows you that he is weak, you are able to raise them with any hand with the knowledge that he will fold. If your competitor shows you that they are strong, you’ll be able to drop out on very strong hands. There is a lot more to poker than just the cards you’re dealt. Focus on your competitor’s body language and your winnings will soar.
