Poker Tells That Can Give You Away

by Thomas Kearns

As a poker player you should be well-versed in the art of body language as it can reveal much about your opponents’ intentions. With careful observation, you can discern whether a person is out to make love to you or to lop your head off.

Observing the body language of poker players, one can detect their “tells.” A tell is simply a repetitive signal given by a player disclosing his current hand and motives. It is important to relate the body language reading to the total environment with the same gestures being made over and over in distinct situations. Gestures such as playing with chips before a move to frighten you to check will reveal the opponents hand (even partially) to the table as well as his thought patterns.
