| Live game speech tells When playing live and are forced with a tough decision against villian, i.e. you got 4bet pre by a tight player while you hold KK, facing a big reraise with 2nd or 3rd nuts, etc. And while you are in the tank, villian says, "I'll show if you fold." Or, if you ask villian if he will show if you fold and he replies, "yes".. Or something similar... Do you interpret that as a strong hand most of the time? What has your experience been? |

| More often than not, it indicates that the villian has a strong hand. Not too often will they do this with a bluff because you would get a huge read on them. However, I would pay more attention to the board and betting than verbal jabs by the other players... Although I have used a bit of acting to get a fish to shove all-in with a flush draw and paired board (I had a full house). I rarely, if ever show live without being required to. Anybody asks me to show, I usually just shrug and tell them if they want to see my cards, they have to pay for the priviledge (win or lose). |

| The more you talk, the more information you give to your opponent, I laugh when people show me their hands, cuz all you have to do is just analyse their betting patterns with the hands they showed you and sooner or later you ll catch em. I never ever show my hands whether its a live or online game. theres absolutely no good that can come out of it in my opinion. It would be interesting to know what others think. |

| "I'll show if you fold" can go either way. In fact because it's a common line that seems to have started as meaning they've got a hand can be so easily flipped over to mean the opposite, it's poker, that's what people do, they try to conceal information. If it's easy to manipulate, ignore it. That's not to say no verbal tells are worth listening to, if there are inconsistancies in what someone says in various situations, if their tone of voice is different, the direction their head is facing when they say something, it's all worth being aware of. It's the same with visual tells, as an example deep breathing is such a reliable indicator against someone in their first live game because it's so basic yet after they've played a session or two it's the LEAST reliable tell because it's so easy to manipulate and every half-decent reg, even some terrible regs, have learned to turn it around. |
