You’re in a hand, heads up with a player that just bet the river and you have a tough call. The player then says, “If I were you, I’d fold”. Believe him and fold. I’m not sure why they do this. I suspect it’s the same as declaring your opponents 4 foot putt good. They hope for the same courtesy. If you do call, they will show the nuts and say I told you. But, In fact, when people talk, it’s usually to get you to call.
Here is a list of some of my favorite lines. These are issued by regulars and tourist alike.


Oh, just two of us, I bet!


How much can I bet/raise?


I don’t think you have it so I bet (Have what, nobody said anything).


Its only $4 more!


Bet or raise way out of turn. They can’t control their excitement. Funny, you will often see the opposite when someone has a bad hand. They may fold out of turn wanting to get rid of it as soon as possible.


When I have a hand, I might say, I’ll try $4 or I’ll gamble $4. So, if you’re in hand against me and say that, if I were you, I’d fold!


Any others?

dont trust what people say at tables is normaly acting reverse psychology or reverse reverse psychology and its for deception but you dont know what one they are using, its better to look for phisiological tells like if some lightly sighs, leans backwards, starts mildly trebbeling, these work much better to get a read.

Some of the people also try to get you angry I guess. By insulting/cursing towards the other players. Sometimes I notice that certain speaking of a player can get me a bit angry in the background, and might be a seed to play different than my normal play against that player. Like you want to get quick rid of him and play more aggressive. I assume that the player wants this because this might be qualilty of playing against aggresive players. Im aware of this influencing and it seems that I'm be more capable to cope with this.

I generally just make the decision I was going to make before they talked but I agree talking is generally a sign that they are comfortable and want you to call.

I was playing on Black Chip Poker yesterday and one guy said I guess my AA is no good. He shoved and two people called... he had AA LOL
