Some of the most reliable "tells" happen in a place that poker players rarely pay attention to: under the table. It is up to a certain point simple to avoid that the face and the upper part of the body betray us with sudden movements, but the legs usually have a life of their own. The next time you are involved in a huge boat with someone, take a discreet look at the way in which your lower extremities behave. If everything remains calm, you can assume that the player is relaxed, calm and that, probably, he is telling the truth with his game. If the legs are shaken up and down like a puppet with its strings, it means that something does not fit. Either he has a problem controlling the emotion of having the best hand, or he is stressed because he is throwing a big bluff. It is up to you to decide which is which, but once you know that you have this tendency, your decision making should be simplified.

Legs are very difficult to see to get any useful information. He may even be giving you disinformation

Props, that is an excellent handicapping point. It is also a great indicator that now more than ever is time to take advantage of being able to process all these concepts and tools, while it is just a matter of time when teams of scouts, technology will form and in the hands of any very capable player(s) it will greatly unbalance the game against the instinctual "joes", "janes" at the tables.

But beware in a tournament..... A player might just need to pee, but won't leave the table before the break......

Not to mention that looking under the table a lot may get you in trouble, depending. Like if the dealers girlfriend/wife is sitting across from you.

Who cares what they think, tell them you have a foot fetish if you get caught looking. :)

Good advice. I also think that it could be applicable mostly to novice players. When we are before more experienced players can make us believe so that we fall into their traps and thus be able to win. We must know to which rival we face and observe every detail. Regards!

Interesting. How not to show your emotions and simultaneously look at your aponents from head to toe? I think the glasses are not the solution.
Still, it does not happen that a person jerkeds his foot, but at the same time his upper body remained absolutely motionless. I think the posture is more eloquent. Unconscious changes in posture are often good messages. Depending on whether the player is tense or relaxed.
