Just reading at the moment, thought Id share these with ye. They me laugh as well as educating me.
Mike Caros tells and phychology,
NEVER CRITICIZE WEAK OPPONENTS FOR BAD PLAYERS - it makes them uncomfortable and motivates them to play better.
NEVER COMPLIMENT WEAK OPPONENTS FOR GOOD PLAYS - it makes them uncomfortable and motivates them to play better.
NEVER DISCUSS STRATEGY AROUND WEAK OPPONENTS - it makes them aware there is strategy worth discussing.
PLAYERS WHO JUST SAT DOWN OR JUST GOT EVEN - are easier to bluff and less likely to plAY weak hands.
PLAYERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THERE BAD LUCK SELDOM BLUFF - so seldom call
YOUR OPPONENTS HAVE A CALLING REFLEX - and they will call anything that moves. When you have a great hand and your opponent is about to fold, do something to get his attention like knock something over, you never know he might just call
A SUDDENLY SHAKING HAND - almost never indicates a bluff.
A PLAYER WHO ISNT BREATHING - Is probably bluffing!
PLAYERS SUCKING CANDY OR CHEWING GUM - often stop sucking or chewing when they bluff.
SHRUGS, SIGHS, AND SAD SOUNDS - indicate strong hands.
LISTEN CAREFULLY WHEN AN OPPONENT SAYS THE WORD "BET" - if it sounds sad or reluctant, you're facing a strong hand.
DON'T WATCH THE FLOP - watch your opponents watch the flop.
OPPONENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO FLOD IF THEY ARE -
looking at chips,
reaching toward chips,
conspicuously staring at you.
OPPONENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BET OR RAISE IF THEY ARE -
ignoring chips,
ignoring cards, staring away,
especially quite or still.
A TELL IS JUST ANOTHER FACTOR TO CONSIDER - and it needs to be weighed along with all other factors.
WHEN YOU INTEND TO CALL RELUCTANTLY - dont discourage the bet, dont let them know you would rather they didnt bet, always be confident with your calls.
HOW TO MAKE ANY POKER BULLY BEG FOR MERCY -
call more often,
raise less often,
seldom value bet.
For a more indept theory - super systems two by Doyle Brunson.
