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.
