I think body tells (eyes, mouth, breathing, etc) can be easy to fake and are sometimes unreliable.  When I look for tells on people, I look to something that they're probably not consciously paying attention to.

For example what a player does after they look at their cards.  At a home game, there is a player who does one of three things after she looks at her cards.  She never waits, she looks at them as soon as she gets them.  If she is going to fold, she puts her cards next to her stack.  If she is going to call, she puts one chip on her cards.  If she is going to raise, she puts her hole stack on her cards and takes from the top.

Sometimes they way people bet when they're bluffing or have a strong hand will change and can be a good tell.  I picked up a self tell when I was playing and realized that if I'm bluffing, i'll take a stack, count out a bet in stacks of four, restack, count out again, restack, then slide the chips in.  If I have a made hand, I count out a bet in stacks of four, restack once, then bet.  I'm right handed, so now I just do all my betting with my left hand and try to keep everything as similar as possible.
