There's so many things wrong with this I don't even know where to start :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: 
 
First of all, we're talking about players that are good at [B]concealing[/B] tells and what we can learn from them.  Not [I]"When Gus Hansen jiggles his feet he totally has aces and you should totally fold your kings when you're playing him next week[/I]".
 
Second, nobody's claiming that tells can tell you the difference between someone holding aces and queens.
 
Third, FWIW I think the whole Oreos thing in [I]Rounders[/I] was inane.
 
Fourth, to the implication that pros don't have tells, the evidence states otherwise.  Phil Hellmuth admits to having them exposed on TV, and the presence of tells in pros is something that keeps guys like Joe Navarro in a job.
 
Are they the whole game?  Hell no.  But if you play live and ignore them, you undoubtedly do so to your detriment - you'd be better off staying behind your computer monitor.
 
Now, back to the topic.  Who's got any thoughts on the Unified Phil Laak theory, or other pros whose tell-concealing behaviour we could learn from?
