[QUOTE="hjr999, post: 1696011, member: 78744"]
I watched Negreanu the other day practicing some heads-up online.  A  player got in line, sat down and started min raising.  Negreanu typed in  the chat box, "oh I can't play any min raisers right now."  He told him the reason was because he was practicing  for isildur1.  I'm assuming he wanted aggressive competition for practice, so I think  he knows what he's up against.

Also, Danny has a great knack for live poker tells simply by talking his  opponents to death, but you'll see that guys like Ivey and Antonius  barely extract information via physical tells.  Straight from  Negreanu's book [I]Hold'em Wisdom[/I], "The truth is, an elite poker  player doesn't focus much on body language.  Instead, he tries to  understand how you think based on the hands you play and how you play  them.  He isn't looking for some obscure nostril flare or eye twitch to  make a decision, but you can bet he's delving into his memory bank and  comparing notes from previous hands. ...So, those physical tells that  television commentators like to go on about are for the most part a  bunch of hogwash!  Watch me on television and you'll see that I make all  kinds of strange faces.  Good luck trying to figure out what they  mean."

Except if it's Tilly. lol, her chest rises up and down:
