Thanks for the article!

I've been playing more live tournaments lately and I've noticed a lot of the time you can identify how experienced players are by how they handle their chips.

Some of the more experienced players will even shuffle their chips and generally bet and raise effortlessly.

If you haven't played much in a live setting it takes a while to get used to cutting out bets or even putting out your blinds/antes.

This doesn't mean these are necessarily bad players (since they could normally play online), but less experience means they may give off other information later.

You will also see a lot of weak = strong (and vice versa) tells in the live tournaments. Re-raising very quickly pre-flop with medium-strength hands to appear stronger than they are is fairly common. Looking away from the table and feigning interest after putting in a big raise is a pretty big red flag.

I agree that all tells are player-dependent. I would add they should rarely be the only deciding factor in how you play a hand.

If you think you've picked something up on someone, try to confirm it by seeing what they show down (or if they fold). Then this can factor into your decisions if you see it in future hands.

As for an online tell, weaker players often make bets that risk too much and accomplish very little. There are times when you should deviate from standard bet-sizes but generally they are the standard for a reason. ;)

Good luck! :D
