I think that it’s good to beware of of tells but at the same not to use them as exact information because as good as you think your read is, you’re working with limited information. Tells are more useful when you have played with your opponents regularly over many sessions or in many tournaments. I have found especially live at 1/2 - 1/3 or in weekly casino tournaments with buyins from $40 - $200 people tend to put too much emphasis on physical tells and don’t think about how the hand was played. I good example of this was last week I was playing 1/3 at a casino I haven’t been to for a little over a year so I definitely haven’t played enough with any of the players for them to have credible reads on me. So in a multi way pot that I flopped open ended, I check-called flop and turn, then lead about 75% pot on the river when I hit my straight and I got snap called by the aggressor in the hand because when I lead I was thinking about check raising river and even started to make a checking motion and the stopped and made the bet because I thought that a medium strength top pair might check back and wouldn’t call a check-raise. My opponent saw it as weakness and didn’t think about his decision snapped and mucked. If he had thought about his decision and had been paying attention during previous hands he may have came to a different conclusion, since about 30min earlier I had taken the exact same line in a very similar situation.
