I wait until it is my turn, unless I am giving a fake tell.

I look at them whenever I want, right away, wait a little, or wait til my bet. Most tables I play at have good players, the way I like it, dead pan faces, or fake tells are the norm. Nothing to learn from watching. I let the players represent their hands as play goes on, those are the only "tells" that I trust

I look directly, the benefit consists that so far before me make the decision, I have time to deliberate as how further to arrive

It depends on my position at the table. Obviously, when under the gun, you must look quickly to keep the game moving. If I am in the big blind, I take my time and look around, but usually look before the last minute. As others have mentioned in this thread, the longer you wait, the more chance everyone is watching you. So the question is; do you get more info watching others, or can they get more info watching you?

I first take a look at my cards quickly and then start watching the moves of opponents then. I see you are giving raise, who is limping. But in general always look my letters first.

I try to take cards after the other players. Watch the emotions. Hide their emotions.

First look the reaction of every player as they look at their cards, finally when is my turn I look at my cards but still keep watching reactions from the rest of the players.

That first reaction is very important to play in live Poker. :deal:

Prefer to wait for their turn, and then only to watch their cards. But sometimes there is a desire to go all-in without seeing my cards - but that's another story:confused:.

When is my turn to act. First: for missing any information and Second: Is for make sure my decision is about how and who raise the pot and who limp at wich position. Hand can my hand call that hand or not . Thats it for me.

i look at my first card as soon as i get it and then look at my second as soon as i get it. then i watch the others amd start thinking about what i am going to do so when it is my turn i act quickly. i believe this accomplishes a few things. it gives me time to think about my move without eberyone looking at me. it speeds up play, which is good. and if i do give away any tells, then people won't see them because i have already looked at my cards.

If you play at multiple tables at once decide whether to play the hand or not, because I do not like to play at multiple tables because I can not follow the game opponents.

All right. Their cards always have time to look. It is better to study the reaction of competitors. The knowledge of human psychology in poker is very important.

depending on position. look at first card. if no $ invested, card less than 10, I wont even look at second. fold at my action. hope someone catches the action. gives more tight empression.
