Can you spot Jesus' tell?

NicolasWSOP · Jan 23, 2010

I was looking around on youtube for some cool poker videos, and I found this one involving Chris Ferguson, and I thought that it was very interesting.

YouTube- Can you spot Jesus' tell?

moeraj · Jan 24, 2010

I think the point of the video is that he plays all his hands using the same body language so there is no tell.

He leads with his shoulder in the AA hand!

thats easy. The hand where he has Aces, it says he has aces. The hand he's bluffing it says he's bluffing. The hand he's drawing, it says he's drawing. Geez can't u people read..........

Watching that video is an excellent way of learning to conceal tells. Just don't use it to try and learn to spot tells.

With that being said, live players generally suck at spotting tells and mislead themselves at every possible opportunity so unless you're playing high stakes, don't bother imitating Chris Ferguson.

He did put his chips out faster with Aces...

He actually does, he almost snapped his hand out there when he had the aces.

Joe Navarro says he spotted tells on Chris in his book with Helmuth.

That's a great video clip. Jesus certainly shows dedication, because there's few of us who could do this. While it's easy to think about replicating, pulling it off is another thing. Go Ferguson!

With the Aces he hides a little more of his face. His hand covers a little more of his nose. Bluffing he is looking straight ahead. The draw he is looking a little to his left his face is a little to the left also. We would need more videos to see if it remains the same. Also you cant see the way he puts his chips in or if he plays with them first. Three hands will never allow you to pick out tell get alot more. Nice video.

Mortis · Jan 25, 2010

With his Aces, he kind of tosses the chips. The bluff and draw, he sets the chips down.

bilgert · Jan 25, 2010

I agree with Mortis- his chip motion is slightly more demonstrative when he has aces. Still, it's very subtle.

ChrisKub · Jan 25, 2010

On the flush draw it looks like he pushes his chips farther away from himself as if he doesn't expect to get them back.

a few have mentioned how he does little things with his aces..just remember, you probably seen that after watching it five times..and in real life, not only do you see it once, you also dont get to see it compaared to tohers..and if it didnt say aces, you wouoldnt know it was aces..

worditst · Jan 25, 2010

He's quicker when he has aces.. but that's really hard to get a tell from. How does he do that..? EVERY HAND
