During my last session, I noticed one player holding his breath every time he bluffed — it worked great! What's the biggest physical cue you've heard at your desk?

Looking at the blind clock to know exactly how much to bet when they have a hand. I caught them not looking a couple of times and picked off a bluff on them once.

When the flop is revealed and someone quickly glances at their hole cards,
there’s a good chance they hit something or picked up some kind of draw.

My favorite tell is playing with someone that preloads their chips ready to make a call way before it even gets to them. It’s mostly old man coffee doing this.

Best one i've seen is not really a tel but a tel abuser.

Guy has Tourette's, shouts his hands sometimes, pressure spots kill this guys action alot but the most clever thing i've seen is that he started to work with it and fake out some "tics" and i just seem him absolutely destroy people trying to take advantage, it was art.
