Forum: Bonus Whores | A biggie you can almost always spot is right after they look at their cards, they glance at their chips right away, then back up. It's a fast subconscious tell, but it almost always indicates a monster. The young kids that love to bluff for that "rush" normally give it away by staring you down and trying to control their "rush" too hard. They become frozen most times, it's soooo funny and it makes me laugh everytime I see it. Cus when they suck out and land the nuts on the river they throw their heads back all casual like, "yea, that's how you play this fucking game sucker." Older guys I try to notice their shakes. Normally they slightly shake, when the shaking stops that's normally a giveaway. The biggest thing is to pay attention to the TAGs, you won't get a tell on them, but you can save a lot of money by avoiding them.
At the lower limits though the players are so bad it's really hard to ever be able to pick up anything other than monsters. They play T2 and KQ the same way because they shouldn't be playing either one to begin with. A set to most newbies in the card rooms I play in is only slightly better than midpair. Hell I had one chick who had never played O/8, it was me, her and some older guy. Everytime she picked up her hand I could see her cards, that's one helluva tell. Obviously I didn't look, but I pointed it out the next hand. She didn't care, and kept playing. It's not like it mattered she was runner-runnering boats like they were going outta style, 3 back to back IIRC. Also sunglasses indicates an idiot most times, that's the biggest tell I ever notice right away. |
