While there are tells and they can be capitalized on, they aren't like Teddy KGB in Rounders eating the Oreo. When I post or refer to a good "read" on someone, usually it is in reference to information I have gathered over a lot of hands and relates mainly to betting patterns.
A betting pattern or patterns are going to be the most accurate and best ways for you to be able to put your opponent on a hand or asess his/her strength. Don't make decisions based on a nod of their head or blinking slowly, make it on informed observations that you have made. People are creatures of habit and will usually make the same kinds of plays (check, bet, cold call, raise) in certain situations on a consistant basis.
I am a strictly live player, and after a while, you get a feel for people (IMO) and then some of the physical "tells" become something to keep an eye out for. But as a rule my read on an opponent comes from behavioral and betting patterns. Good luck.
