Poker – What’s a Tell?
December 24th, 2009 by Miranda

Poker is a sport of people participated using the form of playing cards. A tell is a pattern that shows the relative strength of an opposing player’s hand. If you wager on net poker, common tells are comprised of wagering patterns and the amount of time to act. Physical poker at the brick and mortar casino provides a greater chance to id tells. In addition to time tells and wagering patterns, players have physical tells. Players commonly telegraph the strength of their hand through actions, movements of their eyes, breathing rates, and the tennor of their voice. Poker is a sport of emotion and a majority of individuals cannot constrain their feelings when money is involved. In order to spot a tell you need to accurately watch your opponents on each and every hand. Watch for any type of wagering sequence or physical tell that relates to the strength of their hand. If a competitor consistently breaths deeply when he has a big hand, that’s a tell for absolute strength. If a challenger constantly bets his weak hands with a flick of his wrist, that’s their tell for absolute weakness.

Tells allow you to see beyond your own cards and into your opponent’s mind. Concentrate on all the things that your opponent does while she plays a hand and try to link each action to a given strength of hand. With the opportunity to notice tells on your competitor, the playing cards really don’t matter. If your competitor shows you that they are weak, you will be able to raise him with any hand knowing that he will drop out. If your competitor indicates you that he is strong, you’ll be able to drop out on very strong hands. There is more to poker than just the hand you are dealt. Concentrate on your competitor’s mannerisms and your earnings will soar.
