Default Re: Reads and Tells.... the shake..

ok, I was watching the WSOP and Ivey was in a hand with an unknown. They show the river, and the unknown is shaking ridiculously. Ivey says, "are you doing that on purpose?" and the guy replies "What?"...ivey asks about the shaking, and I think he says no. Anyhow, I got to thinking about why ivey talked to him.

Alright, first off, these guys are shaking, and they probably want to justify it, or maybe explain it. If they do, they definitely have you beat. Here's another thing that you can do, say you suspect a very good player of shaking. Ask them if their shaking on purpose, then look at their hands, if their hands stop shaking while their talking, it may be on purpose.

I'm not sure how reliable this is, I haven't played with a player thats so bad he shakes with excitement at a good hand. But I definitely would like to test it out.
