Re: Tells
Advice is great so far. Keep them coming...
In my homegame experience, I've found chatty opponents during a hand= they have a hand. If you've ever pulled a big bluff, you'll (sometimes) find it hard to speak at times, and you are sometimes akward, stammering. If your opponents can speak clearly w/ no emotion, I've found they usually have a hand.
Mike Caro's book is excellent, (Caro's book of tells, recommended), and most of the advice is based on strong=weak and vice versa. I agree with most of the advice given, but it really depends on the level of your competition. If they are smart enough to fake tells (I've done it in the past to one of my friends who thought he was a super reader), then be cautious.
I've found hand reading to be much more valuable in live poker (and online I guess) than tells.
