tells, for the most part are overrated

While this may be correct, I've seen picking up tells be a decisive difference, in live play especially. Caro himself even says that without tells, he'd lose half his profits (because he makes so many "exploratory bets"... that guy actually is crazy).

I think this information is very useful, I have learned a few things from this thread that I will look for.

As for my home games, they are of decent quality with a lot of money involved, and nobody is as bad as you mentioned (i.e. grabbing a cheat sheet to see what beats what). Reading body language I think will be pretty clutch for me in the future.
