Re: Tells
[ QUOTE ]
One tell that I see a surprising amount with amateur players is when on a draw, you can literally see them nod their eyes or head in a counting manner, counting whether they have a straight. It happens enough to make it important to notice. Even just longer looks at draw heavy boards are tells.

A few players at my home game table definitely do this. The problem is... did they hit...or are they still drawing?
Other tells that seem to be consistent are:
- how they put in their bet. a 'slam' on the table is usually a weak hand
- TONE of the voice - not what they actually say. I've caught myself doing it too. A quiet call is usually a stronger hand.
