Re: Tells
One of the tells I find to be omnipresent in my home game is telegraphs. I decided to tune in to telegraphs more recently and was amazed at how many there were and that from the best to the least player all showed them. They are most often seen preflop so it's not a huge edge, but if I can see that several players ahead of me intend to fold and a couple behind me, that changes my starting requirements and action.
This last session I sat to the right of the LAG in the group and he was very nice to telegraph most decisions he made before I acted so I could decide whether to tangle with him or not.
The key is to match the tell with what the action and player's style is telling you. Tells alone don't get it done, but one in a while a small tell will make the action make sense in a way that lets you make a better decision.
