"Speaking of Sbrugby's tells, what's up with him covering his mouth with his monstrous hands when he's in some pots, but when he was just firing off a standard cbet against Daniel's set, he didn't bother, and then didn't cover up for the turn or river either. I wonder if we saw 100 hands by him if there'd be a correlation between him covering his face and the strength of his hands."

Actually he covered his face when he had KQo on the J83 board and raised Antonio.

"Also him asking Daniel how much he's playing is a tell that he is drawing, even though as noted Gabe has no clue about why he asks that. But that's just a common way to figure out if you have implied odds, you see people live doing that a lot with small pocket pairs preflop to a raise, seeing if they can call. Big tell."

Uhhhhh, why? You wouldn't want to know how much your opponent has behind with any hand you plan on continuing with?
