Along the same lines some people telegraph their hands by the way they bet on the flop. There's a guy who I play with regularly that shows the strength of his hand by how he puts his chips in the pot on the flop. When he tosses them he likes his hand and when he stacks them he either has a draw or not much. He also raps the table when he intends to continue after checking and saying "check" when he intends to fold (it appears most of the time) Very useful information; if only he did this on the big streeets, too (he always stacks there).

I'd just like to touch on this a bit.

Something I'm always aware of when I play live is how I myself am putting chips in the pot, checking, etc. I pay attention to when I throw chips in the pot (vs when I place them), when I rap the table vs when I say check, etc. I try as hard as possible to make sure that there is no correlation between this movement and the strength of my hand.

Just something for everyone here to pay attention to. Keep your tells to a minimum.
