Re: Someone encourage me to finish Navarro\'s book
There is a lot of fluff in the book compared to info that a person might find useful. I found that I got more out of Navarro's book than the Carro book. Navarro explains where the tells come from, so I think it is easier for a novice to follow. As I said, I think there is some useful information. I would think that for experienced players, who have a basic understanding of tells, there might be less information in it than for those who believe they do not have a basic understanding of tells and what to look for.
I do agree with another poster who said to write or memorize the tells and then watch some TV poker. You will see players exhibit these tells. And I've seen a few of them at my home games.
So I think that the book is useful for some players. It is very easy to read. If you've already gone through half of it, you should just bite the bullet and finish. Even if only to skim to skip the fluff and read closer the parts that cover particular tells.
