Re: Observant donk tips my hand
[ QUOTE ]
More likely the neck. It's kinda like the shaky hands tell. If you see a vein on somebody's forehead or neck throbbing, you know they have a monster or at least they think they do. [/ QUOTE ] I've never seen/heard of this tell...I don't think I'm observant enough to catch it. I'll stick to my obvious stare down vs. avoiding eye contact and such. In any case, I don't think it's worth yelling at another player. Simply point it out to her nicely (she'll be more receptive), and ask the dealer to iterate the rules as necessary in future pots. If necessary, call the floor if the same player continues despite warnings.

Re: Observant donk tips my hand
Doyle talks about this one (I think in Supersystem, but it might have been an article) as one of the most reliable tells because it's so hard to fake.
I actually apologized to the player later for the way I handled it. She in turn said that she was sorry "...that you thought it affected the play". I didn't say anything, but that pissed me off more. That wasn't an apology. She was clearly saying it was my issue. Fact is, the guy was contemplating a call, she called out the tell and he mucked quickly. I was really happy to see her AA get cracked a couple of hands later.

Re: Observant donk tips my hand
I agree. She should keep her mouth shut if she doesn't have cards in front of her.
It sounds however, that she was strictly trying to get attention drawn to herself - Hey look what I can do - kinda stuff. You have to let it go and exploit her week poker skills as we already know her observation skills are probably greater than yours. So let your poker play speak for you. Good luck -

You go on tilt far too easily. You need to relax. [/ QUOTE ] Probably. I've been playing B&M regularly for about a year and a half and I've run into all types - even the ones that try to get in your head and tilt you. I don't mind: * table coaches - Anyone who assumes they are smarter than me gives me an advantage * donkeys who suckout - without them, we wouldn't have donkeys who pay off * dealers who make mistakes - they're human This one was just different. Maybe it was a mistake. Like I said earlier, I should have handled it differently, but she might as well have pulled chips off my stack and handed them to the other player. It's hard enough playing your opponents, much less your opponents plus whoever wants to chime in with information. On reflection, if I have to play her again, I'm going to seat-change to her left. Don't know why I wouldn't want to play against a weak player. In the mean time, I'll keep working on that false shaky hands tell.
