[/ QUOTE ] I have the same reaction but I tend to have it as a *post-hand* "rush" of heart-pounding, some shakes etc, when I take down a pot without a showdown, while I'm stacking chips. I can hear my heart so loud in my ears. Never happens during the hand and I've had friends whom I've asked to look for these signs tell me they can't see it, but it's noticable afterwords. Almost always happens when I make a big bet/raise into a good pot and the OP folds. The thing is, it doesn't matter if I have the nuts, or am semi-bluffing, or on air. (??!) Don't have anywhere near the same reaction when the hand goes to showdown. Anyone else have this type of reaction?

Re: Post your favorite live tells here
I think my favorite, along the same lines as "misewell bet," is the classic "Oh, is it my turn?"
Yep, and thanks for turning your hand face-up, brother.

In their head is "what is my best line here?" Still the heart pumps faster. [/ QUOTE ] Some valid points. I remember my third hand when I moved up to 10/20 was AA. I definately went deer hunter.

Re: Post your favorite live tells here
[ QUOTE ]
I can't believe no one has said this one yet. This is a monster tell. A lot of times, when someone insta-checks, that means they just hit. Sure enough, everytime I see a insta-check, they check raise and they have it. [/ QUOTE ] Yes. This is a very good online tell, too. Example: LAG, who has raised every third hand PF, who has been observed 3 betting AJo on a ragged 6 high flop, raises PF then quickly checks a flop of AKx. Or: Aggresor raises PF, is first to act and bets a king-high flop, then insta-checks the turn when it brings a king or ace. Nice try, [censored]. It's quite fun watching these clowns lose bets hoping for the check-raise that never comes.

Re: Post your favorite live tells here
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the people that reach for chips as if they're going to bet, but then check.

Re: Post your favorite live tells here
I love the tell of staring at you, holding out chips like they're getting ready to call you if you dare to bet - then they either check behind you or fold if you bet.
for some reason, I see this mostly done by Asians.

Re: Post your favorite live tells here
I was at a table where a guy hit quads on the turn. He was obviously a beginner, and he had gotten a chip stuck between the rail and the felt. He was trying to extract that chip, but his hands were shaking so bad that it took him two or three MINUTES to get the chip out. After the player across the table called his bet, half the table said "Show the quads!"

I've never shook during a hand, but after stacking a giant pot, it is a little embarassing. Also I used to shake a bit my first few hands of a session, but not anymore.
