ditto to the 10x stacks.. unless I have a ton, this is what I do, in a tourney, or a cash game.

One of the most accurate ones I see is making little ass chip stacks. Like instead of 20x stacks, they make a bunch of 10x or 5x ones.

Hey, I like 10x stacks. Faster to count and I'm less likely to knock them over. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Agreed. Smaller stacks only indicate that I'm a big clumsy and/or have wild elbows. It doesn't mean I'll call an AI bet w/ 27o.

However, seeing a player continually counting his 10-hi stacks is a pretty decent tell.

that actually reminds me, people that dont know how to count their chips usually suck/dont have much experience live. its [censored] painstaking to watch some clown count out his chips to match an allin, one chip at a time. out loud.

Sometimes after a bet you just want to make sure your 10-chips standard is still correct [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Also I forget how many chips I have. I'm not THAT bad though.

I saw a guy at my table call a large river bet for over 1/2 his stack with no pair / 8 high, lose to no pair / Ace high, and then tell the guy he lost to, "See, I knew you were bluffing."

Another time I played with a guy who kept telling everyone what he had, WHILE THE HAND WAS BEING PLAYED! I made a pot sized bet into him on a board of JT9 and he says, "I've got a 9 so that's worth a call here." As he showed down after calling 2 more bets, that is what he had. A few other times he would call bets on the flop and tell everyone he had to call because he had a really good draw. And every time he said that he either folded to a river bet, saying "I missed my draw" or called the river bet that indeed had made his straight/flush/etc. He didn't last long, but it was funny the way some people paid him off.

I usually start getting bored and get into engineering chip castles and towers and stuff like that.

Here is one:

Lift their cards high up off the table to look at them, bringing them close to their face.

Another:

"I think I'll play a Negreanu hand."

the best is when you reraise all in on some one who you have out chipped and they ask "How much is it?"

[/ QUOTE ]

I ask this sometimes because I want to know how much of your stack you are putting at risk.

This is valuable info. Think about it....
