I read the book.

It was worth the price of the the book just for a full understanding of the "weak is strong" concept.

Sure, people all over have read the same book and might try to throw off fake tells, but you'll be surprised how many people at live games haven't read the book and act just like one of the examples in the text.

I haven't seen the video, and I don't plan to buy it.

I've read it, though I liked the "Phil Hellmuth Presents Read 'Em and Reap: A Career FBI Agent's Guide to Decoding Poker Tells"

I thought FBI fellow's details about high and low confidence tells was much more revealing.

Think they're both worth a read, but Caro's is probably a bit dated.

I'm 3/4s into the Read "em and Weep, but I find that most tells he brings up are common sense such as a high arching chip throw in, or raising eyebrows with strong hand and lowering eyebrows= weak.
Can you offer more comparisons of the book, what is covered in Caro's book that is not in Navaros?
One thing I can say about Navarro's book is it is an easy read. I read the 249 pages in only a few days or about 3-4 hours. The pictures crack me up. Imagine Joe Friday at your poker table.

Really. You'd be surprised how many haven't read Caro's book in a live casino game. In fact, most of them probably haven't.
