Re: How Can I Tell If I Have a Tell?
Short of videoing yourself (which is not possible in a casino, and not likely to help you much), I would say the easiest way to improve in this area is to read Caros book of poker tells and watch the videos if possible. At the very least you will be less readable to those who have studied the same materials, since they will be looking for the same things you are. After doing this you wont feel it necessary to "act" so much, and those you see "acting" will be playing with their hands face up... just a first step.

Re: How Can I Tell If I Have a Tell?
A telling way to tell you have some glaring tells is to have a friend watch and tell you about your tells. But there's no telling if this is the best way to catch tells. Another way to minimize tells is to tell yourself to bet in the same manner and same speed. This should reduce your tells signifcantly and , I'll tell ya, tells are overrated.

Phil Ivey does it similarly, right? On the other hand, Daniel Negreanu seems to vary it up quite a bit. I tend to try to be stone-faced, but I feel that I might wear my emotions on my sleeve. I'll read that Navarro book to see what other insights I can get there. I've read Caro's book -- but it's hard for me to know if I'm inadvertently giving off any of those tells.

Re: How Can I Tell If I Have a Tell?
Best book on the subject is Joe Navarro's "Read 'Em and Reap" - far more useful than the now classic Caro's book of tells - Navarro is a former FBI agent, and an expert on body language.

AB [/ QUOTE ] Not dissing you but I am so tired of hearing the name 'Joe Navarro' and 'former FBI agent' in the same sentence. What tells did the FBI get off of Bin Laden in 2001? Caro is still the standard for poker tells.

[ QUOTE ] Caro is still the standard for poker tells. [/ QUOTE ] If you haven't read "Read 'em and Reap", you are missing out on some great information - information that is not presented by Caro. AB

How can you know if you have a tell? How can you minimize giving off tells? [/ QUOTE ] Your #1 tell is your betting patterns. You have to fix that problem before worrying about physical tells.
