Funny thing happened the other day - a non-tell
Was playing at a local cardroom the other day and a regular with a big beard (becomes relevant) made a big (1.5x pot?) bet when a scare card came on the turn. Another regular who was in the hand and sitting next to the bettor says "You just hit the flush?" and starts staring at the guy real intently. Someone asks him WTF he's looking for and he says "trying to see his pulse in his neck under all that hair to see if he's bluffing", which of course gets the table chuckling a bit. So the bearded guy reaches out his left arm and pulls back his shirt to expose his wrist and tells the other guy "go ahead, take my pulse, for all the good it will do you". Twenty seconds later the other guy folds, saying, "you're way too calm to be bluffing".
Bearded guy laughs, flips over trash cards with no connection to the scare cards, and says "I had surgery on that arm years ago and the main artery was damaged - there is no pulse in that wrist for you to get a read with" LOL
