Poker Tells by Daniel Negreanu

Poker Tells from the professional players like Daniel Negreanu are always good to learn. So, without wasting anytime let us discuss very good poker tells that are explained by him with examples. The beginner poker players always do big mistakes by doing bluff even if it’s not necessary. Novice players ooze all the poker tells when they face a weak hand.

Here is the example. Player “A” raises before the flop in a “$5-$10 Texas Hold’em” poker game with 10  J  and obviously some other player calls your bet. K  9  4  are the hands that come in the “flop” round. With this combination of flush and straight draw you will bet with $5. This round continues and your opponents raises your bet with $5 and you call.

And now comes the turn where 7  is the hand. Your opponent bets $10 and of course you will call the bet. The final river comes and makes you feel like start bluffing as the hand is 2  so called “A big fat brick!” Here you start bluffing that possibly could not work anyways. Till then you were playing slow and steady and now after seeing the river card you start bluffing and try to confuse your opponents by reacting fast to the bets. So, don’t you ever change your rate of play at any stage of the game? I suggest you not to do this and maintain the same rate of reaction throughout the game. Instead under such situation you can follow few tells of poker like re-raising the bet on the flop, check-raise the bet on the turn etc that could help to confuse your opponents

Poker Tells – Don’t get Victimized by Your Opponents.

Poker Tells like getting victimized by the opponents are very important especially under the situation where you have got enough luck to win the game. Sharks can easily feel the smell of blood even from miles away. Imagine a shark on your table and how much time it takes to find you. I would say in “NO TIME”. I am talking about people who act as victim and get victimized. Many beginner poker players and semi-professional poker players do this and get trapped under the Jaws.

To avoid this you never have to feel like a victim even if had a severe bad beat. Otherwise even a novice poker player can feel it easy to jump on you.

Let me discuss with you my experience while playing No-Limit Holdem and how to avoid being victimized by your opponents.

Pocket aces in my hand and I was hoping for someone to re-raise. But that did not happen; instead I faced three calls beyond me. The flop cards were a rainbow ( A Q 7). And it can’t be better than this for me. I checked and was checked at big blind who bet. I called and everyone else had to fold. I was not lucky enough at the turn and river where the hands were Jack and 10 respectively. I knew what the big blind has and folded. Though I had to fold I managed to lose minimum. But, if I would have gone for all-in after the flop then I would have lost everything and obviously my facial expressions would have given an easy hint at that point of time and big blind would have eaten me.

Poker Tells – Discipline to Fold

Poker tells like discipline to fold helps you not only in saving your bankrolls but also helps you from getting ripped off by your opponents. We all play poker to win. But to win a poker game many factors have to contribute. It’s not compulsory that win a poker game if you have strong hands. But, you are never sure that yours are the best hands on the table. Most of the players don’t understand this. Say they have three of kind combination which has got chance to face bad beats. But the beginner poker players often feel that they have got the best hands. Even more staggering point is say if you have a good hand but your opponent also is equally confident and he is betting and raising better than you.  This clearly says that they have better hands. It’s better to fold with discipline and understand the consequences if you had played.

Poker tells with good hand

Poker tells will help you increase money in the pot if you have nuts in your hand. Beginner poker players often ooze their poker tells with nuts in their hand. This may lead to the folding of your opponent’s cards without having much amount in the pot. So, the poker tells comes into picture to help you in winning more money. We all know that we play to win but how well you deserve the win matters. Even a novice poker player can win against professional poker players like Daniel Negreanu if he is holding a royal flush or a straight flush combination. Here wining doesn’t bother anyone. Under these situations you must be able to increase the money in the pot which definitely is going to be yours by following some basic poker tells.

Don’t you ever play aggressively with nuts in your hand? This is the biggest mistake that one can do as you were unable to increase the pot amount. So, play slow and steady till you find good amount in the pot. Then hit the hammer on your opponents. For more information on how to follow this poker tells you can refer “Making good Use of The Over-Bet” by Nick Eisel.

Poker Tells on Bad Beats

There are many hypothetical examples to illustrate the worst bad beats ever. It’s very important for beginner poker players also for the semi-professional poker players. This is one among the top poker tells that can make you a professional poker player. Let us discuss step by step on how to adopt this poker tell and become a professional poker player.

1. You never get tilted by the bad beats if you bankroll management is good enough.

2. Beginner poker players in ignorance will commit all their chips before the flop which is pretty dangerous and chances of getting a bad beat are more.

3. Semi professional poker players are always disappointed with their profits. So, with this kind of frustration you won’t be in a position to face any bad beats. So I suggest semi professional poker players to concentrate more on the game than on your profits.

4. Don’t play in aggressive fashion unless you have nuts in your hand. You never know when a shark is going to jump on you in the form of bad beats.

Online Poker Tells - The danger of Discussion

Poker tells like discussing the game on internet discussion boards is pretty dangerous and invaluable. The present discussion is inspired form the article “The Danger of Discussion” written by Jay Greenspan, a semi professional poker player and the author of upcoming edition, “Hunting Fish”.

When he first started playing poker online he used to discuss a lot but now he feels that it’s just nothing. After all we reveal our hands only after finishing our game in discussions board and could others help you on this. Winning is in your hand, it’s your strategy and skill that works while playing online poker tournaments. Who knows whether the suggestions given in discussion forums are right or not? Many novice poker players tend to give suggestions to your queries so better avoid them and stick to one trustworthy forum. Also seeing some other examples of poker and implementing it is insane. Your poker tells are only ones that can save you.

Poker Tells – I know what you have.


We have discussed a lot on poker tells like facial expression and the opponents reaction to the flop, turn etc. Let us now discuss all these poker tells with a real time example. The illustrated example is inspired from the personal experiences of John Carlisle, a professional poker player.

He shares his recent experience where he won just with two rags. That was a No Limit Hold’em poker tournament, he was seated beside two players who were literally novice on implementing poker tells. Carlisle just wanted take the advantage out of it and prepared to increase the amount in the pot to a maximum extent.  From the big blind position he called a moderate raise from player “X”. Though his hands were not so good (just the two rags) he was confident enough in winning the pot. He started with a bet-out after the flop and concentrated on his opponent’s reaction. The opponent was in a thoughtful observation. There he oozed all the poker tells, he took another peek at his hole cards before wiping them across his forehead. The opponent was thinking deeply on what to do with the flush draw. Things were certainly going Carlisle’s way and all his predictions were pretty accurate. So, what I came to know from this example is that the poker tells are not always the same. They change depending on your opponent’s reaction.

Poker Tells for the Intermediate Poker Players


Poker tells for the players who are not called the beginners also not the professional poker pro’s helps improving their bankroll. Most of the intermediate poker players get disappointed for not having better profits. So what do you think the reason is? Choosing a wrong poker variant and worrying about the lost games etc are some the reasons for not being able to raise their bankroll. So, to effectively increase the profits and win the poker game the intermediate poker players should follow three main poker tells.

1. Choose the right game for yourself.
2. Don’t lose confidence if you get bad beats.
3. Getting habituated to new way of poker life style.

If you are following the above poker tells then you can easily increase your profits also can become a professional poker player in no time. Chris Moneymaker is the one who strictly implements this and you people can see the result.

Poker Tells – Predetermined bet

Say your opponent is going to bet and you need to guess whether he is having a good hand or not. So how would you do it? Let us discuss how to track the hands of your opponents and analyze their game play. For better understand I am providing you with an example on predetermined bet.This is a very important poker tell that every one has to learn and follow.tell Say a player has got his final card and had a look at it. Immediately the player bets almost the same.  What would you do now? The only answer is, NOT call. This man has made this strategy before actually start playing the game
.
They don’t ever wait for the hole card to make a decision on call or bet. They just do this to lure people to take a wrong step and pretend as if they are just betting too fast, In case of not winning the pot he will take the bet back.

Poker tells – When to call and when to bet


Poker tells have got the significance all over the poker world. Each and every step that you take in poker has a poker tell in it. So, it’s not possible to learn them all overnight. Better make a strategy to learn them in a sequence. Mike Caro has given us excellent poker tells on Call and bet. When to call? and when to bet? I you always have an answer for these questions then you could conquer the world of poker.

Caro suggests calling most of the times also the first call must be done with stronger hand. Here you need to use another poker tell which is called the reaction time. if your opponent is taking some time to act then you must take the advantage out of it. Also bluffing is another poker tell where you can confuse your opponents on when to call or raise. So, caro says not to bluff too many people as it is very difficult to manage. He says, bluffing one player is easier than bluffing two and so on and so forth.

Learn how to trap your opponents and also how to avoid bluffing most of the times. It’s better for the beginners or novice players to avoid bluffing most of the times. I do agree that bluffing is one among the top poker tells and strategies but it’s risky too. It’s very difficult for beginner poker player to adopt bluffing at the early stages. So, better avoid it.

Modernized Poker Tells

In my previous post we have discussed the standard poker tells that are implemented regularly. Let us now discuss the poker tells that involve risk and experience. Bluffing is the most important poker tell that only professional poker player could manage to implement. Bluffing is nothing but making your opponents believe something which actually is not true. To do this one has to be experienced and must be having a fat bankroll.

The need of bluffing arises when your hands are weak. Reacting to weak hand is a one among the poker tells that works as a clue for your opponents in analyzing your hands. So, to avoid this player starts bluffing. Bluffing to some extent may help, if you do it sensibly. Over bluffing may put you under risky situation where you may lose all your chips. If you have succeeded in bluffing then you have just won the game with weak hands.

Poker Tells - Hands Analysis

Poker Tells completely depends on the reaction of your opponents to each move. This form of poker tell is followed since decades. A professional poker player always try being unpredictable without allowing any kind of facial expression showing up on his face. To avoid this a poker players always use caps or sunglasses and hide themselves.

Here are few poker tells on your opponents reaction. If the opponent is betting quite often then it just means that he has a good hand combination or probably the nuts. So, better play carefully against such players. Few players give a pause before check that means they are weak. If they were strong they would never think before check. A player with strong hands usually would check in no time and raise. Don’t believe the players who thinks a lot. They usually do this to confuse the opponents by being unpredictable.

Poker Tells - How to Spot?

Poker Tells is all about how better you read your opponents and their moves. Learning poker Tells is not so easy. There are many factors that are to be considered before you actually start learning poker tells. Poker is not a mind game completely, also luck has to favor to win a game. So, instead of just following the basic rules of the poker game, professional poker players also implement few strategies, poker tells and bluff etc.

One of the most important poker tells is watching your opponents eyes carefully. Most of the players use sunglasses and caps to prevent themselves. Also the facial expressions speaks a lot while playing poker. The players usually show no reaction through out the game but its very tough to manage unless you are poker pro. Some players use the rule of opposites which has become a very old strategy and useless to implement.

Texas Hold em Poker Tells

Poker Tells also depends on the variant of the poker game. While playing Texas Hold em position of the player matters a lot. So, this also is one among the top poker tells to be discussed. Choose the most appropriate table while playing multi table poker tournaments. The positions like small blind and big blind are so dangerous, that there will be no time for the player to think before taking any action.

Also make sure that you are dealt with good hole cards. I do agree that this completely depends on luck. But reacting to the hands and taking a decision is in your hands. Don’t always play with an ace in hand cards; instead see whether there is matching hand like 10, J, K etc so you can confidently raise the money in the pot. Learning poker tells has become very easy for you now so go ahead and enjoy the world of poker.

Just Another Poker Tell

As we all have discussed a lot about the Importance of Poker Tell, let us know few important poker Tells that helps winning a poker game. Poker Tells like “paying attention” and “wait and watch” are already discussed in the previous post. So, let us discuss on poker Tells like “watch the chips” and “Be Patient”.

Watch the Chips

Judge yourself just before entering a poker room. Choose the average poker room if you are beginner so you can at least hope to win a game. In case you choose a top poker room with poker pros then things would be very tough for you. Also after carefully choosing a proper room and a table the player must find the opponents with more chips on the table. The players with more chips are dangerous so play very carefully against them.

Be Patient

Think twice and thrice before making any move. Being patient is one among the stepping stones to success.

Tips and Strategies on Poker Tells


Poker Tells is just a synonym for poker strategies and tips. He are few poker tells for both beginners and poker pros to conquer the world of poker.

Paying attention

Poker Tells like the present paying attention to the game is very important to win poker. The player who enters the casino with loads of things running in mind could never win a poker game. The players are in fact suggested to enter the poker room with a fresh mind instead.

Watch and Wait

Do act unless your turn comes. It is very important to learn the rule of opposites while analyzing your opponent’s hands. People often fail to increase the money in pot even after having nuts in their hands. The reason is just being unable to judge their opponents. Poker players always try being unpredictable. Poker tells is just not the analysis there is a lot of math involved in it.

Poker Tells and Bad Beats

This is a situation where even a very good poker tell doesn’t work. Poker professionals have got answers to all your questions, be it any variant of the game but to answer a question like which poker tell works under bad beats is literally impossible.

Depending completely on poker tells is a foolishness I would say. To win a poker game you must be having both skill and luck. No one could guess or analyze the community cards as this completely depends on luck. It doesn’t mean that you have a game if you are dealt with nuts. No one can predict the cards that could come in flop, turn and river. May be your opponents who are dealt with low hands have got very good support from the flop and turn. Then under that situation I suggest all poker players to analyze the speed of your opponents, understand the rule of opposites and better fold.

Poker Tells of great significance

Poker Tells is just more than playing a poker game. I would call this as a mind game which involves a lot of math principles and strategies. Just playing your will game will never give you a win. Understanding your opponent’s game is equally important to put yourself on a successful roller coaster ride.

There are many poker tells that helps poker players win both offline and online poker games. The fact is whether you implement these with perfection. Poker tells like not playing each and every hand, not bluffing unnecessarily, not paying much attention to cards on the table are just like poker tips by using which one can easily win a poker game.

Poker tells are not completely different to poker strategies. Avoiding tilts also called one of the major poker tells. Similarly players are not suggested to play at very high limit when their bankroll is limited or low.

Online Poker Tells

Physical tells are more convenient to understand as you can see your opponent but while playing online how to do it? Well, three major factors help you to analyze or guess your opponents. The three major factors are call, raise and bet. The speed of your opponents while making moves works as one of the major poker tells while playing online.

There are no schools to learn poker tells and graduate from. The only way to learn the art of poker tells is to practice. As we all know the saying Rome was not built in a day. So, no one can master all the poker strategies and tells overnight. It takes quite a bit of time to actually implement and succeed using the strategies of poker.

Some of the poker tells are chatting, quick moves and delays and fishy tells. All these tells of poker play a major role in winning a poker game.

How to read poker tells?

Poker tells, you must be aware of this term if you know the game of poker. Poker tells is one of the most important aspects of poker. But players usually emphasize the least when it comes to poker tells. The reason behind it being their ignorance and harum-scarum nature.

Poker tells is nothing but analyzing your opponents. Your action speaks a lot while playing poker in land based casinos. If you are playing online then there are different poker tells to get a clue of your opponents cards. To excel poker tells you require quite a good experience in playing poker.

Poker Sit N Go format helps you a lot in learning poker tells. Sit N Go will have maximum number of players also you will get the experience of final table finishes that no other game can provide you with. There are many resources available to learn poker tells free of cost.

Review-Caro's Book of Poker Tells

Mike Caro's book of poker tells focuses completely on how to analysis tells of your opponents and guess their cards. Obviously this book is not so fruitful for the players who play more in online casinos. The one who plays poker in land based casinos can gain a lot of knowledge via Caro's book of poker tells.

The language used in this book is so simple that anyone can understand so easily without putting much effort. This helps us save much time so quick when it comes to implementation. Mike Caro was called the Mad Genius for many reasons. Most of his teachings has a profound insight and are not conforming to any legality.

Being unpredictable is a strategy to implement to protect ourselves from being revealed. Poker tells to analyze the opponents and protecting ourselves from the same are equally important. Mike Caro's book of poker tells clearly explains to you on how to be unpredictable.

The book is worth buying for all kinds of poker players.
