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.

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.
