Poker is a sport of people played through the medium of playing cards. A tell is a pattern that shows the basic strength of an opposing player’s hand. If you play net poker, general tells are comprised of wagering sequences and time to take action. Live poker at the brick and mortar betting house offers a greater chance to identify tells. Accompanying time tells and betting patterns, individuals have physical tells. Individuals often give away the strength of their hand through body language, movements of their eyes, heart rates, and the tennor of their voice. Poker is a sport of emotion and most players can’t control their emotions when cash is involved. In order to identify a tell you have to closely observe your competitors on every single hand. Look for any kind of betting pattern or physical tell that relates to the strength of their hand. If a competitor always breaths deeply when she has a strong hand, that is a tell for extreme strength. If an opposing player consistently stakes his poor hands with a twitch of his wrist, that is a tell for absolute weakness.

Tells allow you to see further than your own hand and into your opponent’s mind. Concentrate on all the things that your opponent does while he plays a hand and attempt to link each play to a relative strength of hand. With the opportunity to obtain tells on your opponent, the playing cards really don’t matter. If your opponent tells you that she is weak, you are able to raise them with any hand with the knowledge that he’ll fold. If your opponent shows you that they are strong, you’ll be able to drop out on very strong hands. There is more to poker than just the cards you’re dealt. Focus on your opponent’s body language and your winnings will skyrocket.
