Jeebus asked a question about having a
Poker Face in another post which is closely related to to Poker Tells, so I thought we would get a thread going about some of the most common Poker Tells.
One of the most common Tells in Poker is Acting Weak, When you are Strong, and acting Strong when you are weak. I see this all the time from fairly new players and recreational players. For example the flush card gets their on the river and they shake their head in disgust or gasp. Usually this is a tell that they made their hand. I can't tell you how much money this poker tell alone has saved me over the years.
Please feel free to add other common Poker Tells and I will update them into one master list below.
List of Common Poker Tells:
- Acting Weak when you are strong - (GoodKarmaKid)
- Acting Strong when you are weak - (GoodKarmaKid)
- Watching the Players Eyes and their reaction to the flop, If they look at their chips, they normally like their hand, If they continue to look at the flop or look around, they usually missed. - (Kickboy)
- Repetitive Betting Patterns - (PokerBroker)
- Players Facial Expressions. If they smile or laugh in a fake manner you should suspect they are lying - (Spidy2222)
