Hello there!

Just minutes ago, I tried to search the web for sites that could help me play poker better and surprisingly it’s your site I have found. Great site!

Well, as for my question, are there some physical tells that could eventually tell me if the person is just bluffing or has a strong hand? Also, if you don’t mind, can you tell me something about your poker experiences? Are you some kind of a pro or just an average player?

Thanks!
Drew
Drew,

I consider myself an above average player overall. I have played semi-professionally but the games I like to play do not make becoming a full fledged professional easy. I am a mixed games player and the majority of money is in Holdem. I have numerous professional cashes including cashes at the World Series of Poker.

Physical tells that can tell you if a person is bluffing include someone that bets and gives off a slight almost unnoticeable smirk. Someone that puts in their chips with a lot of bravado or very forcefully may be bluffing. As Mike Caro states, “Sometime Weak is strong and strong is weak”.

Someone with a very strong hand may have a little shake to their hand as they are putting in chips. Someone that glances at their chips as soon as the flop comes out in many cases has a strong hand. If they are trying to size up your stack, then they usually are going to bet. If they ease their chips in like they don’t want to put them in, chances are they have a monster. Someone who is very chatty that all of a sudden is the quietest person in the room usually has a big hand or a big draw.
