Specific Poker Tells Part3
12. Reaching for chips to call your bet before you can make it. ###1/2 In poker language, this move means, "Of course I'm going to call your bet! It's such an easy decision for me that I don't even have to think about it. If you were betting to eliminate me, you can save that bet, since you can see that I'm going to call."
13. Delaying in calling your bet. ##1/2 A player who genuinely couldn't decide between folding and calling when you bet on the flop is more likely to fold if he does call and you bet again on the turn. He usually will have been looking for a miracle card, took one shot at it, and is willing to fold on the turn if he misses (which will happen most of the time).
14. Flashing one hole card. ##l/2 A player who makes sure you "accidentally" see one of his hole cards is bluffing. He almost never has what he wants you to think he does.
15. Behavior on fabulous-looking flops. ## Whenever the flop contains a high pair, three straight flush cards, or even three-of-a-kind, you should pause a second before acting on your hand. A player who threw away a hand with a card that would fit well with the flop will often let it be known.
How? Well, he might curse, moan, pound the table, slap his forehead, elbow his neighbor, or actually announce out loud what card he folded before the flop. You have to wait to give him a second to do one of these things. This is a very reliable tell since a player not in the hand has no reason to influence its play or outcome.
16. Unnecessarily showing the nuts at the end. #1/2 A player who does this might just be bragging, but sometimes it's because he intends to bluff you in the near future and he wants you to remember that he only plays the nuts.
17. Coaxing along an opponent's end decision. # Let's say a player bets into you, and you're slowly and reluctantly about to fold. It's apparent that you're about to exit the hand, and your opponent says or does something to help you confirm that you're making the "right" decision. He's bluffing. He wants you to hurry up and fold before you take a second to rethink what you're doing.
18. Showing visible disappointment. #### With a very big pot, if a player is on a draw to the nuts and misses on the end, he will often let you know about it. Again, the secret is that you have to wait a second for him to do it. He might exhale deeply, slump down in his chair, curse, look sad, turn his cards face up as a gesture of folding, throw his cards into the muck out of turn, hit the table, or tell you what hand he missed.
19. Rabbit hunting. ### Rabbit hunting is the term for, "Can I see the next card, please?" after the hand is over. It seems that bad players like to do that and good players don't.
20. Neat and conservative players. ##1/2 A person's style of doing one thing is usually also his style of doing most other things. A player who dresses and acts conservatively usually also plays conservatively.
21. Players in wheelchairs and walkers. ## Players who are wheelchair-bound or otherwise have physical trouble getting around like to stay put once they get in the game. They usually play conservatively but not excellently. They're generally Tight/Passive players.
