my left ear enjoyed the video

I've been playing poker since '98, (back then, it was only Limit stud & hold'em.) Anyways, I've noticed a VERY common tell that almost nobody ever talks about, and it's the amount of EYE CONTACT someone is giving.
If a guy is watching you LIKE A HAWK, he probably has something solid, a "top pair & decent kicker" type of hand. He's desperate for more information, AND he's trying to cower you into not bluffing.
You will ALMOST NEVER see someone with the STONE NUTS or a PURE BLUFF watching you like a hawk.
The bluffers, however, typically have more interest in how you CALL (flop/turn) than the guys with super-strong hands. If you're calling in a way to signals strength, and "Hey, I'm not folding," this is something they need to know.
The guys with the super strong hands might not even BOTHER looking at you at all really.

I play exclusively live. Tells are a HUGE part of 1/2. Every hand has someone giving away information preflop or post flop. I can't take advantage of it often because I am not often in a hand. Post flop players give away a lot of information from tells and bet timing patterns. I'd say if I play a hand to the river about 50% of the time I pick up something.

At 2/5 I find far fewer tells. You have to closely pay attention. If they have common tells it is more subtle. Players at this level usually have specific tells. I watch for many sessions and take notes. Timing tells are still viable.

Players in their 20s display more emotions. Including skilled ones
Players in their 60s+ have static play styles. Including competent ones.
Players in their 30s that are skilled have specific tells and betting patterns.

You can't hide them all. Not even I can. I have caught myself making a tell every once in a while.

Haha I love the look at 13:30. He knows he dodged a bullet if a club came 😂

When Baldwin slides out his bet softly, that is a strong hand tell. See Mike Caro, "The Gentle Bet"

Hi Brad. Eye blinking speed! This has changed my life!

Nice Video. I wonder if Bobby was trying to induce a bet through some sort of reverse tell, knowing both were aware of this fairly classic tell (looking at chips) - Just by the timing, usually it'd be more of an automatic/quick glance as the card fell or when he first saw it.  He waits here and looks for a little while (maybe I'm overthinking it, but I'm thinking he thought he can give off an obvious tell that an experienced opponent would think Bobby would be aware of to level that opponent into betting their weaker/missed range).   I like to throw in some reverse tells, but all depends on who you are playing with too how they are interpreted. You know if you catch someone leaning back and glancing down at your feet, leave them out forward/strong if you are weak, or back/crossed if trying to induce a call, etc.   Knowledgeable players vs Knowledgeable players catch on to this though or take it inversely or just ignore it entirely for the math of course.

8:00 i think he was trying to make it look like he was bluffing to make him call

hand #1: pocket 10s means jamming so who cares about tells. #2 is a major freeroll doug polk shoutout. hopefully he'll give you a kickback lol. #3 is a very interesting hand with plenty going on... great video!

Very good video!

I think what you meant to say is that the villain in the second hand is named Doug Polk and hero gives off a physical tell.

Polk's a straight  GTO player. I've watched allot of his "hand analysis" videos, he's TOTALLY  oblivious to live tells.

Personally, I would be pretty hesitant to rely on a physical tell (that I hadn’t seen my opponent make at least a few times with the same result) when my opponent is a very seasoned high stakes cash game player like Baldwin.

that first one it looked like he was smiling thinking 'boy, you shouldn't have asked that question'...

The first example, the river bet wasn’t enough, also I think the tell is him saying, “are you going to bluff me again?” It’s like saying that and reverse psychology like I say that and I’m still going to bet

7:12 I'm not that the hand of Freedman on his stacks affect Polk since Polk did not see Freeman doing that.

Poker players Good at acting are Dangerous.  
Other players watching me closely are wasting their time.
I do reverse reverse reverse Tells.  😂
Thanks Good vid!

Lol Doug Polk is a youtuber... Best heads up player ever

"Doug being super observant." Doug didn't glance at the dude one time. Are you okay bro?

2:13 there’s about a hundred thousand US Doll hairs in the pot.
