I get so excited that my hands start to shake when I am dealt pocket aces in live poker. To avoid giving anything away, I fold them preflop half of the time, so that observant opponents will think my shaking is a mix of strong and weak hands.
@@AlexDuvall I'd love to have Negreanu watch me toss pocket aces into the muck preflop and see if he can read me. Folding aces preflop makes me unreadable.
Hand shaking is actually a less usual tell you barely see it but when people have big hands lol a full house and stuff and they betting lots of chips they will start to shake a bit uncontrollably because they excited not because they nervous
My advice to anyone that is trying to avoid giving live tells, take your time with every decision you make, and pick a spot on table the focus your eyes. Avoid looking at other players until you get more comfortable playing with strangers. You won't be the life of the party but you'll be un-readable to recs and most regs
I find it easily to give reverse tells. The brain cant help but react giving off tells so to try to turn that off is difficult. I give reverse tells n even the same tells when im bluffing n when i got it. Dnegs is right tho. Mosyt recs wont even notice. Hell most recs wont even look at u lmao.
this is very good. also try to keep the time per decision point close, timing tells are given off often even by otherwise good players. i don't mean take a LONG time on every decision, but say 5-10 seconds or something like that. or whatever it is, keep it similar all the time.
Daniel has always been one of my favorite game players, not just poker. He's authentically interested in the human condition, his own, others, the world. His advice about allowing your feelings some space to be felt is a kind of wisdom that comes with age and is very hard to teach.
What I noticed is she thinks a lot when she has a decision to make, and not when she doesn’t, making it easier to infer what she has. It takes some time to learn to do things in the same rhythm regardless of whether the decision is easy or difficult.
the hand example at just before the 8 minute mark isn't a good spot to say he'll call since she looked weak, negreanu's got the 2nd best hand possible, heads up, when she entered the river with around an SPR of 1 (meaning he'd NEVER fold his hand regardless of her "tells" in this example).
I like to see if their eyes focus and hone in on the flop or if they just have a blank uninterested stare. Can sometimes tell from that if they connected to the flop at all or not.
She basically told him she had a good card with 'he's in my head', and it seemed so genuine like a continuation of the chat they'd just been having. After that he knew she had at least some high cards so when an ace came on the flop there was a good chance she's made a pair so he should fold
My guess for what Daniel saw: it was a combination of her pausing, focusing on something she seemingly liked (a lot), disengaging from the friendly banter, letting her smile retreat somewhat quickly, then checking BEFORE looking at his next move. All subtle to the novice, but obvious flags to a seasoned pro.
interesting, i didn´t see her glance at the chips, but her face right afterwards was telling me like "i have something supercool, but i can´t talk about right now, but you´ll see later"
some people have exploitable live tells. A guy I used to play with used to double clutch his cards when on a draw. The flop was low, so I knew he had low cards but didn't hit. I called him down with Qhigh -- poor guy lost his mind after betting all 3 streets.
Well tells will give away the strength of your opponents cards and although poker players try and hide tells they don’t know their giving a lot of info when I used to play a lot of poker I would notice people doing stuff that would let me get a at from hands pretty easily
I only just watched that long (8hrs) ~2 year old vid over a few days last month. Damn but the Poker Brat was in classic form. What a jackhole that "man" can be! 😛
I think the tell without reading chat or finishing the video yet. She was smiling when the cards laid down, and then closes her mouth still smiling with closed mouth
If you want to avoid tells, play without tendencies. Most people have this “book” mentality so it’s easier to spot tells. If your range is anything, even the great ones won’t trust their read. Only problem is you have to show your cards sometimes to let the table know you’ll play anything and in any way. If you do the same thing every time you have the same cards, it’s going to be easy to spot tells.
The best ‘fake tell’ imho is feigned impatience. Assuming it works at all, it’s only something you would use when you’ve got ‘da nuts’ and you’re hoping for a call. The idea is that assuming you’ve been calm & collected all game, a smart player might see an impatient sigh + eyeroll and think you’re starting to crack. A winning hand isn’t worried, it’s too busy praying the opponent will call. Or they’re an oblivious player and maybe being impatient pressures them into rushing their decision. Of course, the most likely outcome is still neither of those. Most players are too busy basing their decision on their own personal feelings about risk. They won’t even think yo base a decision on _your_ feelings
Love this. It’s funny you say about the chip gaze. I have always picked up on this, I usually say there was a hesitation. Wanting to bet out but don’t. Didn’t realise people do this automatically. It’s made me fold and I have known in which streets someone was thinking of betting or raising. I can tell even when someone is sitting right next to me.
Smiles are very easy to detect because when we smile genuinely our whole face including our eyes smiles with us, not just our mouth. The fake smile is something many actors are very bad at
Honestly Daniel is great and all but the fact is Alexandra has no table presence in this setting. I've seen her perform better on full ring livestreams, but heads-up with this legendary figure she was clearly feeling out over her skis the entire time-and as a result, her body language and demeanor were pretty transparent. It was not hard to tell when she was weak, pro or not!
Great example of choosing the right game to play. Even if someone bank rolled me to play heads up against Kid Poker, I'd decline knowing I was just going to hand the money over fairly quickly.
I wouldn't worry about giving away tells so much since most people won't recognize them anyway and for the one guy who can always seem to know when you are bluffing or seems to beat you in every pot I refer to them as the "nemesis" player and do my best to stay out of their way.
- you dont win with your hand - you win by knowingf the other's hand Best case is the QQQQ vs 9999 match, where the 9999 guy was so into his own hand he considered himself a winner and didn't spend a second to think of the other guy.
I’m an amateur photographer and I always try to get my subject to laugh while taking portrait photos because the fake smile is so obvious, especially when seen side-by-side with a real one.
That’s the best possible way to be wrong because you’re really just doing the math wrong once and applying it to every smile. So now you should be right every time. Whereas if you got some right and some wrong, that’s harder to sort out why you were wrong.

"Allow myself to do the full Hellmuth" 😂😂😂
I mistakenly said "Alexandria" instead of her correct name "Alexandra" this entire video so if you're watching *Alexandra, my bad!
That's a tell, Alex ! ❤
🤣
Don't worry about, this video is gold!
Hot diggity dog. This place is magnificent! - Negan

Don't fold pocket aces, just shake ur hand when u get a weak hand and fold it
Daniel Negreanu is easily one of my favorite pros. His presence at the table is so awesome. And obviously he’s one of the best to do it
He clips at the end of Daniel are hilarious lmfao
Legendary
The full helmuth

Yeah starting at one spot or covering your face during a big spot is always good

That sounds boring.
...that´s what i do, focus on like the middle of the table and cover my mouth. Cause that´s where i get most tells from other people.
this is very good. also try to keep the time per decision point close, timing tells are given off often even by otherwise good players. i don't mean take a LONG time on every decision, but say 5-10 seconds or something like that. or whatever it is, keep it similar all the time.
Folds k high on a Ace high board…. He’s a god
😂
K high, in a headsup match is pretty good
Turn a king or queen, you often have the best hand in HU!
@@perapoker if ur playing Linus or Polk
He was in position with the betting lead on an ace high board and check/folded you mean…..

Probably a chess habit that has carried over.
@@UnconventionalReasoning I don’t think it has to do with playing chess so much as not playing poker.
@@ewallt yeah she got dumb tells still
ya. i just always take my time unless its an easy lay down. if you look perplexed the entire time its hard to tell lol
@@dontpanic15 Good one!
It's always nice to observe a master in his craft.
Live tell master
Daniel described major Buddhist mindfulness practice here. And very well. No wonder he’s a poker pro! Love that
Thich Nhat Hanh, right there!

He called a rise with queen, ten honey. 😂
Never change Phil. It's too funny
My cousin was once alone in a lift with him in Vegas. He loudly passed wind and didn’t batter an eye. My cousin would have well have been invisible.😂
I like to see if their eyes focus and hone in on the flop or if they just have a blank uninterested stare. Can sometimes tell from that if they connected to the flop at all or not.
10:09 😂😂 I laughed so dang hard at Daniel there…
Dude has wisdom and applies it in the moment. Thats awesome

Exactly. Her face was basically a huge "I'm checking and I )(#*@) dare you to bet"
The mouth can smile but the eyes never lie.
When you've already mastered all the techniques and strategies then the final step is control of your emotions.
She checked and then looked straight at him to see what he would do and Daniel just started laughing. Eyes gave it away.
I didn't think I would be learning how to control my emotions and anger by Daniel Negreanu
thats how i deal with tilt every day. and him bein pissed at the end is because hes just mad that hes not playing live poker
The real tell was her smiling when looking at her cards but the smile immediately turning into a devious “I’m trapping u” smirk
This is why sunglasses are your best friend at the poker table!
Dude reminds me of a Edward Norton character but I can’t figure out which
Both Romanian 🇷🇴 background. Negreanu means the black one in Romanian. Botez means Baptized 😂
Glad to see I'm not the only one who cusses up a storm during online play. Lol
1:24. Alexandra looked at the pot, then her chips, and then decided to check. That was her tell.
Watching him freak out in the end made my day! I’ve never seen him like that ever! Hhahaah

I spotted all three of those "fake" smiles pretty easily, theres something really in-genuine about them
Alex getting under Hellmuth's skin is beautiful.
I only just watched that long (8hrs) ~2 year old vid over a few days last month. Damn but the Poker Brat was in classic form. What a jackhole that "man" can be! 😛
as the ancient chinese proverb goes "never go full hellmuth"
8:35 is the tip that is a real life skill that can be helpful far beyond the poker table.
Mike Caro was the first one to figure out the eyes to chips tell…
Didn't know Daniel was an Iron Sheik fan ! His tribute at the end is on point 👌🏼
Never watch the flop, if you are watching the flop you aren't watching the opponent
lol… the outro is just epic lmfao
The end was the best part lol
So what number tell is rubbing you fake eye until it bleeds?
The problem with Negreanu is he can look at you, tell you exactly what you have, know he's beat and he will still call.
I could watch a whole channel of just poker pros talking about tells, strategy, and emotion control.
I love Daniels play so much. He is the goat of live reads. 😊❤
New Meta: full face Botox for poker tells

Haan yaar, mast hai, 4RA ke events toh hamesha excitement se bhare hote hain
becuase we're talking, that is his magic, he gets you talking or at least interacting with him
Not rocket science, she glances at her chips.
1:28 she was cheesin with the A 6 suited
5:49 Nevermind the difference in pupil size, holy crap.

thing is that online tilt was yesterday
Comical how Phil tries the "do you know who I am?" bit... at a poker table where the furthest person away is like 5 feet. 😂
What was that last part with Daniel? That was hilarious!
He's a Jedi. Change my mind
So well known for her expertise that she developed her own gambit, the Botez Gambit.
"peace yall, tilt"
The amount of money lost through tells in the poker room has to be over a trillion dollars.
Is it an obvious tell to start rubbing one out under the table when you get pocket aces
Lol Daniel doing the full Helmuth 😅
Bhai 4rabet ke events ne toh humein ekdum family bana diya hai
The tell was that she was looking at his chips for a long time.
Very cool video! He says the SAME THINGS on one of his 'Master Class' classes! Amazing player
Allow myself to do the full Hellmuth 😂
Daniel's best bet has been on hairline restoration :)
He's going to tell her she looked at her chips.
The pause that she was thinking to bet, but a folding hand she would have been quicker with what she wanted to do with the hand, something like that
8:04 dammit daniel
I got the fake smiles 100%
4ra ke promotions bhi kaafi acche hote hai, World Cup T20 ke time to aur bhi achi deals milengi
she hesitated
This guy guesses nearly ever hand what folks have so, yes, he's gonna get it right every once in a while
Aur 4ra ke games bhi toh kitne diverse hain, har din kuch naya milta hai
4rabet ke events join karke aisa lagta hai jaise hum sab ek hi community ka hissa hain
4rabet pe har ball ka tension aur bhi mazedaar hota hai jab sab milke dekhte hain aur bhi azaa ayegana bhai
I'm so glad you said that about "faked tells." Even live people can't read their damn cards, much less tells. Well done, sir.
4rabet ke interface bhi bohot smooth hai yaar, World Cup ke time aur maza aayega

And in 2009 he’d already been doing it for years.
Daniel is my favorite player. He may not be the goat but he’s by far the most entertaining😂
did anyone else get none of the smiles right :(
That’s the best possible way to be wrong because you’re really just doing the math wrong once and applying it to every smile. So now you should be right every time. Whereas if you got some right and some wrong, that’s harder to sort out why you were wrong.
