Decent content. Only problem can be that because most live players don't really understand the relative strength of hands, what they perceive as strong in certain spots might be weak and vice versa
100%. It was a long time ago, but had AJo close to the button. Raised and got two callers, one being in the big blind. Had a jack high flop and the BB went allin. Dude was shaking like a leaf while ready to flip over his cards. I ended up folding thinking it had to be a set or two pair atleast. Showed my hand and he flipped over the same hand and yelled "I knew I had the nuts". Way overvalued his hand, and a perfect example of live tells being hard to realize since some inexperienced players don't realize their hand strength.
Years ago I played regularly with a guy who was real good detecting other players tells, and he would never spill them. So I practiced doing everything the same way no matter if the hand was good, bad, or neutral. Set the cards the same every time. Looked the same places, checked the chips, etc. It took a lot of concentration to get it there, but I got the hang of it.
It's like basketball players, the best free throw shooters follow the exact same routine their entire career in a pre-shot ritual. Most people probably don't apply it to poker, but setting a routine should be habit, and could save tons of grief.
This is actually a really strong tell because it's completely uncontrollable. It's called a release of tension and it's caused by the drastic shift in your body chemistry that comes from coming out of that moment of suspense where you were awaiting the outcome of the flop. If you see somebody shaking as they put money into the pot it's a tell-tale sign that they are SUPER strong. Just make sure you observe them in their normal state too. The last thing you want to do is put a lot of stock into this "tell" and then find out the guy has Parkinsons. If he normally doesn't shake but she's shaking now, you should know he's got the goods.
staring hard at the community cards i find is usually a sign of weakness... when you've hit your hand you already know you've hit it, the only thing they could be doing is trying to figure out what you have (which could be a slow play of course)... in my home game i often find that when someone stares hard at the community and then at your chips, theyre most often trying to figure out what they can pretend to have while thinking theyre making you think they know exactly whats going on
I had a guy ask me if I would show if he folds after I made a big river bet, I said "yea I'll show" ( and this was because I know how not knowing if you made the right lay down eats at you ). He instant called and I showed him the winning hand lol. He then says proudly "ILL ALWAYS CALL IF THEY SAY YES " - ( noted sir, noted ).
The classic tells of lying - scratching your face. A quick smirk. Touching forehead - shame. Fear - hands behind their head. Being very very still/stoic = strength. It would be interesting to make video with tells actually analyzed
I agree with all of these. Of course you have to use past experiences and watch players carefully to know who is capable of reverse tells. I certainly have picked up on all of these through my playing days and will do some of these in reverse when need be. Just as important as it is to be aware of other player it is important to be aware of yourself too. Mix it up and they will never know what’s going on. Crush those home Games!
Tells are like encryption: it's not what you do, per se, but the patterns. For example, I do the exact OPPOSITE of your "simple" tell: I show my cards when asked if I have a strong hand and don't, otherwise. However, if I repeat this pattern, then voila - I'm toast. Encryption only works if you bury the patterns. The best encryption processes seek to use the exact same number of each character w/o any repeated patterns. Have fun trying to crack that.
these are very basic and good, thanks and im not complaining ;) but home games are usually messy and chatty and a lot of these tells get lost or missed because its not a "serious game" (my home game is a lot of money, but we arent taking it seriously if that makes sense) ... i think the best tells are about body language, for example i saw in a video that when people are nervous theyll often pull their feet under their chair, and when relaxed stretch out... next game i checked for this a few times (not easy to check this however from across the table) and it proved right... id love to see a more advanced 'tells' video even if its based on people you know, those tells are often more common than we realize
my best poker tip to counter speech-play... just repeat what they say... “Will you show if i fold?”... reply... “will you show if i fold?”... prevents any tell your side.
this is almost always a flex move... if they really have a strong hand they dont care how much you have behind, or would just estimate it themselves, theyre probly trying to plant the seed of doubt in your mind or get a reaction out of you
Generally agree with this. Good job. But i do reverse tells so if someone ask show if i fold i will say yes in my strong hands. I dont mind showing my cards. No one can read me anyways.
I never answer any question from someone I’m in a big pot with. If they ask how many chips I have I may lift my arm out of the way so they can see but when someone asks questions like what do you want me to do or will you show me I never answer (unless it’s a small pot then I may for fun engage)
i had a guy in my game that i played with for probly a year before i realized that when he put his hands behind his head he was bluffing... tbh i really wasnt paying much attention, once i started looking for tells i start finding them all over the place, so interesting
The quick glance is a classic tell but how that can make you money is puzzling. Yeah, if you have the nuts, you'll be able to extract more money, but most of the times it's a defensive tell that SAVES you money
Thanks. Now I’m going to exhibit the exact opposite tells when I’m playing next. But wait! The opponent’s gonna expect it. I guess I’ll just bring a motorcycle helmet.
I'm amazed when playing at stakes (example) 300$ buyins and more, with 4 or 5 chip stacks of $1,000 or more on the table, how only me and maybe one other seems to be paying attention to the other players!
Folding AK if you don’t have chips to show. Isn’t a bad thing. You have to be more worried about your stack than the card on the table. Not going all in on AK is ok. Play your range but never over extend. Leave yourself an out trust yourself and make sure if somone is dog walking the table with raise trust you hand
means you have to play with people a few times to get to know their tells... applying reads on strangers is very hard to do , you kind of have to treat them generically...
Not saying this video has a negative impact on poker, but this seems like there is a big advantage to wearing sunglasses which is obv -ev for the game cause less fish.
There's a very simple obvious tell. Say a player does not watch the anyone at the table most of the time. Then once in a while during a hand, he suddenly starts watching you and others with interest. This most likely means that he has something and wants action, and likely he's not bluffing.
id say try and figure out your own tells, or at least how you act when youre weak and when youre strong, and look for that in other people... figuring out your own tells is hard cause you think youre trying to just be normal all the time but youre not... i will usually act distracted when im strong, start a conversation or even get up and get a beer etc... so when im bluffing ill do the same thing .... in one instance im trying to seem disinterested and in the other im trying to seem comfortable
Ok the last one I do the opposite of what he said. the real value is in the voice. You need to be aware of how their voice changes when being honest and when lying. I only answer the question if I'm in a .25 .50 home game at a kitchen table. when the stakes are higher backroom or casino never answer that question stay in conceal mode. When you first start reading pick the weakest players to read just a few at a time and play gto agianst the rest. Drinking alcohol will loosen up an opponent and their face becomes naturally more honest and in non indian casinos the drinks are free and people can't help them selves. 1-2 in las Vegas Nevada is the easiest games in the nation because 1-2 player in a backroom from anywhere else in america won't go to Vegas to play 1-2 they'll play higher so if youre gonna take a shot take the shot in Vegas
The shoulders. Sitting up in ones chairs is sign of strength. But like you say, sample size it first. Look for patters. Mix and match as there are many micro facial expressions to confirm suspicions. Agree? And as a successful amateur of over ten years I can honestly say that nothing has made me more money than watching faces, postures as flop, turn and river come off. Cash money MFers! 💰💰
Sometimes i'll fondle my chips, suggesting a bet, only to check, while holding strength - then other times i'll do the same exact thing when holding trash...wheres the tell?
My favorite tell is than he starts talking ohhh i font know what to do acting like he has very bad hand, but still calling the bets 😭 or even shoving the rivers, always the nuc 🤣
You just made me self aware of myself looking at the cards and then looking away when i have a huge hand. Shit. Better start working on not doing that so much
Has anybody else noticed that British people either sound 10 IQ points smarter just with the accent or Hella shady and scammers just need your first impression sorry continue
If this video took a lot of effort to make I am scared to look at your other videos. It seems like an incredibly basic video from an editing perspective, and no real new poker info.
Throwing cards at the dealer during the hand is a sign of weakness
One of the biggest! Lol.
🤣
i have actually never won a hand where i did that. Thanks for the tip!
Well not 100% I got to talking and accidentally mucked my aces. Just picked them up and tossed them ya I did that.
@@codymiller5731 🤣 me too
Decent content. Only problem can be that because most live players don't really understand the relative strength of hands, what they perceive as strong in certain spots might be weak and vice versa
true. 9 ppl table at the tournament UTG called with QToff and won by lack when I had KK on BB :D

How do you know he was using tells as the basis for his decisions? I call on that guy not seeing shit in terms of tells. Wasted effort by you
There’s so much additional information you can pickup from your opponents who are unaware. Great video!
Long glance at hole cards weakness. Very short glance, strength.
I love online poker, but the live tells aspect of live poker has always been fascinating to me. Nice video, Payday!
Exactly why i wear sunglassrs 😂
I’ve noticed that if a guys hands start shaking, he has a very strong hand,he might even knock over his chips

Or it might be a sign of Parkinson's 😭😭😭
@@BigBiscuittt😂
@@connman8d617 there was an A on the board and guy was shaking putting in his chips. Was there with KK
Love it - the card protector tells have always rang true for me - I stopped playing with one a few years ago once I noticed this! Great video Payday
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed :)
I still use one but I try to be consistent and use it for bad cards as well as good.
I vary it up w a chip on top at times, including false show of strength by protecting. Not sure how often my 1/2 villains ever notice 🤷♂️

You forgot to mention that if you see a player eating a sandwich, it's a sign of weakness
Confirmed sign of weakness.
Definitely going to play all loosey goosey
What kind of sandwich though?
Only if they are eating it all loosy goosy
@@ThirstLounge this strategy works so well for kids under 12.

Being very still/stoic is not always strength. It depends when the player talks alot with bad cards or in between the plays
I find most bluffs they turn to stone and value they just seem a little less stiff and more comfortable in general
I agree with all of these. Of course you have to use past experiences and watch players carefully to know who is capable of reverse tells.

Yes, I do reverse timing tells online all the time.
As well as use all of " the fish bet sizes ".

cheers Adam anytime i play you live now i will be pulling my cards toward me and looking away once ive seen the flop with my 26os lol
Haha!
ThirstLounge If a player won’t answer you when you ask if they’ll show when you fold do you lean one way or the other?
these are very basic and good, thanks and im not complaining ;) but home games are usually messy and chatty and a lot of these tells get lost or missed because its not a "serious game" (my home game is a lot of money, but we arent taking it seriously if that makes sense) ... i think the best tells are about body language, for example i saw in a video that when people are nervous theyll often pull their feet under their chair, and when relaxed stretch out... next game i checked for this a few times (not easy to check this however from across the table) and it proved right... id love to see a more advanced 'tells' video even if its based on people you know, those tells are often more common than we realize
my best poker tip to counter speech-play... just repeat what they say...
“Will you show if i fold?”... reply... “will you show if i fold?”... prevents any tell your side.
I like the word "maybe" for a lot of table banter.
This video is fantastic! Great Job Adam!
What are the tells for "How much do you have behind?"
In my experiences that means they’re going all in
this is almost always a flex move... if they really have a strong hand they dont care how much you have behind, or would just estimate it themselves, theyre probly trying to plant the seed of doubt in your mind or get a reaction out of you
Was fun making this one with you homie. I learnt a few things as a result so thanks bud !
Lol no one cares u involved bro
Yeah, no one cares. Stop leaching off your bro, bro
Generally agree with this. Good job. But i do reverse tells so if someone ask show if i fold i will say yes in my strong hands. I dont mind showing my cards. No one can read me anyways.
Eating Oreos and having a dry mouth is a tell.
my favorite tell is which way the dealer pushes the pot.
I never answer any question from someone I’m in a big pot with. If they ask how many chips I have I may lift my arm out of the way so they can see but when someone asks questions like what do you want me to do or will you show me I never answer (unless it’s a small pot then I may for fun engage)
Awesome video guys! This is a fun topic to discuss and I'm always looking for things like this.
i had a guy in my game that i played with for probly a year before i realized that when he put his hands behind his head he was bluffing... tbh i really wasnt paying much attention, once i started looking for tells i start finding them all over the place, so interesting
What about when the player won’t answer your question?
well done Adam! spot on
The quick glance is a classic tell but how that can make you money is puzzling. Yeah, if you have the nuts, you'll be able to extract more money, but most of the times it's a defensive tell that SAVES you money
Isn't also possible some players could deploy fake tells to throw off observant players?
2:07 what is a multi-way pot?
Thanks. Now I’m going to exhibit the exact opposite tells when I’m playing next. But wait! The opponent’s gonna expect it. I guess I’ll just bring a motorcycle helmet.
In my personal experience, saying no to will you show me if I fold signifies weakness
Wrong because one wouldn't want to show aggression/defiance vs opponent when you are bluffing (typically)
Enjoy guys! There are a ton of tells! Let us hear yours!
Payday! Great camera presence. I would not have bet on you as best on-air talent, Sorry Pardy and Train, but I'm wrong all the time.
Ah thank you man! Dope to hear that!
dude that new carls jr ad had me dying
And if they say nothing on poker tell #6?. Also I found the quick chip glance - strength to hold true.
That means strength majority of the time cause they don’t wanna scare you away

Jeez I’m just ganna stick to counting cards it’s so much easier haha and don’t have to be stressed
I’m pro at the false glance tell 😅
cool when people ask ‘will you show’ and you say no, just so you could show the bluff after #nextlevel 😊
Train is such an amazing actor!

What if they don't say anything at all for the final one?
I’d wager that’s closer to saying “no” than “yes” as silence invoked discomfort in the way a no does, signifying strength.
this is what you should do, i would say that its a sign of weakness mostly because when im bluffing i wont respond lol
My poker tells are unmatched
Wtf you need a card protector for?
I’m more so watching this to know what I need to avoid doing lol
if they light cigarette and drink water are extremly powerfull!
kool good stuff thanks
sick ass table
The biggest tell is having a sleeve tattoo.
should you look to behave the opposite of what you've described or try to look pokerfaceish all the time?
Good tips. Plan on watching it 5 more times and burn it into my mushy brain
All true but very amateur tips
If an opponent keep staring at you and try to intimidate you, that’s a sign of weakness

In your case, the tell is that you are not going to bet when it gets to you.
The best tell about poker karma--he does'nt watch foolish videos to make poker money. When he becomes an "advanced" player, he make YT vids.
Ask why they bet so much...if they give you a funny witty reason why...they have it.
Niceeeeeeeeeeeee!
not much you can do against aggressive players except to just outflop them
If a player mucks their cards, they are probably weak. Thank me later
