Poker Tells that Say "I Have a Good Hand!"

Poker Tells that Say "I Have a Good Hand!"
•Acting Uninterested in a Hand While Still in It
This is usually a sign of a strong hand. The player is pretending that he’s not excited about his cards – but he is.


•Shaking Hands
During a hand, if you notice a player’s hands are shaking as she places her bet, she probably has gotten a really, really good hand. Perhaps the nuts.


•Rapid Breathing
Some players can control the shakes, but it's harder to control the automatic heart-racing that comes when you see pocket aces or hit the flop really hard. If you can see a player's chest visibly rising and falling, they have an excellent hand


•Sighing and Shrugging
If a player makes a show of sighing or shrugging, and says things like “Oh, I guess I’ll call,” or even “Why am I calling?” he probably is overacting and is trying to hide a big hand.


•Glancing at Chips After Looking at Hole Cards
When a player looks down and sees strong hole or pocket cards, she may glance over at her chips to see just how much she can bet.

Good beginner information.

The majority of the tells listed say 'usually, probably or may', but this one:

It should read usually, probably or may have an excellent hand. You just can't say anything concrete like that.

what i you are playing agianst micheal jay fox ?

ok im sorry that was in bad taste

I find it rather amusing how some players think they can recognize online tells. If live table tells are questionable, and they are, how in the world can a tell from a server controlled, electronic, purely graphical game be reliable??? My advice: watch your opponents betting habits and play the game. Thats as close as you're gonna get to an online tell.

when playing online you must change up your play all the time to keep every one guessing. you should also play a weak hand the same as you do a strong hand. imho

When the round starts follow the action, don't look at your cards immediately so you can spot the tells

Definitely limping in on first position is a good tell that you have a strong hand.

Sometimes I just really wonder....Is there someone out there really watching my online play... when I hesitated did they get a tell?? I really was just getting a beer...when I checked instead of bet...I really did miss my play was on another site....I know I do some crazy shit sitting here and I'm just not telling......

i try to keep notes on the players when online,and to me unless your in a private game there isnt alot of tells that hold up because in the freerolls especially peeps will do anything at random.

I usually fidget in seat a lot,, if i was playin live,, and they all think thats a tell,,, till they know me. hehe,, I Just do that casue back was bothering me in the seat. so u cant always "tell" the reasons for the "tell" lol ok GL all.

can be good info

nice...

good advice for live play, tells are def. harder to see online...either way

My tell is whenever I claim to 'have the nuts' ... I do ... lol

this is why I would rather play online as opposed to live - online: I can shake, yell "YES! HOTDAM! OMG!", jump up & down, and no one knows the difference, lol... Live...with my Brother - forget it! Neither of us have to do anything different, no tells to anyone else, but we can look at each other & KNOW what the other has :D

Online is kinda hard to tell in the UB ring games..people always bet the pot on their starting raise preflop, and usually suck out on you with J7 or some kinda hand like that. I do like playing in the 72 ring games seen alot of money won and lost on the worst hand!
