Common tells have always been associated with peoples physical movements, twitches, jerks, and generally odd behavior during a game. Know these, and you can read a person as easy as See Spot Run! Here are some of the most common tells:

Common Online Tells

*In general if a more seasoned person thinks for a while, then raises it's a safe bet they're NOT bluffing.

*A bad or new player who spends some time thinking is probably holding a weaker hand and having some internal debate on what to do.

*In limit, a quick raise on the flop generally means top pair.

*Someone who is frequently raising the pot preflop and then folds at the flop if someone bets at him is likely to be on tilt.

*In limit, a quick call with two flush or straight cards out generally means a draw.

Common Live Tells

*When the flop comes and a player glances quickly at the chips he's probably got a strong hand.

*Shaking hands is always a good sign of nerviousness. In most cases the player doing the shaking will have a bad hand. That is UNLESS they are doing it on purpose.

Watch out for very seasoned players as this tactic could mean they're trying to fake you into doing something stupid.

*Also, when a player reaches for a drink that can be a sign of nerviousness. However, they could just be thirsty.

*When you get the 'stair down' by a newbie that's a good indication they're bluffing.

*If that same new/bad player puts their hand over their mouth it can mean they have a good hand. They're trying to hide a toothy grin.

Attention! What You Are About To Read Is ONLY For No-Limit Hold'Em! (Don't say I didn't warn you!)

No-Limit Hold'em ring games require more bluffing and pshychological prowis than any other popular poker game you can think of.

However, as in all things, you must Know Your Opponent before using these techniques. Because if you use the wrong push on the wrong guy - It can go sideways on you in a hurry!

If you're in a lower stakes game (a buyin at $100 or less), I can't really sugest trying to psych out the other players that much.

Sure you can use a flop bluff every now and then, that can be proffitable, but if you push them too hard, these opponents will probably pay off their whole stack on hands as low as second pair.

In these games, you should just bide your time, make a good hand, and then drive it home with pot-sized bets!

Once you're in a game that's $200 buy-in or more the mind games you're going to read about will have a better effect. Especialy if people's stacks are deep (more than 100 big blinds).

However, before you start psyching, you need to know who you're dealing with. Here's how you can break them down into categories:

1. Fish. These guys are just playing their hand, not yours. If you bet big and they have a bad hand, they will fold. If you bet big and they have top pair, they will call provided you do not do something scary like put them all-in. They will not bluff much at you.

2. Weak-tight. These guys also just play their hand, but will call less than the fish. They are not willing to lose all of their chips on top pair unless they think you are a maniac. Bluff these guys out of a good number of pots (but not much so that they will attempt to trap you later on).

3. The Sheriff. These guys are similar to fish but understand the game enough to where they know when the only thing they can beat is a bluff. However, they often think you are bluffing and will call you down.

4. Tight-aggressive. These are your tactically sound players. However, their No-Limit ability differs largely based on how well they read their opponents. In general, they are much more eager to bet at the pot than call. Against these players, changing pace is necessary. You should occasionally trap these players with strong hands and occasionally go over the top at them. By continually changing pace, you may be able to bully them into becoming too 'weak-tight' or by becoming a sheriff. Notice which direction they are going into and then take advantage of that strategy.

5. Hyper-aggressive. These guys like to bet and raise. It's almost impossible to tell if they are bluffing or have the nuts a lot of the time. These players can be dangerous, but you need to make an effort to trap them. While it is good to 'test' them by raising them, do not always do this with a hand because it will become a clear signal to them. Do not let these guys know what you have by raising. Play your hands differently and certainly trap them sometimes when you have a strong hand like a set.

6. Tilting players. Whatever set these guys off, these guys are on tilt. They're going to bet all of their chips in. Best strategy here is to just let them do the betting because they may fold if you do it and they have nothing.

In general, you should only play mind games with tight-aggressive and hyper-aggressive players. These other players act predictably, so there is no real reason to change them. However, you do not want to be bullied by hyper-aggressive players, and you do not want to live in fear if a tight-aggressive player bets because this is what these players want. You need to consistently change your image to these players. You want to make it difficult for them to think you are tight-aggressive or a hyper-aggressive. When changing your pace, you should also pay attention to several small, important things such as:

1. Where you bluff. If you always bluff at the flop, they will begin calling you on the flop in the hopes that you will reveal your strength on the turn. So often it is best to switch up where in the pot you bluff.

2. Your preflop play for certain types of hands. You shouldn't always gear your preflop play to what is just 'technically' sound. Even though you want to see the flop for the cheap with small pairs or suited connectors, you should sometimes raise just for deceptive purposes. This is especially a good idea with a medium pair in late position.

However, perhaps the most important mind game is how much you bet. You should not bet based on how much your hand is worth, but how much your opponent's hand is worth. Bad opponents will let you know what their hand is worth by betting its value. However, good players will bet how much they think you value your hand. To bluff someone out, you generally must bet more than how much they value their hand (if someone is smart though, they may realize this and call you if you have been bluffing a lot). However, to maximize the value of your made hands, you should bet how much your opponent will be willing to call given their hand. Examples of this in play:

1. If you have a high full house, you should especially bet hard because there is a good chance your opponent has a smaller full house

2. If you have a flush and the board is paired, you should bet 1/2 to 2/3 of pot because you want someone with trips to just call. Betting very hard in this situation will only lead you to be called by someone who has a full house.

3. Leading into your opponent. If your opponent is raising (and you don't think he is bluffing). A good strategy is to bet small, have your opponent raise, and then re-raise him all-in. This is especially strong if you hit a weird straight and you are certain your opponent has a set or two pair.
