#PokerNugget #tells  Tells must be divided into pre-flop and post flop tells.  However both have one thing in common.  That is a player should always wathc his opponent for a change in emotion, behavior and body postrure.  There is no static tell per se as every player is different during the course of playing.  Therefore, it is essential to always watch every player while they are involved in hands.  Many times the information that is gathered(tell) is not from the immediate hand but the baseline you get from prior hands. An example would be what I call gabby player becoming tight lipped player when playing a hand preflop out of postion.  Gabby player is still gabby when having a medium holding but becomes stoic and stiff when he has a monster.  I am folding this hand even when I have a monster. I was in the money in a big tourney and woke up with KK in early position.  I raised and was 3 bet.  Then the BB popped out a huge raise and went from gabby to being completely stoic. He ia well known pro and I knew he had one of 4 hands(AA,KK,K,QQ). I had two kings so the odds of AK and KK were quite small especially given his range.  After watching him for about a minute or so of becoming more statuesque I folded my kings. Another fold and he slammed his aces down bemoaning his bad luck that noone had a premium hand.  My comment was I folded Kings and eveyone of course said I was lying.  The card weron top of the muck and I invited the dealer to give them a look which of coursse should never tranpire.  She obliged and our villain pro's jaw dropped and of coursse you could hear the how could you lay that down.  Very simple, preflop tell.  Wish I had followed that reading ability in  3 WSOP events in 2012 when my KK ran into AA as I knew it, had the same read but was stubborn.
