Can someone give me advice on how to read people in poker? I read a book that said sometimes you can tell if someone is weak by looking at his or her neck. If the vines are protruding that is the signal to go all in because he or she is weak 80% of the time.
Are there other body language that give off the strength of their hand? Please share.

I think this type of reading is overrated, even for live poker

despite that this video is 100 years old, most of it holds. And yeah like said above, poker isnt just reading people

ive used a live tell once and it was correct. when people call a big bet in a multiway pot, then dont look that the board and keep talking as if nothing happened indicates super strength, doesnt apply to complete whales or fishtards but for people u play with constantly ive noticed its accurate

Shaking hands, heavy breathing, and staring at you indicate a strong hand.
However, Drone666 is correct.

what drone666 said....
Spending your time analyzing many of these live tells will really be counterproductive to your growth and improvement as a poker player. Spend more time thinking about ranges a particular player has in a spot. Think about if they bet different sizings with different parts of their range in various spots. Think about ways to exploit their ranges in these spots. Things like this will contribute in a much more substantial way to your win rate and overall profitably in these live games than what trying to find physical tells will!
online bob is actually a pretty smart person, not at all like the creepy fucker that sits in the sofa telling me he does nasty shit to me when im asleep - pinball

Is it possible that you're a "bad reg"?

"if people act weak they are strong, if they act strong they are weak"
Very often true for live fish and sometimes online regs with little live experience i found. But usually I have to play for a while with someone to find any live tell. And sometimes the live fish are so extremly into "live tells" that they think the entire game is about it. These type of fish can acctually be better at it than most grinders (!)

If you plan on ever playing live poker, be it cash or donkaments, you'd be stupid to ignore live tells.

try to construct accurate ranges for multiple spots vs villain in live tables first and foremost. That said no point of constructing a range if villain falls out of his chair when the flop is dealt too..
There's a wealth of information at live games it's incredible. Within the first hour or so of play if you have not picked up any significant tells or relevant information about at least 1-2 people's ranges then you are most certainly doing it wrong or the game is especially tough <--(very unlikely) Pay attention to people when you are not in hands. What they are looking at, demeanor, micro expressions etc can all be huge indicators about how comfortable villain is in that spot, his hand strength blah blah. Pay especially close attention to big turn/river spots and showdown hands. These types of spots is where you can get the most information about players. But...don't be one of those idiot try hards that just staring down everyone at every moment in the game please, it's stupid and bad for the game.

Also doesn't really apply unless you playing 5-10++ in live games but I would also be very aware of your own body language and "ticks" and micro expressions. Hell, sometimes I find that some fish are extremely good at reading body language and picking up on micro expressions than most pros. But you can also trick them since they almost always rely 100% on those kinda "reads"
You can't be competent at this stuff over a short period of time. Takes many hours of practice and experience to build up knowledge and experience to become good at it. Like anything else, practice makes perfect.

You need to know first their attitude they way they are holding their cards. If they are holding and looking at their card too much it means that they have a good to best cards. If they are not looking at their card too often it means they have the best hand.

anyone else tilted by the new thing where everyone akwardly covers their face with their shirt or hoodie or whatever?
Was some new super live tell discovered where it is vital to hide your neck and lower half of your face? I swear i see people doing this shit everywhere; including the majority of the current high roller fields.

If I play long enough with people live I tend to pick up some tells here and there. Especially for recreationals. Its kind of automatic if you just pay attention.

Don't rely too heavily on tells. Just see how much and how confidently the opponent bets. Is it betting for value or trying to make me fold?

We have one guy that breaths really heaviliy when he doesnt like the situation he is in.
He is station that rarely bluffs, but I can for sure know he didnt hit flush for example if third spade on the river. So tells are really usefull imo

I remember these guys needling a 2/5 pro about all his tells, I've seen the man's live tracker, he consistently pulled 75k+ per year with several thousand hours combined.
bye now

Hello. I have been playing for 8 years, I often win. I'm not sure that this will help you, you see - at a professional level, this can play a trick on you (bluff is so popular). I tried all the games from the casino rating https://play.casino/free-slots/https://play.casino/free-slots/ and I advise you to find something similar for yourself - there is no easy way for a professional game, just experience.

If he becomes a statue he will double that.

Of course, players who are still on the first or second level also bluff. The reasons for this are as follows:
Lots of gamers watch TV too much. You saw someone start a big bluff on TV and want to be just as cool. They think of a successful bluff as a demonstration of their great game of poker.
Everyone knows that poker is bluffed. Basically, that's the first thing you associate with poker. Lots of people believe that playing poker and bluffing are one and the same thing. Beginners therefore consider bluffs to be an essential part of their game.

I wonder how one could read people in online casino games. Poker online is fun for sure but the decisive look in the eyes of the players is missing.
Such thinking is very dangerous at the poker table. The way you can read person at the holdem table is their gestures and gestures, as well as their betting pattern and style.
Here this site, Holdemgallery .Studying holdem strategy and poker theory information on these sites is much more helpful than seeping player's neck sir.
