One of the tells he mentions is if an opponent is covering their mouth, chances are they are bluffing. But I have been in similar situations when in fact them covering their mouth meant they had a good hand. | ||

I agree that it's boring to watch but I don't play for your entertainment unfortunately :p I watch Elky alot though, it's pretty fun to see. Haven't read any book so I most definitely don't think they are a must for online ring play. | ||

You can't come in cold turkey, see some guy shake while betting on the river, and assume he has the nuts. A tell is something you generally need to observe over the course of a game before being able to apply it. The part of the book that I felt was most beneficial was not necessarily having that big list of tells, but his explanations of WHY people do the things they do. Basically it was the introductions to most of the major sections of the book. With that information, you can begin trying to pick out your own tells on people depending on how they play. Personally, I've found that picking up a tell on a player is as rewarding (if not more) than winning money. However, that's just me and about 99% of my poker expeirence has been through offline events. | ||

I did not read the book, and from what I see, I think poker forum are just as good hehe. And harrington is tournment play, I am more ring play. Although I don't think I need a book anymore. I might read some of the new book, but I don't think they are going to be that good. Like, super system ( old I know) , the only few thing I really remember is that you absolutly need an 5 or a 10 to make a straigh, which is pretty basic put I had never thought about it lol. | ||

Maybe someone can say something insightful I've just started playing .. 0.01/0.02 NL mostly I'm having trouble with the following situation: I join a table where about 2/3 of people all play very loose. They play at least until flop like 80% of the time. I hear it's a good idea to fold a lot and play good cards. Since they are all playing lose they notice me quickly and when I act with good cards they fold and i collect tiny pots. And if I don't play good cards I tend to lose because, well, they are bad cards, and rarely does everyone fold and somebody likely DOES have good cards. What's a good way to go about in dealing with players like this? I'm sure they aren't very common at higher stakes but meanwhile... | ||

Play more hand, raise a lot so that you get an image( lol an image for 1/2 cent) if you have a tight image. | ||
