Tell's : tell them or dont??

[thetank]

Good for you,

I've just had a horrible run at sit n' gos to kick off my day.

Played 12

5 bubble finishes

0 cashes

Lost 9 out 9 races eek

[Newmanseye]

ouch that an icy run

[thetank]

I can't recall the last time I went 12-0

Turning around now, I got 2 1sts and a 2nd from the next 4.

Won't be throwing myself in the Clyde just yet.

[Newmanseye]

I just bubbled for the first time today, omaha hi lo and I arsed it up big time.  BTW the max rake at wpt is £1.84 that seems fair to me.

[thetank]

Yeah that's a fair sterling rake.

[Newmanseye]

Will you be in for the tourney on monday?

[thetank]

Most likely

[Highstack]

FFS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you must NEVER EVER release information about tells (unless its me of course and I will happily buy you a beer or two )

More importantly, if you know that they are looking for them, thenjust make sure that you throw in the occasional reverse tell too. Particularly when you hold the nuts, do any thing at all possible to look like that brick card hit your hand.

Quick Question - What is a tell? 

[thetank]

I saw a dog sat down playing cards wih a bunch of guys.

I said to one of the fellas, "That must be a very intelligent dog"

"Not really," he replied "Every time he gets a good hand he wags his tail"



The dog wagging his tail is a "tell" it means it tells the other players what kind of cards he holds.
Anything a player says or does at the table when they hold a particular hand is a "tell". For example, one player might breathe slower when he's bluffing, another might breathe faster, one laughs heartily when he's missed the flop perhaps. They can be very profitable if you notice them.
