I have probably failed in my initial goal of being able to sit down in any game and systematically analyse all the players for tells. I have written a blog on my progress on 2+2 poker forums if you want details of how I have got on- but here's the summary. I have spent close to the last 6 months trying to improve my use of tells within the game, with this book and the associated videos as support. Seeing them in the videos makes it much easier.Īn update. I highly recommend these alongside the book, as the visual nature of tells can be hard to explain.
Some are free on YouTube, some are for sale on his website.

Just one addition- there are a series of videos that the author produces. After only a couple of games I am starting to recognise patterns of behaviour and be able to interpret them. Reading the book is slightly unnerving, as I see actions and behaviours I regularly do- and my exact thought pattern is dissected for me! I have no doubt this book will improve my game, although I will give the same warning as the author- this is the icing on the cake, and not a replacement for solid poker fundamentals. This really helps you take the concepts and ideas behind them. The book is set out in a very structured way. Many people have said that the greatest value they got from this book was in being able to eliminate some common tells that they were unknowingly displaying. Reading Poker Tells also contains other tips on general poker psychology, including methods for deceiving and manipulating opponents, and ways to stay "unreadable". More importantly, it will give you a mental framework for thinking about and remembering poker tells by emphasizing how common situations can be similar or can be different (for example, the big difference between a Post-Bet situation and a Waiting-For-Action situation).

This book will teach you how professional poker players analyze the facial expressions, body posture, physical gestures, and verbal statements of opponents in a live poker game. This is the first book in his poker tells trilogy, following by Verbal Poker Tells (2014) and Exploiting Poker Tells (2017). Zachary Elwood's book Reading Poker Tells has been called the best book on the subject of poker behavior by many poker players, both amateur and professional.
