Some advanced Texas Hold Em tells are more subtle and harder to grasp than others. I’m going to explain the basic chip stack Hold Em tells for you.
Players reaching for their stacks when you go to bet:
Bottom line a player wants to bet because he wants to play!
Basic – usually a sign that they are keen to bet because they have a good hand.
Advanced Texas Hold Em – advanced players will purposely do this tell when they have a weak hand.
Super Advanced – will do this four or five times when they have a weak hand and then when they have a very strong hand will pretend to do it, making you think they have a weak hand, so you bet all-in and lose.
Players looking at your stack:
Opponents that do this are literally ‘seeing’ your chips as theirs
Basic – usually a sign the player has a good hand are think they will win against you
Advanced Texas Hold Em – I find advanced players too look at stacks when they think they will win. But they might be looking at a different players smaller stack because they think they can beat that specific person
Super Advanced – will be looking everywhere and anywhere. I wouldn’t rely on this one here. Watch for being setup as well.
Players looking at their own stack:
When the cards drop on the flop, turn or river, a player that glances down at their own stack for a split second because they want their cards in the pot!
Basic – they have a good hand and want to play
Advanced Texas Hold Em – they have a hand they think they can win with and want to play
Super Advanced – Their thinking about how well they are going to obliterate you. Or they won’t even do the glance at all.
