In a previous tutorial I showed you how to spot bluffs and tells in Poker. It is available here Spot Poker Bluffs.
Because of the great demand for additional video tutorials on Psychology and Body Language, I decided to turn it into a video tutorial.
What is the Difference Between a Bluff and a Tell?
Bluffing is when the other guy wants to make you think they have a bad or good hand. A Tell is a mannerism that informs you on whether their hand is good or not. Spotting bluffing is pretty easy to do, but spotting a tell will take some time at the table.
