"Im All In" Chip placement? |

Lately, whenever I play I concentrate 100% more on the oppenents actions every hand. I use to notice the major tells that everyone knows, but know I can find the minor tells that give me the edge. One that I've seen quite a bit that works with everyone is going all in, what they do with their chips....
Example 1-
Player A bets,
Player B goes all in, and does not touch his stack
Player A folds, and B shows the bluff.
Now, i thought to myself "hmmm, maybe he didnt move it to not to give any tells, or maybe he didnt want to put his money in the pot."
A couple of hands later, the same thing happens, but player A calls, and doubles up off of B
Ive seen this happen with 2 other people. So do you think its customary to not want to put your chips in when your bluffing, and wanted to put them in the pot when you got it?

That's a good job on your part and I think player A caught on too. One that I have been noticing in my game and on TV is that when someone checks, if they tap the table more than once they have a good hand. If they tap it once and/or say something while checking like I check to you they do not have a good hand.
Another tell that I have seen only during heads up(have to look for it during early stages) is that when someone first looks at their cards and then quickly glances towards the middle of the table or at their blinds they do not hold a good hand. Of course everyone knows if they immediately look at their chip stack or your chip stack after looking at their cards then they have a good hand.
Any others or insight to these would be appreciated.
P.S.(this is for weak players, not for pros)

I've got a friend who reaches for a cigarette anytime I raise in front of him and he has a hand he wants to play, but not to a raise. Even if he doesn't smoke, he usually puts his hand on his pack or looks for them.
I think the stress of making a decision for your chips triggers it.

It depends on the player. I, personally don't push all of my chips in when it's heads up and I go all-in. This is because 90% of the time I don't get a call. It's not that I'm trying to steal or that I'm bluffing, I'm just used to the respect I get when I go all-in. Good read on that player though. His mistake also for showing the bluff and giving away his tell.

This is good against a novice, but because so many ppl are aware of this tell, I occasionally use it to pull off a major bluff, and it rarely fails

A lot of times people don't put their chips in the post because they don't want to put forth the effort, or they have them stacked just the way they like them. If there is action after his all in, then the chips might move. They are waiting to see if they need to or not.
I wouldn't put too much faith in this "tell".

could go either way like shaky hands (huge hand or bluff)
i.e. maybe the player doesn't want to put his chips in cause he knows hes gonna win the hand for sure, and those are still gonne be his or theres your player A
