It seems to me that too many people look for obvious tell. Most good players aviod tell like shaking hands or the stare down. But there are times when I can tell without knowing exactly why, I guy is bluffing or not.
Most of these are friends of mine that I've been playing for a while but if you asked me how I knew, I couldn't tell you.
I've watch people when the flop is layed down and said to myself, he got something big!
Anyone else get feelings like this?

sure, but it is a lot easier to read people you know fairly well. when you can sit down with strangers and pick up their tells fairly quickly, then, and only then, a jedi will you be!

And I think that's where we would all like to be, is it not? Not there yet, unfortunatly. Need to play with strangers more.

I usually host two or three live games a week. The thing is is that it's usually the same five or six people and we've, of course, had enough time to get pretty good reads on each other. Last Saturday I was invited to a game across town that had a full table counting me and one of my buddies that I play with all the time. I was amazed at how many of the tells that I've picked up on with my regulars are displayed by others. Everything from looking at their chips when the flop hit them to trying to show aggression when on a draw, I saw it all.

When I play I have the same dumb founded face whatever hand I got.

The best players have the same look all the time. Whether they missed their flush or hit their full boat, you can't tell. That is why they are the best.

I catch more tells, or get that "I know exactly what they have feeling" when I am not looking directly at people. I just catch something out of the corner of the eye, or in the sound of their bet, and I know.
That being said if they go all in and there is a puddle of urine under their chair, that is usually an obvious tell.

That is funny
I also think a good tell is by listening to the sound of their bet.
And that is mainly through not looking directly at them all of the time.
That, along with some other obvious tells can put someone on their hand.

I think its opposite actually. I listened to some of the pros talk about this and they said that holding a straight face is best for beginners because they don't realise all the ways that they can give off tells. But the more expeirenced pros will have a whole bag of expressions that they will throw out thier to confuse you with. Take Gus Hanson, or Daniel Negreneau for example.
But there still are people like Phil Ivey who are going to have the same look no matter what, but he is so unphased by any situation that his look is just natural i think.
I am still learning the ins and outs of tells so I still use the straight emotionless face.

I try to keep an emotionless face in a tourney, but in a cash game I loosen up a bit and let my expressions help out my pocketbook. 8)

Phil Ivey and Chris Ferguson both.. I don't think I've ever seen either one of them get excited about anything.
It's unreal.
What's worse is at the same time that they're cold as ice with their emotions, they can read everyone else like the cards are face up. They're two of my favorite players just for that.
