I have check some of the video. I find them a little weird : " when the guy is deposing his money whining on the turn, it mean he has strengh!"
I mean it is pretty easy to figure it out, and not all tells tell you the same thing for every person.

best tell I see is when someone before looking at their cards is doing something stupid like making jokes or something embarassing, and if they raise in this case they'd have a good hand for sure.

Yo I have super system I know who Caro is, but the few video I saw, I figure it out before seeing the video.
Second, it is very possible that a player does the exact opposite. I dunno if he state it, probably in another video.

I have to agree. Caro's book is stale to me. In fact, I think most experience players have already read or skimmed through it. I know alot of people who will play that "part" exactly the way Caro portrats it in order to trick newer players, especially at high stakes tables in the Bellagio. So you can't put too much faith in it.

I have to agree only to a part of what you say.

After that you can use a lot of tells efficently.
The tells are not 100% sure of course, but they should be used to increase your win%. I.e. if your 60% sure you have the best hand, a tell can increase your faith to 75%... not bad.
Definately, tells are mostly efficent comming from bad players vs good players. The money always comes from there any way, so lets get even more!!!

If your sitting at a table with a few of these players whop can throw out the reverse tells, then your the fish. Theres probably 3 you have noticed are sharks like that, and 3 others who just dont give away any tells. Your playing a game way too tough. There should be plenty of othere tables at the same limits (ok maybe not) to choose from. Game Selection people, change tables if possible.
Caro's Is a an excellent piece of work. Just like the strategy books, it is not a set of rules IF a then B. Its a set of guidelines, If A then most likley B. HTe card protections, Glancing at chips, shaking, ready to act out of turn, are all tells that I pick up probably every hand when I play live, you jsut got to know how to read them in context. Caro tells you what type of things to look for and how to interpret them. He never says these are absolute tells, he just gives types.
COuple that in perticular come to mind that I may have missed with out reading Caro's:
1) Ok I would have probably figured this one out, but Caro helped catogorize this one. I have a marginal, but bettable hand, SB Checks the turn, I bet, 2 calls, SB sighs in indecision, then raises. Hes trying to project weakness when he jsut turned top 2. Yeah the raise clinched it for me.
2) A guys Dentures falls out and hits the table when the board comes
. I think hes got something. Hes usually quite expressionless.
3) One of the regualrs I play against has a tremble in his hand when he gets a solid or better or hand. His hand shakes as he meekly slides his bet out along the felt.
4) Another Regular Always puts his hands flat on his cards when he plays, protecting them, One hand he raises PF, and clutches his cards in a claw, cards hovering about 1/4 of an inch off the felt. I bet the guy next to me that he had AA, I won the $20.
All of these I picked up from Caro, of course I could have eventually figured them out by myself, but reading Caro's catorgories of Tells helps you determine what each tell means.Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.
Luck is a Residue of Design.
