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.
