I just finished playing my brother in a 2 dollar heads up match. I looked at my hole cards and had J 3 off suite. My brother and I checked pre-flop. The flop came K 8 Q two spades. He raised 10 cents and I re-raised him 40. He asked me how much I had and I replied $1.35. He raised all in. I took my sunglasses off and glared at him. Because of this book, I noticed a couple tells on him. 1. His pupils enlarged (showing a bluff). 2. His feet weren’t shaking, (a sighn that he dosn’t have a solid hand). 3. He looked me straight in the eye the whole time (another sighn of a bluff). It took me a minuet to figure this out, and I immediatly called. He had 9 5 off suit. On the river came a deppressing 5. He won 4 dollars that night, but now I’m not as oblivious to tells then before I read this book. So thanks Joe. Your book was a fun read. It brought me more aware to tells than ever before. If you are an aspiring poker player this is a must have.

This is a great book. Joe really explains things well. Pretty soon you will be reading players like…an open book.

This is a decent take on tells, except it really should have been a pamphlet, not a book. It goes on and on about this FBI guy’s qualifications, but really only has a few key points to make. Mike Caro’s book, even though dated, is much more info-packed and interesting to read. And Hellmuth is a hypocrite, talking about how Joe Navarro’s info helped him learn to hide his tells, then he goes on High Stakes Poker and acts like an idiot.
