How to Read a Poker Face

 

Has there ever been someone in your life who you could just read like a book? By just seeing their body language, you INSTANTLY knew what kind of mood they were in? It may have been someone in your immediate family, or a girlfriend, or a spouse, or whoever.

- You could READ the look on their face.

- You could HEAR and IDENTIFY the tone in their voice.

- You could SENSE their mood right away.

Know what I’m talking about? If so, give me a silent nod.

What if I told you that you could bring this ability to “read” a person to the poker table? What if you could instantly KNOW what your opponents were thinking? Or the cards they were holding? Would you be able to win more hands, tournaments, and CASH with that kind of ability?

9 times out of 10, your opponent‚Äôs body language will literally GIVE AWAY their hands. All you have to do is know HOW to understand this “hidden communication.”

For starters, it’s important that you study every single move another player makes. This is obvious, because without carefully studying their movements (instead of getting “too caught up” in your own hand) you’ll NEVER be good at reading their body language. Make sense?

Usually, you can trust your gut instinct. The problem most players have is knowing what their GUT is REALLY SAYING. Mediocre and good players will be aware of their “poker face” (or “poker tells”) and will seek to give you an OPPOSITE impression of what’s really true. Reading this type of player is simple.

Anytime you see a player acting a little TOO dramatic, you’ve got him. Here’s an example:

Let’s say you’re dealt pocket aces and you make a pre-flop raise of $20 to get rid of the “limpers” (so that you don’t get run down by something silly like a 2/7 off-suit). “Drew” is sitting to the right of you, and he’s the only player to call your bet. The flop hits King, 7, 3 - all different suits.

Now, you’re HOPING Drew hit his king so that you can wipe him out for all his chips. The action is on you first, and you toss a bet out for $30.

Now here’s the key: You should be STUDYING Drew’s body language this entire time!
