Table talk. Betting with your small chips. Shaking hands. The list of common poker tells that experts claim are accurate, goes on and on.
Just how useful and accurate are these tells when you’re playing at a highly competitive level?
While it is true that these types of tells occur, their meanings may vary based on various contexts. For example, while shaking hands may indicate a very strong hand, it can also occur when a person is nervous and is attempting to bluff at the pot.
The reality is that there are no universal poker tells that apply consistently for everybody, except for unconscious, nonverbal cues called microexpressions.
What are microexpressions?
Microexpressions are facial expressions that last on the face for last less than ½ second: they occur when people are consciously or unconsciously trying to conceal or repress what they are feeling.
Most people report that they don’t see microexpressions, however research has shown that people can be taught to spot these relatively easily: with training, in about an hour.
Humintell’s training can help you:
* Spot real life, scientifically proven tells called microexpression
* Interpret nonverbal signals such as body posture, tone of voice, gestures and facial expressions
Did you know?
Facial expressions of emotion are universal- regardless of age, gender or ethnicity. Because they are universal, reading facial expressions of emotion does not require baselining other players at your table. Microexpressions can’t be faked or hidden and can occur on the face as fast as 1/16 of a second
