Identify A Liar At The Poker Tables Part 2

By Harlan Jacob

Surely you can use a lot of tricks in order to identify a liar at the poker table but there is one that is so good at this problem. In a conversation, change the subject you're discussing fast enough that no one will notice it. Liars will soon realized that the subject has changed and will sigh with content because that's what they want. Whereas honest individuals will be confused and will ask you why did you change the subject and will want to go back in the former topic.

Spotting a liar in poker can be done by doing conversations. Almost all better poker players talk a lot during a game. They observe your reaction when you are stressed and relax. They will also identify your natural reactions and compare it with your game reactions if you are bluffing or not.

One great instance would be a technique made by Amarillo Slim Preston. This involves Slim and one dangerously good female player. Slim hate women who play poker and that's how he came head to head with this lady. The pro took the competition seriously to avoid being embarrassed in front of a gender he disdained the most.

During the match, Slim eavesdropped on a conversation going on about how the lady player adore her drink. He saw genuine emotion there and glad that he had that info. Later on the game he will use that info in order to pick a tell from the lady by asking her how much he like her hand. He's good!

However, as the game progresses the lady took the hint and started to ignore Slim on the game by wearing headphones. Slim and her enjoyed wiping the floor clean till the game ends.

Another trick using natural reaction against a poker player is this:

Andy plays poker regularly. One time you decided to play with him. While on the game, you see that his checking out the baseball game on TV. It is quiet obvious that Andy wants one team to win the game. Then you ask him if he had money at stake on the game. He answered you a definite yes and you realized that he has a very satisfied smile on his face while saying this and he also told you about the other games he bet into and won.

You try to use what to know when you're having a big bet game with Dan. To check out if his bluffing, you can tell him that you have a very big hand. When you see the same satisfied look he gave you during his winning in poker, then that would be an obvious tell that he has a very good set of cards.

Natural reactions can be the basis of some good poker players to get a great tell that can be used against you. To use this on your own, you better be an observant poker player. Always make sure that you see that natural reactions of your opponents firsthand.
