Reading Poker Tells

By: Zachary Elwood

Narrated by: Zachary Elwood

The first book in Zachary Elwood's acclaimed poker tells trilogy, Reading Poker Tells will teach you how a professional poker player analyzes the facial expressions, body posture, physical gestures, and verbal statements of their opponents. Besides cataloging the meaning of the most common poker tells, this book gives a mental framework for thinking about and remembering tells. It also contains information on general poker psychology, methods of manipulating opponents, and methods for becoming unreadable.

Since its release in 2012, this book has been widely recognized by many poker players, both amateur and experienced, as being one of the best works on the subject. Zachary Elwood's poker tells site is at readingpokertells.com.

This is not your average tells! great Read!

Makes you realize that there's more to just playing strategic poker. Just by paying attention to your opponents and seeing the subtle tells can improve your game!

Finally! It all started to make sense!!

If you could sum up Reading Poker Tells in three words, what would they be?

READ THIS BOOK!! or MY LIGHTBULB EXPLODED!

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

I finally began to understand all the things I was seeing at the poker table, but didn't know what they meant. I had been looking at and for the wrong things and not paying attention to the things that matter.

Any additional comments?

If poker tells is where your game is weak. Then this is the second book you need to read right after Mike Caro's book of tells. The author references the book several times and it will help to understand those references. Then... READ THIS BOOK!! All those little nuances that I saw happening at the table now speak volumes to me. I will buy his next book he is currently working on involving Verbal Tells.

Solid book, definitely recommend

Honest take, examples on how to implement strategies provided. Solid and listen. Very nice job

One of 2 books that have changed my game

if you are a player with strong fundamentals and have learned all the nuances about the game this book and Jared Tindler's the mental game of poker; will allow you to take that knowledge and start making money in the ever increasing challenging player pool.
