Watch For Folded Arms

POKER TIP from Mad Genius Mike Caro  

One tell that I find quite profitable is folded arms.

When an opponent slumps or leans back in his chair and folds his arms between hands, he’s in defensive and patient mode. Don’t expect this player to suddenly get inspired and play a weak hand for the excitement.

When this player leans forward and decides to play, it’s almost always a legitimate hand.

The folded-arms type of player is content to lean back and wait. Don’t expect to see weak-starting-hands.

You can chat and play with the “Mad Genius”, Mike Caro, every Wednesday night at 9:30pm ET in the Bounty Tournament at Doyles Room.com.

    If its possible then try to look the opponent directly in his eyes. If he look to the left there are big chances that he might bluff because he’s using his right side of the brain. It’s all body language :-)
