First of all I would like to send my prayers to all the people experiencing loss and hardship due to the floods in the various states. It is a very sad time for a lot of people and I hope the poker world will spark up some fundraiser tournaments to help the survivors of the floods.
On a lighter note, I haven’t been playing much poker the last few weeks. People ask me what is an obvious “tell” on the felt. There are quite a few, well, millions, but one I find common is what I call “Happy Feet “. You will find this in heaps of pub poker venues, especially if the player is quite new to the game. “Happy Feet” is when a player bounces their knees up and down, and is generally jiggling on their toes. This will often mean that they are excited about their hand and/or they have hit really big. They think they are the favourite. This does not always apply to a venue that has music playing, or coming towards a break, as your opponent might be really busting to go to the toilet from drinking a lot of beer. Most of the time you won’t be able to see their feet, so keep an eye on their top half. If you see movement, it’s most likely their feet. This is just a guide. How you use this information is completely up to you. Be aware of your opponents; try to keep in mind betting patterns and the way they hold themselves at the table. You might be able to pick up a really important “tell” that might win you the game.
I wish all players that are playing in the Aussie Millions the best of luck.
Hope to see you on the tables soon!!!
