This is where it begins — the definitive guide to live poker behavior.
Learn how to spot subtle shifts in posture, timing, and eye contact that reveal hesitation, strength, or pure bluff. But we go deeper than just “weak means strong” — this article explores the psychology behind it all.

This article breaks down the “Looking At You” tell — when it shows up, what it really signals, and why strong players rarely do it with a monster. A precise psychological breakdown with real-world table impact.
