Press Release Summary = Learning how to read \"poker tells\" dramatically improves a
players odds of winning at the table and reveals the bluff hand.

Press Release Body = Being able to read other poker player tells is essential to
being successful at winning hands at the poker table. This is the case whether the
table is virtual or real, in a tournament or in your friends' basement. If you are
going to win against the other players, you need to know how to read their tells.

One of the most valued skills among poker players is the ability to bluff, to have a
good \"poker face\". Bluffing is a term that is used when a player is trying to get
an opponent to believe what they are representing is true. Bluffing is common
practice that is used on both weak and strong hands.

The bluffing skill works well during online as well as off line play; however,
online play has its own opportunities for poker players. Many times, while playing
online, other players are more willing to share secrets of play with you. Use this
to your best advantage, ask questions of them, they will usually tell you why they
did or did not make a certain play during a hand. After all, they are, most likely
not going to be playing against you in person. If you explain that you are new to
the sport, most poker players will not mind teaching you.

Another skill that poker players must develop is being able to pick up on opponents
tells, while hiding their own. Most players are not going to be as obvious as to
jump up and down when they are dealt a great hand, but they may look up at the
ceiling or begin to tap their toes. Being able to pick up on these little gestures
will help you to play more effectively against them. However, just remember that
while you are watching your opponents, they are watching you also.

Some poker players engage in idol chitchat while playing a hand. This can be very
distracting if you are not one of the people who can do this and still concentrate.
The reason for this talking is easy to understand, it is an effective way to throw
off the concentration of a table. If you are to be a successful poker player, you
will need to learn either to block this out, or to use it to your advantage.
