Learn to recognize poker tells, article says

It is important that poker players learn to recognize certain 'tells' in the people they are playing, it has been argued.

An article on Point-Spreads says that taking note of how people usually play can help to give players an advantage - and they can even use the same technique in online games.

"Poker players may make certain faces when they have a specific hand, or exhibit certain habits when a particular type of card is drawn," it said.

"Either way, you should always be on the look out for anything that is genuinely a tell and could help you to know your opponent better."

The article also mentioned that if a player keeps an eye on how other people are playing, it might make them better able to recognize what they are giving away themselves - and help them to combat it.

One form of tell, for example, could be a player betting in a repetitive fashion.
