Trembling hands tops poker tells list

2009-03-17 12:20:18

Shaky hands been listed as the number one poker tell in a new top ten from the Casino City Times.

Vin Narayanan explained that adrenaline can often lead to trembles when an "undisciplined" player picks up a good hand and stated that because it is such a "dead giveaway" and is difficult to do anything about, it had to be first on the list.

Other notable tells making the top ten include looking at an opponent's chips early in the hand, taking a long time to call a bet, breathing heavily and appearing to be uninterested in the hand.

"If a players looks like he could care less as to whether or not he's in this hand, be very, very wary. He probably has a strong hand, but doesn't want to show it," Mr Narayanan said.

Play Winning Poker offers a similar tell list in which trembling hands ranks fifth behind eye movement, facial expression, aggressiveness and anxiety.
