If you have ever faced a poker table full of formidable opponents, you might have a fair idea of how intimidating such an experience might be. Any poker player has had these moments bordering on sheer terror at some point in their poker playing career, and no one is immune to the nerve wracking scenario that unfolds before them. Of course more experienced players have managed to develop ways to combat these feelings, which so often lead to giving away your secrets to the other players around the table. These secrets give themselves away in various signs and mannerisms called “tells” that players so often reveal unconsciously. In order to effectively hide your “tells” it is important to understand what they are and how they surface at the poker table.
