Poker Tells...

I played some more UB last night. I played for maybe an hour/hour and a half total. I ended up winning around $230. I played well last night. I called someone all-in with second pair and I laid down a few monsters because I wasn't sure if I had the best hand or not. I think that's how you're supposed to play good poker: follow your reads and wait for a better spot when you're not sure.

You know, a lot of people don't know this, but one of the biggest poker tells is hesitation. How long does it take for your opponent to bet? Usually, players who take a little while, then bet are not bluffing, whereas players who wait and then check, means that they have an awful hand.

I can't tell you how many times I've used this tell to win a pot.

Okay...enough about poker for now. The market is open.
