Guys, was thinking about arms positions in a poker table and if this can be related to tells. Does exist any search, or thread here, or page that tells a lit bit of this ?

Example : Hands in the mouth is normally a lie.

Exist something for arms and their positioning ?

Changes from standard arm positioning would be the first thing to start with. What is "normal" for this specific villain?

Yep .. a tell needs 'back up' from previous hands. If a guy 'always' acts in a 'classic' tell manner then it's not a tell at all, it's 'normal' and has no 'tell' worth.

I would assume that a player making a bet and then sitting back with crossed arms is ready to do battle. It doesn't mean he's made, just that he's not going anywhere.

One thing I have picked up from "Live at the Bike" is that when someone bets and then scratches their ear/nose/chin area then they probably aren't very strong in comparison to the board. Although this involves arm movement it's not really arm 'placement' which is what I think you are more interested in here. GL

'long term waiting mode'. villain is leaned back, arms folded in front of him. he won't be betting until he has a hand.
