If you honestly think that the second nuts is no good, then there is no tell. You will look honestly weak.
Even amongst the most self deluded, though, there is a moment of hesitation, of slight deliberation, where you make up your mind to interpret your situation one way or the other. This micropause is the tell.
When I am in a situation where I am inclined to bluff, I will tell myself before I even get cards that I have a big pair, and to act accordingly. I don't want to have that moment where it is clear that I am contemplating something.
