Re: new tells book: "Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood

After seeing it mentioned somewhere, I looked it up on amazon and had only excellent reviews. I will be getting this in the future for sure. Has anyone not found it super useful?

Re: new tells book: "Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood

Picked up my first tell that I was really 100% on at Borgata this weekend after reading this book.

Villain sitting directly across from me would play with his cards where he would constantly swap them by having one card under his middle finger and the other under his thumb and would swap them back and forth when he didn't have a hand.

It's noted in the book as weakness and it was dead on with this guy. The best part is he was aggressive so I would call him down every street with anything and repop him on the river when he was playing with the cards like this and he folded every time.

When he had a hand he wouldn't even have his hands on the table, instead having his hand holding his face up when he had a nice hand. Once I called him down and it went runner runner diamonds on turn and river putting 4 to a flush out and he stopped playing with his cards as the river hit and went back to holding his face so I knew he had the ace of diamonds.

Book was extremely helpful and I recommend it to anyone. Book paid for itself after one hand with this guy.

Wow I thought Navarros was easily the best poker book period I've ever read so I'll have to consider reading this one.

Re: new tells book: "Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood

very good book & it is an easy read. it makes keeping track of tells in live games easier & the categorization along w/correlation makes tons of sense. the reviews @cardrunner, Amazon & other places are outstanding. i would rate this book 9.1 on a scale of 1-10 & it wouldn't take much to get a 9.9 rating

Re: new tells book: "Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood

Hi all... I posted one of the early reviews at Amazon.

To keep it short.... the best thing about this book is that it is structured in a way that makes it very easy to understand the reasons behind all of the tells. this allows you to easily remember the tells later plus even potentially formulate your own new tells.

I love Caro but he just didn't do as good of a job in this area. This book is a 21st century update of Caro's fabulous book.

I can share all of this since I only have time to play online so I don't care as much if all you live chubs get better

Re: new tells book: "Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood

Thanks for the kind words. I just wanted to say:

I'm currently trying to figure out the best solution for the ebook. I apologize to those who want it solely in ebook form. I will have a solution by next week.

Zach

Re: new tells book: "Reading Poker Tells" by Zachary Elwood

I just got mine last week and have started it. It is very good so far. I love the way Zach categorizes the tells and explains how they differ based on situations. He has written it in a way that makes it much easier to remember. Can't wait to get to Vegas and put some of this into practice!

Thanks Zach.

Spoke with Zach over the last few days and we will be carrying the paperback as soon as a new print run is out the door. Expect it on hand by the end of the month. If you order prior to its arrival, you can get a 10% discount with the coupon code RPT22.

We also hope to have it in e-book form when possible.

Is it not currently in paperback? Also is the new print any different? Lastly if it's an ebook does that mean I can read on my Android phone?! That would be rather sweet
