A tricky player with a rather unique betting motion tell
A crazy, weird limit player and a tell I noticed he had. On the river, he’d make slower, more roundabout bets when he was weak, because he was trying to get a sense if his opponent was calling or not so he could potentially abandon his bet if he saw they were calling. If he had a strong hand, he’d just push the bet in more straightforwardly and quickly.

Betting movement tells – betting forcefully vs. betting gently
Some thoughts on betting motion tells: how quickly or gently a player puts his chips into the pot when he’s strong or when he’s weak. It’s not as simple as “weak means strong”.

Creating a loose, careless image in no-limit
You should present a carefree, aggressive, loose image in no-limit. While many people know this intellectually, I don’t think many people fully apply this to their own game and image. I see too many otherwise-decent players showing tough folds, talking about their strategy, and doing other things that make them easier to play against.
