Betting motion behaviors in limit
I talk about a couple players I played with in a $15-30 limit hold’em game who showed some reliable betting-motion tells.

Loose hand movements associated with high hand strength
Some more thoughts on Martin Staszko and a specific hand where he played with his chips as he was waiting to raise Pius Heinz with a very strong hand. I talk about how these kinds of loose hand movements, if they’re unusual for a player, will generally be a sign of high hand strength.

Watching the players directly to your left
Some thoughts on watching the players directly to your left. Not only can you get some last-minute tells from them regarding their actions, they are the players who pose the biggest threats to you.

Threatening-to-turn-cards-over tell
Thoughts on the threatening-to-turn-your-hand-over tell, where a player who is bluffing, when facing a potential call, acts like he’s ready to turn his cards over to show a winner. While this tell can sometimes be very obvious, it can also show up in very subtle ways.
