Poker tells book translations
My first book, Reading Poker Tells, has been translated into five languages, and a sixth is coming. I thought I'd make a page with all the translations visible: www.readingpokertells.com/translations. A couple of these, French and Italian, are available for free. My second book, Verbal Poker Tells, would be a difficult translation, because it has so many verbatim transcriptions of ...

Reviews of poker tells training video series
There were a couple recent reviews written for my poker tells training series. I just wanted to post them here. The first comes from Alex Weldon, writing for PartTimePoker.com. He gives some positives and negatives for the videos. One of the things he says is: With Zach’s approach, after watching a few videos, you begin to feel confident that you’ll be able to guess what other actions mean... ...
Hosting a new 2+2 poker tells/behavior forum
Do you know the Two Plus Two poker forum? It's a great place to get poker news and discuss poker hands. I've been a member on there since my first days of playing poker in college in 2000. I still remember reading strategy posts from Greg Raymer years before he ever won the WSOP Main Event. (Yes, I'm old.) Mason Malmuth is the co-owner of 2+2, along with David Sklansky. They've written and ...

Working on a new poker tells book
I'm working full-time on another poker tells book. The book will be called Verbal Poker Tells and will focus specifically on all things verbal at the poker table: the things people say and how they say them. It will use a lot of examples from actual hands, both televised and hands played by me and others. I've been collecting a fairly large database of verbal patterns and will use this database to ...
I’m interviewed on High Roller Radio, a poker podcast
I was contacted by Derrick from the High Roller Radio Show, an "online gambling and poker magazine", asking me to do an interview. Click here for a link to the page with my interview. I think it went really well. Prior to the interview, I consumed half a milligram of Lorazepam and about a shot of Grand Marnier and that seemed to put me in a really good spot. Derrick asked some really good ...
