What is a tell and why does it matter in poker
A tell is a clue a player gives through actions or expressions that reveals their current strength or weakness. Tell analysis is not a guarantee but it can tilt the odds in your favor. Good players mix action and deception so you should look for multiple signals rather than a single cue.
Step one what to observe at the table
Step two how to interpret common tells in practice
Step three how to verify a tell with a quick test
Step four how to use tells to improve decisions
Step five how to practice tells with disciplined routines
Comparing tells versus pure strategy what to know
- tells versus math tells add human data while math gives odds
- live reads rely on real time signals from opponents

When you combine tells with solid strategy you gain a practical advantage that is more robust across different opponents and game styles.
