1. Rarely do I get info when someone has a good hand PF (unless it's a betting tell). Most of my experience comes from betting tells.

2. Clenched jaw.

3. I watch the strong player (human nature, I guess).

4. I have not read any tell books, but I hear Mike Caro's is good.

5. While betting is going on, I try to see who is looking at other players' stacks.

6. The SPEECH, obv.

7. My favorite was the final hand of a pretty big live tournament I won. Heads up, my opponent moved all-in on the turn. I figured this for a draw or bluff, called with mid-pair and won the tournament.
