Hey, we're just getting started here! I have to be honest, I'm a bit of a tell rookie. I'm able to spot the obvious ones--shaking hands, disgusted looks, "speeches", over-bets--but frankly, spend most of my time seeing who's playing what from what position and watching betting patterns. PianoMan, a good cash game player who posts here now and then, is quite good at identifying tells, but he's also willing to sit for 5 minutes looking at his opponent for clues. I usually just make my assessment based on the overall package (hand range, betting, tells and how much of a donk or shark I've observed villain to be) and make my action decision.

I've read Caro's book and Navarro's book and believe there's good info in both. I should probably spend a bit more time putting the concepts into practice. Thanks for the inspiration!
