Everyone, even the best poker players in the world will have a tell. Some players are
just much better at🎉 disguising them. This doesn’t exactly mean seeing if a player
itches his nose every time he has a good hand.🎉 It’s more about finding a pattern in a
player’s betting and folding habits. After all, any strategy to win Texas🎉 Hold’em
involves playing all the cards, not just your own.

Slow-play especially on your
monster hands. If you flop a monster/"the🎉 nuts" (the best possible flop with your hold
cards) or at least trips, just check and call any bets to🎉 induce a bluff since you seem
weak, or on the bad side, you may let your opponents catch a card🎉 on the turn or river.
Slow-playing works best with loose aggressive players that you hope will try to bluff
when🎉 no one has bet/as if they have nothing. If you flop a full house and bet out,
everyone folds and🎉 you only win a small pot. So just check and let others lead out, as
you try to catch a🎉 card on 4th or 5th street. Be careful, though, that you don't
slow-play and get many opponents checking to see🎉 draws. For example, if you hold T(♥) -
T(♠), and the flop comes T(♣) - 9(♦) - 3(♣) for "trips🎉 T's", and you now have three or
more opponents in the pot. Do not slow play your set/trips, especially if🎉 you raised
pre-flop and are known to make continuation bets. Bet "a third of the pot" to make the
flush🎉 draws and straight draws fold or pay to see the next card.
