Well, I don't really see how a pro could tell if I was bluffing or not if I was the same way every time. I think the best way around giving off any tells is to first wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, and also to bet and then simply look down at the ground with your arms at your sides. Tell me how someone will get a tell from that?

Well they wouldn't. But what I'm saying is that without practice, you may be giving away tells you yourself are not even aware you're doing. Some people can pick up on even subtle nuances that cannot be hidden by sunglasses, etc.

We all have tells. While you may be quite good at masking them, my hunch is that there are some people who would be able to read you quite well. Of course, I could be wrong about you in particular, having never played with you. I'm merely speaking of the general internet-only player.

Breathing patterns, shaking/twitching, how you placed the chips in the pot, to name a few.

Twitching, I don't twitch .

All I am trying to point out is that if you can get past the nerves, then do all these things in the same manner. I play relatively emotionless when I play, regardless of what I hold or what stakes and who I am playing.

My buddies actually tried to claim they knew when I was bluffing once. How I don't know, because I made a promise to myself to in fact not bluff one the entire session. Anyway, guess I should let them think that, they consistently pay me about $40 a session, so it pays for my beer and pizza.

I've seen the people hands shake when they got a huge hand, it's kinda funny and really obvious.

True, but that can be a great false tell at the same time. I've used that to win many a heads-up pot against people underestimating "the college kid who's in over his head". Especially when an obvious draw hits....

funniest online player tell in wsop was at daniel negreanu's table, that nick khurzon guy smiled, looked around, then tried concealing his smile when he got pocket aces. if only danny had been payin attention to this idiot, he wouldnt have bet into this jerkoff with nothing
