A "tell"



A tell in life and in business is a change in a persons behavior or demeanor that is claimed by some to give clues to that persons position or assessment of their position. A person gains an advantage if they observe and understand the meaning of another persons tell, particularly if the tell is unconscious and reliable. Sometimes an advanced person may fake a tell, hoping to induce their opponents to make poor judgments in response to the false tell. When this happens it's a beautiful thing....

More often than not people try to avoid giving out a tell, by maintaining a "poker face" but an idiot is an idiot, regardless of how strong or weak their position is.

I paid my rent for the better part of a year while in grad school with my poker winning playing Texas Holdem.

People are just to easy to read...
