The most bankable strategies in poker include not only playing the right cards but knowing how to read your opponents. Often even the most experienced players have what are called 'tells'. Poker tells are certain actions or body movements a player might make that would allow the other player to read into his cards. This can be very useful for calling out bluffs.
In a recent article by Ashley Adams for pokernews.com he highlights some of the greatest poker strategies (for STUD poker) that emphasize on reading other players tells. One of the tells he explains happens when a player receives his/her river card (the final card of the hand). Right after the player peeks at their final card, know pay attention cause this happens very quickly, they immediately look down at their chip stack. This lets you know that their hand requires a bet because their action is reflexive to their final card.
This is perhaps one of the most profitable tells in Stud Poker, so play close attention next time you find yourself at the tables.
