Synopsis

Verbal Poker Tells is the follow-up to Zachary Elwood's acclaimed book Reading Poker Tells. When poker players talk, they sometimes reveal information about their hands. Verbal Poker Tells describes the most common and reliable verbal patterns poker players have. More importantly, it gives you a framework for thinking about and analyzing verbal behavior at the poker table. 
The author analyzes many real poker hands: some from televised poker shows such as the World Series of Poker, Poker After Dark, and High Stakes Poker, some players by the author, and some submitted by other players.
The author's blog and ebooks are at ReadingPokerTells.com.

      - Aaron Brown, author of The Poker Face of Wall Street

About this title

Review

"At first I thought, well how many verbal tells can there be? Weak means strong; strong means weak; yada yada yada. What I discovered was there is a whole world of information in not just the things people say (which can be extremely unreliable in a game where deception is seen as virtue) but in how and when they say these things; if they are prompted or unprompted; as well as anything they don't say or add in for no reason. . . Elwood did a lot of research for this book, and my hats off to him for compiling this type of database."
     - Steve Ruddock, for NJ.com website

"Zach Elwood received high praise for Reading Poker Tells, and his latest effort promises more of the same.  Whether this book (or both) will eventually be viewed as a seminal poker strategy book remains to be determined, but -- particularly as it relates to casual, recreational play -- it's a big moneymaker for those willing to invest the time and digest the concepts explored within its pages."     - Haley Hintze, for Flushdraw.net
