Absolutely loved this book. I've been reading it extremely slowly over a year, so I can apply the information. Now that I'm done I feel like I have to read it a few more times.

There's so much good information to unpack here. If you commit to the process it will help you so much at the tables.

I considered myself a rank amateur with poker tells before this book. I grew up as a professional poker player online. I still find I have much to learn about the live game. That said, with Exploiting Poker Tells, I was able to establish more reads in live tournaments and push myself ahead of the pack. I'm feeling far more confident than I used to feel on the live felt. I can't wait to read it again!

Excellent book, to to for learning and reading physical tells, best combined with real life practice! 😁

Some very good information on tells. I find Elwood's information far more applicable and reliable than any other book on tells that I've read. I only give three stars because it's pretty tough to read. It is pretty repetitive and boring at times. Definitely not a page-turner.

About two years ago, Casino City was given a lifetime membership to Zachary Elwood's excellent Reading Poker Tells video series in exchange for an honest review, which I provided here. (The series has grown since then — there were only 19 videos at the time; now there are 29 — and let me tell you, having a lifetime membership is great.) Last year, Elwood came out with another book, his third on the subject of tells, Exploiting Poker Tells.
