Phil Hellmuth Presents Read 'Em and Reap. A Career FBI Agent's Guide to Decoding Poker Tells

Success in poker is part luck, part math, and part subterfuge. While the math of poker has been refined over the past decades, the ability to read other players and keep one's "tells" in check has been mostly learned through trial and error and can take a lifetime to master. But now, by using ex-FBI special agent Joe Navarro's insights into body language, illustrated with World Series of Poker champion Phil Hellmuth's in-game examples, players will be able to decode and interpret other players' nonverbal communication while concealing their own-becoming human lie detectors and the most feared players at the table.
Reading People: Learn the same nonverbal observation techniques a 25-year FBI special agent used to track criminals and international terrorists. Body Language Breakdown: Go beyond the "poker face" to find the truth in a player's feet, hands, and posture-with real-world examples from Phil Hellmuth's championship games. Concealing Your Tells: Master a robotic, repetitive table image that hides your intentions, bores your opponents, and makes you impossible to read.
Spotting the Bluff: Identify the high- and low-confidence tells, pacifying behaviors, and "freeze" responses that reveal when an opponent is bluffing, and when they have the nuts.
