Pokah Face Review
Introduction
Pokah Face is an ebook that teaches you how to spot live poker tells, ie the strength of your opponent’s hand by their body language.
This is what the author (who has chosen to remain anonymous) has to say about his book:
You can play crappy cards, you can be loose, pretend you’re drunk – but by correctly applying the contents of this book, you will always know what your opponent has and will beat him every single time.
The author explains in detail how he has always had a fascination with human psychology and studied it for years at university and in his spare time. The result of his years of studies are in this e-book.
Quite a bold statement, so let’s say if the facts back it up…
Review
My first impressions are that it’s comprehensive in nature and there are useful illustrations to back up the writing.
The body of text consists of identifying very specific of tells, including:
Hand tells:
The palms
The hand rub
The steeple
The gripping
Thumbs
Hands touching the face tells:
The mouth guard
Nose rub
Eye rub
Ears and neck
Finger sucker
Cheeks and palms – boredom
Evaluation and interest:
Chin stroke
Arms:
Different types of arm crosses
Putting It All Together
The author goes into considerable detail of applying his techniques to real life, including entertaining examples of when he has used his techniques and most importantly, why.
Clothing
Lastly, the author speaks about what clothing (and jewelry) to wear to stop giving away tells.
Conclusion
What I would have liked to have seen and was actually slightly disappointed that it was not there is information on online tells. Maybe the author is coming up with a sequel, who knows…
However, if you frequently play live games (or play online but would like to make the transition) then I highly recommend this ebook as it’s a good enough investment to be worth at least ten times its value in potential future earnings, if utilised properly. The price is reasonable at $47 (£30).
