The Poker "Tell" Expert

Who would you be better off asking to teach you about poker "tells", other than people whose career is looking for tells? Sure, a poker expert could be a good mentor with regards to poker tells, after all they have spent years at the poker table catching tells of their opponents. However, policemen, especially FBI agents, could make better mentors at this area. Why? Because they practically spend their whole careers spotting "tells", which criminals try to hide.

Hasn't it crossed your mind already that such an investigative agent would excel in this kind of thing? Imagine, they examine and interrogate the top criminals in the country, and try to determine if they're telling the truth or not. Put into mind that the type of criminals they handle are not of the weak kind. You may say that these criminals are the top brass of their lot, so reading their "tells" won't be so easy.

This is why Joe Navarro, who has been an fBI agent in the past, decided to venture into the world of poker. We all know that being able to spot tells and reading opponents' behavior are important components at the poker table. And this is exactly what Joe Navarro is good at.

He has spent numerous years detecting the lies of some of the most cunning criminals in the country. But now, he has decided to divert his talent to the challenging game of poker.

His first experience of using his skills in the poker world was when he participated in a certain experiment by the famous Discovery Channel. In that episode, he, poker legend Annie Duke, and several lie detector machines compete against each other in determining the most number of lies told by the selected people. In the end, Annie Duke and Joe Navarro beat the machines, and ended up with a tied score.

Obviously, Joe Navarro's expertise in this field is unquestionable. That is why he also has become a teacher at Camp Hellmuth, in which he gives lectures about spotting poker tells. Just how good is he? Well, it is said that even Phil Hellmuth himself sits in on his lectures and not only listens to him, but also takes down notes.

There is no doubt now that his book, entitled "Read 'em and Reap" will sell well in the market. It was released just a week ago, but for certain, millions of copies have already been bought.

You won't regret buying this man's book. With his credibility and experience, the book will surely be worth your every penny.
