very great player knows that success in poker is part luck, part math, and part subterfuge. While the math of poker has been refined over the past 20 years, the ability to read other players and keep your own "tells" in check has mostly been learned by trial and error. But now, Joe Navarro, a former FBI counterintelligence officer specializing in nonverbal communication and behavior analysis—or, to put it simply, a man who can tell when someone's lying—offers foolproof techniques, illustrated with amazing examples from poker pro Phil Hellmuth, that will help you decode and interpret your opponents' body language and other silent tip-offs while concealing your own. You'll become a human lie detector, ready to call every bluff—and the most feared player in the room.

Summary: Great book for experienced players
Comment: If you are already a winning poker player then this book is great to add to your poker library. There is no actual "poker" how to's but the information on tells is excellent. When I play live poker I have always tried to look for other peoples tells but was not really sure what was a tell. This book does a great job of letting you know what tells to look for and tells you how to decide if it is a tell or if it is just something that player does all the time. I am not a Phil Hellmuth fan at all but still think you should read this book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't tell anyone
Comment: I'm rating this a four. Its really a six. Don't want to tell anyone I've read this. My buddy at my regular game and I have an agreement not to tell anyone else at the game about this book. It must be studied to become an intregal part of your game if your serious about poker.

Summary: Good Second Book on Tells
Comment: This might be seen as competition for Mike Caro's excellent _Mike Caro's Book of Tells_ but it is better viewed as a complimentary work, covering different parts of the same theme.
Before we discuss the differences between the two, we have to mention the view that tells are not very important. That view, promoted by people as prominant as Daniel Negreanu, is simply wrong. While tells may not help you very often, a tell can win a very important hand for you or keep you from losing a very large number of chips. As long as tells exist, as Mr. Negreanu will freely admit, they don't have to be seventy percent of the game (a bizarre claim made by the authors of this book)to be important.
This book, in contrast to the Caro book, analyzes very basic neurological reactions, honest tells. In contrast to the "weak means strong" theme of the major tells in the book of tells, this book teaches you to see often subtle but almost always honest indicators of a player's confidence at a particular moment in time. The most important part of this book is the section on not _giving_ information.
The flaws in this book include the above claim that poker is seventy percent driven by reading tells. Most others involve Mr. Hellmuth and his ego and the amount of extraneous bragging that is done by both authors.
