Tell

A behaviour that betrays the strength of an opponent's hand — a tremble, a glance, a change in breathing, a sudden silence. Pros build a baseline, watch for breaks, then ask: does the bet match the break?

Example

A chatty player goes silent and still when he bets big — that's a break from baseline.
