Does this mean that I'm not allowed to look for this tell? If he happens to be careless with his cards, do I have a duty to look away? I THINK NOT!Īs far as wondering whether or not people are tracking cards, the answer is yes. One very important tell in poker is when your opponents hands begin to tremble.
If a player is careless enough to expose his cards, it is NOT cheating to use the information as long as you don't lean over to spook his hand, or do something in order to cause it. There is a universal poker rule in casinos, and it's almost always posted somewhere in the room: 'Players are responsible for protecting their hand at all times'.
