This video from Zach Elwood, author of two books on poker tells: Reading Poker Tells and Verbal Poker Tells examines immediate bets, which can be an important bet-timing tell. Immediate bets will usually indicate a polarized hand range and, in this video, it’s discussed why immediate bets will tend to be on the weaker side. While not a super-useful poker tell without first studying a player’s usual tendencies, immediate bets will sometimes lead you to the best course of action when you’re “on-the-fence.”
