Not every poker pro wears merch with their name on it or the name of a poker training site at the poker table, some of them like to hide that they are a professional 🫣.

While these tips might not be 100% accurate they can still help you get an idea of the more comfortable players at the poker table.

Paying attention to the way your opponent shuffles their poker chips, how fast they are able to put together good bet sizes, how smoothly they throw their cards away, and the speed of their preflop actions, will give you a picture of their experience level (potentially leading to exploits!)
Don’t take this too far though, some poker pros still take their time or act recreationally in a variety of ways.

Don’t adjust your poker strategy too far because you saw somebody fumbling their poker chips, they could be an online poker pro playing live for the first time or they can be a live pro who fumbled their chips once.

If you’re building huge chip stacks already but still looking for how to improve at Pot limit Omaha, no limit hold ‘em, or poker in general, Phil Galfond is here to teach you how to think like a professional poker player.

  1. Yep, I suck but as soon as someone sees me doing crazy chip tricks I get all the respect.

  2. They're usually going to be arrogant and elitist and crying about every action "you noobs" took that hurt the pro 😂😂
