See what Joe Navarro is talking about

Many of you wrote us to say how much you enjoyed our show with ex-FBI interrogator Joe Navarro ... and also how much you wish it had been a video podcast so you could see his tips in action.

Well, the Associated Press recently did just that, so click here to see Joe work his magic.

Thanks so much for this video! Very cool.

Chris, for living in Florida and always wearing shorts.. you're the whitest guy I've seen! (especially sitting beside Joe)

it's from all those years in Connecticut.............

Excellent tips. I think from just the 3 or 4 he talks about here you could get a good initial read on players. Definitely going to be looking for the steepling in my next home game.

Just bought/read his book last week. Great read. Nice to see some video demo here. Would love to see more.

I'm still amazed that he says poker is 70% about reading the players, 30% reading the cards.

I think I've been stuck for a long time at 10% reading players and 90% reading the cards. I'm making it my #1 goal to get better at reading the player.

It very much depends on the game. Holdem is reading players, or as I´d like to say it´s a stare down game with cards in the middle as a tie-breaker. Omaha is a bit different, the cards get much more important.
There is also the skill level: the more skills, the less important the cards. If you play against low-skilled players, play the cards. This is why Stu Ungar used to say that he´d stand no chance at low limit tables: he needed to play his opponents, much less his cards.

Man, he could make a small fortune off of a full length video.

True Floridians know not to go out in the sun.

I just finished the book. It's helped me read people more clearly and my overall game a lot already.
Great video clip.
thanks for posting.

"True Floridians know not to go out in the sun."

Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out..... :D

If Mr. Navarro ever made a video based on his book alone... I would be the first in line to get it and watch it over and over. My game has improved greatly based on watching people alone. There are many times I was able to rake in chips based on what the other person did to show me that their hands was garbage...regardless of what I had in my pocket.
