It seems to be the time for big announcements in the poker world. Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke announced their departure from UB not too long ago. The site then added Prahlad Friedman to their team a week later, which caused quite the stir. PokerStars then revealed the identity of Isildur1 as young Swedish player Viktor Blom. Now, it's time for Full Tilt Poker to jump into the mix with the latest announcement.
Peter Jetten has been announced as the latest addition to Full Tilt's team of poker professionals. Our very own Sarah Grant caught up with the newly minted Red Pro just before play began on Day 1b of the 2011 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event for an exclusive interview about signing with Full Tilt.

Watch your own poker tells

Most of the time we focus on spotting other peoples poker tells and grinding them down, but don't forget that you most likely have a tell also. Always try and stay aware of what you are doing. If you are in a poker hand, try to do the same thing everytime. Sit down with some friends and see if you guys can spot each others tells and share them. Always stay on top of your game! GOOD LUCK!

Anyone spot any good poker tells over the holidays?

Let me know what kind of poker tells you found!

The Hat / Head Rub

I saw a guy at the table this weekend who's tell was taking his hat off and running his hand over his head. Everytime he would do this he was STRONG! I might have thought that it was a tell that he was weak, but a few players paid him off and everytime he had a made hand. So watch out for the hat / head rub!

Last night I played in a home tournament and noticed one of the golden poker rules being broken, PATIENCE! Poker is not a fast game, if you are looking for a quick score, then this game is most likely not for you. You play Texas Holdem to try and rake in 1 big pot an hour. When you feel like your cards are just not coming, step back and remember the PATIENCE RULE!

Holding Your Breath at The Poker Table

I know this is pretty common knowledge, but I think people forget about this easy poker tell. If you spot someone holding their breath at the poker table, most likely they are holding a weak hand. They are trying to keep everything in and not get distracted and forget to breath. Keep an eye on the poker players holding their breath, watch their cards, and you will definitely be able to spot this tell when they do it.

So I was at the table yesterday during the day and 2 of the people at my table had this tell. They have a stack of chips and rub their hands down it and then do the infamous slap against the table. This is a pretty obvious tell that they are weak. This tell usually happens after a flop bet has been established, so if your opponent is doing this I would precive as weak!
