Players’ body language can tell you everything

You’ll often hear the expression, playing the player, as it relates to poker. I want to share with you what it actually means, as well as give you some tips on how to do it. The great Doyle Brunson once said, about a No Limit game he played in, “I could beat that game without even looking at my cards. “He wasn’t being cocky or disrespectful towards the other players. Doyle was just supremely confident in his ability to play the players. He could read them so well that the cards became irrelevant.

Poker lingo:

DOOR [CARD] - A player's first upcard in stud games.
ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
IMPLIED ODDS - A refinement to POT ODDS which includes money not yet in the pot. Considers the potential extra bets and winnings made when a player forms a very good hand.
DRAW - [1] A class of poker games characterized by players being dealt 5 cards face-down and later having the opportunity to replace some of the original 5. "Draw poker" and "Five-card draw" are examples of usage. [2] In stud and Hold'em games, the set of cards that will be dealt later can be collectively called "the draw". [3] To discard some number of cards and have dealt an equal number of replacements.
ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
