Well, there's several different things.

There's the ones that are conscious and then there's the ones that are subconscious, right?

Like on the conscious level, it might be something someone says, right?

You know, you ask them a question and they say, oh, you know, you shouldn't call me here.

You should.

So there's the verbal tells.

There's also the more, you know, subconscious stuff, body posture.

Right.

The eyes, the throat, the pulse, various things that are, you know, less controllable.

I find I use a combination of both to try to gain information.

But generally, when I have somebody more comfortable, they give off more like everyone has a different approach.

Phil Ivey likes to intimidate.

I go the other way.

I want my opponents to be relaxed so that they'll give me more in that regard.

So Phil Ivey likes to perturb the system, like mess with it to see what comes out.

I think Phil has an aura about him where he wants you to know that he's watching you be afraid, be uncomfortable because when you're uncomfortable, I got you.

Right.

And that's sort of his shtick where he, you know, and people do like when you sit at a table with the live, it's, it's intimidating.

That's a really good way to put it.

I never put it like that, but it makes a lot of sense.
