Here's a transcript of the video . . .
Often you can tell just from the way a man bets, whether he has a strong hand or a weak hand. It’s all in the motion.
Let’s watch this man bet, there. Now let’s watch another similar bet.
Okay, there.
What do you know from this?
Well, the answer is really easy. This is a bluff. And I’ll tell you why.
You have to tune yourself in to see that little extra emphasis on the bet there. That stiff arm, that finger pointing, that extra flick, that tiny bit of little emphasis that you should look for, is what tells you that the hand is weak, and the player thinks he needs to exaggerate its importance.
