Make Hesitate
Here's a transcript of the video . . .
Did you know you can gain valuable information just by reaching for your chips and the object is just to make your opponent hesitate?

Well, it’s because, when you can make an opponent look back at his cards just by reaching for your chips and then bet forcefully, that’s almost always a bluff.

Caro’s Law of Tells # 2: Players often buy chips in a manner directly indicative of their style of play. Flamboyant means flamboyant; guarded means guarded.
