Brandon Sheils is a professional poker player who recently did a scientific study of poker tells as part of getting a Masters degree in Psychology. Topics discussed: the challenges of studying poker behavior; how he structured his study; what the results were; AI and machine learning potential for studying behavior; some times he's used behavior to make a poker decision.

Thank you for supporting the show!  Blake Eastman didn't believe that poker tells had much (if any) value.  Even as an adjunct psychology professor and founder of the behavioral research company The Nonverbal Group, he fell into the camp that believed old-school pros overvalued physical tells, and that betting patterns and game theory were all that really mattered.  However, being the researcher at heart he decided to put this theory to the test. To do this, he funded his own research study, where 79 players were filmed over the course of many hours of play.  After painstakingly analyzing the data over hundreds of hours, Blake found nothing. He watched film from players who were weak and found nothing. He watched film from players who were strong and found nothing. Just as he was about to give up, he decided to look at the data in a different light, and finally found the breakthrough he was looking for.  Blake had finally cracked the live poker tells code, and he's gone on to consult with players in the biggest games in the world and helped significantly increase their edge in those games. He's also packaged everything he learned from that study, and everything he's learned since then, into his Beyond Tells course.  In this episode, Blake joins the show to discuss his journey from “Tells Skeptic” to “Tells Consultant”, and explains why Beyond Tells is so much different from every other book or course on poker tells in the market.

He’s long been interested in the psychological aspects of poker (while knowing that poker tells are much less important than poker strategy.) In 2009 he started the ReadingPokerTells blog, on the subject of tells and psychology. The site has gained a decent following over the years. In 2012, he published Reading Poker Tells, a book on general poker behavioral patterns. That book has been called the “best book on poker tells” by many players, both amateur and experienced.  In 2014, he published the book Verbal Poker Tells, which has also received high praise. Tommy Angelo, the pro poker player and author, called it “a treasure of profitable content.”  Elwood writes articles for many poker publications. He writes a monthly column for Bluff Magazine, and has written articles for PokerNews, the TwoPlusTwo Magazine, and The Freeroll.

In life, like in poker, we’re not as good as making decisions as we think we are – especially when we have incomplete information.On this episode of The Bid, Maria Konnikova, psychologist, New York Times bestselling author and world champion poker player discusses how to navigate uncertainty, overcome our biases and make the best decision possible with the information we’re given.This material is for informational purposes and is prepared by BlackRock, is not intended to be relied upon as a forecast, research or investment advice, and is not a recommendation, offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities or to adopt any investment strategy.
