Yes it's prolly overrated a bit, but you just need to know that you can easy apply this to a non-regular fishies and some players who you know play mostly online like you yourself. Also from what I've played live (and I put lot of hours) the best thing u can do is to define how your current opponent usually playing certain hands. What does he do with draws, strong and mediocre hands. Note that default offline casino players are tend to keep the same line depend of what they hold no matter what u'r table image is, like they always call with only top pair+minraise with strong draws+call with weak combodraws+always raise big with two pairs or better.

Yea, but those aren't 'Tells' those are just adapting to playing styles. Which is really what matters.

Honestly there is only a couple of times I got real good tells on my regular friends playing home games.

One was when I watched my friends eyes as the flop came down I saw his eyes instantly flick to the 8c and I knew he had A8.
