A Career FBI Agent's Guide to Decoding Poker Tells
Joe Navarro is a former counterintelligence officer specializing in nonverbal communications and behavioral analysis with nine-time World Series of Poker Champion. Phil Hellmuth presents the next evolution in poker strategy - becoming a human lie detector at the tables. Success in poker is part luck, part maths, and part subterfuge. While the maths of poker has been refined over the past twenty years, the ability to read other players and keep your own "tells" in check has until now been mostly learned by instinct and practice. However by using Navarro's techniques illustrated with Hellmuth's examples, you will be able to decode and interpret other players nonverbal communication while concealing your own. You will essentially become a human lie detector and a feared player.

This book is a detailed analysis of body language and the psychology of poker as presented by Joe Navarro (a former FBI agent), however the "Phil Hellmuth presents" is a bit rich. I mean Phil did contribute to the book, however its written by Joe, so be aware that Phil wont be giving you too much insight.
The book overall is very good and readable. Great for live poker (not good for online obviously!)
Comparable to Caro's book of tells, however i would proabaly prefer Caro's for content, but I did find this to be an easier read (with many similar concepts, but some new ones too)
Overall, except for the slightly misleading title, its a great book.
Due to the title and the fact its only really useful for Live play, its a solid 4 stars.
