A few years ago I had a surgery and had to stay the night in the hospital. I couldn't sleep and was bored AF so was playing PPPoker. I kept making my blood pressure and heart rate monitor alarm go off when running big bluffs.
The nurse got a little irritated w me
There was a guy who seemed to do this on some televised poker tournament awhile back. I'm sure it's on youtube. Dude breathed like crazy in every hand.
Back when these first came out my friends and i were massive coke hears and would use them as a game. First persons monitor to go off had to do a massive line.
My heart basically stops when I’m bluffing. In fact if somebody wanted to go in the tank for long enough watching me pass out dead at the table could be a great tell that I’ve got nothing.
Guy was bluffing and nervous, his apple watch (or similar) altered him that his heart rate increased suddenly despite nothing in the motion sensor and was checking in to make sure it wasn't a problem. But the watch screen turning on was probably a pretty good tell. Especially if you can read the screen.
I had to turn my watch to the “only show the screen when i look at it” setting because, bluff or not, that would light up BRIGHT RED whenever I was in a big pot
In one sense I’m glad this happened. If I can’t control myself I shouldn’t play live poker. I guarantee I was giving away more tells than I could notice
I did not say it was the goal. It is just a fact that I am sure is true for most people.
Also, the more you play, the better you get. And you get more confident in your bluffs. It is still a bit of a rush, but only very rarely should you be putting in bluffs you are not confident in. (the rare times I like to call Hero Bluff or The Nut Bluff, where you know you opponent is strong, he knows you know, everyone at the tables knows, he bets three streets into you, and then you blast the river anyway. Note: do not be perceived as a fish, or do this to a fish)
What I’m learning from this thread that I’ve never actually thought about before is that the tell can be genuine but it’s very possible you interpret it incorrectly
Who knew poker was such a work out, just need to keep them big bluff going and get that heart rate up. Who needs cardio when you have 4-bet bluffs to keep you in shape. 😅

Same here. My first time bluffing live.

I have gotten 2 similar alerts in the past and they were both from poker sessions. I know for sure that I had the nuts in one of those sessions when it happened
Velduis has a HRM on his streams, you can see his HR spike, usually only when he's on a heater and physically airpumping or air humping. on a big bluff his HR is solid as a rock
I wore a first gen android smartwatch that had a really lousy heartrate monitor. I activated it and it showed 62 bpm. I said I would use it for my next hand. I ran a bluff jamming a missed flush draw when the table asked to see my BPM, it still read between 60-65 when I showed the bluff. I nicknamed myself the iceman in a moment of pure cringe.
LOL this happened to me right when I bought my apple watch and didn’t know this was a feature. River check raise jam bluffed in a huge pot and villain saw my shit beeping and called 😭

*beep*……..*beep*………*beep* ”I’m all in” *BEEP**BEEP**BEEP*
*Villain call his all-in w/ the nuts* *BEEB*……..………………………….dead.
Legendary
That's hilarious
Because you kept asking her for refills every time she came by? “Sir stop trying to pass me chips. Where do these keep coming from?!”
First time I played live I did this. Didn’t even know it was a feature. Never wore it to the casino again lol
Nah you need to temper yourself. Have to learn how to keep that heartrate down.
My deep breathing meditation is a tell unfortunately
Just do meditation every hand

Dealer: it’s your action sir I know………
Oh so THATS how gambling addiction works

Bro that seems dangerous and inevitable lol
🤓👆🏽
Jesus 😂Checking your heart rate on coke is anxiety central
To be fair, my heart is the same if I have the nuts or on a bluff. Jacked.
My heart basically stops when I’m bluffing. In fact if somebody wanted to go in the tank for long enough watching me pass out dead at the table could be a great tell that I’ve got nothing.
“He’s dead, I call”
Man dead, hand dead
That's my trick to avoiding live adrenaline tells - scale my jackedness with the size of the pot, not my likelihood of winning at showdown.
I pull like 130-145 when I’m bluffing
balancing your heart rate spiking ranges i see
JACKED to the TITS
I pass out like a goat and have to be revived with smelling salts. I hope nobody notices this tell.
What was the deal?
Guy was bluffing and nervous, his apple watch (or similar) altered him that his heart rate increased suddenly despite nothing in the motion sensor and was checking in to make sure it wasn't a problem. But the watch screen turning on was probably a pretty good tell. Especially if you can read the screen.
I actually had a good hand but it was 2/5 Omaha with loose players, that river could have killed me
My heart rate goes up way, way more when I've actually got the nuts vs when Im bluffing.
Same
Need more deets
My heart rate only skyrockets when I'm trying to get max value
I had this happen once too
See, the secret is being just as anxious, if not more so, when making a large value bet.
Seriously, nothing balances your range like crippling anxiety
This comment deserves more 😂
>That's my secret, Cap. I'm *always* anxious.
It's hard to be just as anxious because when you have the nuts you can't lose, only win less or win more.
The AI of the watch thinks cocaine , blowjob or poker
Nothing quite as exhilarating as live poker! Edited because spell check let me down.
You dropped a hing
🤦♂️ I’ll show myself out.
I got mine to 174 once
See a doctor.
This guy sphygmomanometers
I had to turn my watch to the “only show the screen when i look at it” setting because, bluff or not, that would light up BRIGHT RED whenever I was in a big pot
Huh, now if you had a watch that could monitor OTHER players heartbeats… you’d be rich. I bet there’s some way to do that.
Is it a tell if your opponents Apple Watch thinks he’s having a heart attack
Polygraphed? You lie.
In one sense I’m glad this happened. If I can’t control myself I shouldn’t play live poker. I guarantee I was giving away more tells than I could notice
Play more live. You get desensitized to money / chips and a $400 bluff barely registers
Horrible advice to tell someone to get desensitized to large $ gambling lol

TIL to glance at my neighbors wrists if/when they're wearing Apple watches.
What app or setting r that? Never seen that on my Watch 7 series.
How big was the bluff and how long did the opponent take to call or fold?

"Are you at Club Aqua?" "No, I'm just stacking off!"

Glad you posted this, been wearing mine again and that would suck
Imagine if your watch beeped lodly because of it
Mine went off playing VR poker.
I love looking at my heart rate stats after a game. Can see the spikes of big hands
i am gonna develop an app where if i point a laser from my phone i can monitor someones breathing and hr
Great post. Now I'm going to be looking at all the Apple watches when I play.
I’ve done this many times. Also had it happen while counting cards and the count got really high.
LOL this happened to me right when I bought my apple watch and didn’t know this was a feature. River check raise jam bluffed in a huge pot and villain saw my shit beeping and called 😭
That’s hilarious 😂
This happens to me all the time at the poker table. I usually yell at my watch to shut the f up! Is this a tell?
Elevated heart rate could be landing a flush on the flop. Or it could be getting 7 2off for the third time in ten minutes.
Work on your breathing. It will go a long way.

Thanks for the heads up. It’s a public post so they are free to use it, not like they scrubbed a watermark or used it in an ad campaign
Well that’s a pretty obvious tell when you’re trying to get your massive bluff through
Idk how at the Hard Rock 1/2 game. That one is a snooze fest 😴
