PORTLAND, OR, November 09, 2012 (Press-News.org) A new book on the analysis of poker behavior is being called by many the best work on the subject. The book, Reading Poker Tells, is an instructional guide for interpreting the physical and verbal behavioral patterns, or "tells," of poker players. It was written by former professional poker player Zachary Elwood and published by Portland, Oregon publisher Via Regia.
Elwood said he was inspired to write a book on poker tells when he realized that previous books treated the subject too simplistically and that none had gone into enough detail about the "subtleties and complexities of human behavior at the poker table."
The book has received enthusiastic reviews from both recreational and experienced poker players. Mason Malmuth, author and co-owner of respected poker publishing house Two Plus Two, said Reading Poker Tells was "clearly the best book on this aspect of live play."
Philip Newall, professional poker player and author of The Intelligent Poker Player, called the book a "clear winning investment for any frequent live player."
One unique aspect of the book is its organization of poker tells into situational categories, such as "waiting-for-action" and "post-bet." In the words of the author, "without a good mental framework for thinking about poker behavior, you're apt to be overwhelmed with the amount of 'noise' at the table."
The Reading Poker Tells paperback is currently available at most major online book sellers and select brick-and-mortar bookstores. The ebook is available on several websites, including the publisher's website. The ebook comes as a bundle of three common ebook file formats: EPUB, MOBI, and PDF.

Aspirin effective in preventing clots following joint replacement surgery
2012-11-08
(PHILADELPHIA) – If you've had joint replacement surgery, it's likely you've been given warfarin, a common blood thinner and clot-preventer, prior to surgery. While effective, research from the Rothman Institute at Jefferson has shown aspirin to be just as effective in preventing clots, specifically pulmonary emboli, life-threatening blood clots that can develop in the arteries of the lungs following joint replacement surgery. Their research was recognized as one of the best poster presentations at the recent American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) meeting ...
Gene find turns soldier beetle defence into biotech opportunity
2012-11-08
New antibiotic and anti-cancer chemicals may one day be synthesised using biotechnology, following CSIRO's discovery of the three genes that combine to provide soldier beetles with their potent predator defence system.
CSIRO researchers, and a colleague at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, published details of the gene identification breakthrough and potential applications recently in the international journal Nature Communications.
"For the first time, our team has been able to isolate and replicate the three genes that combine to make the potent fatty acid that soldier ...
Cedars-Sinai research: Preclinical muscular dystrophy data shows promise
2012-11-08
LOS ANGELES — Nov. 7, 2012 – Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute researchers have found that an experimental compound may help stem the debilitating effects of muscular dystrophy by restoring normal blood flow to muscles affected by the genetic disorder.
The researchers studied HCT 1026, a new type of molecule in which nitric oxide is chemically attached to a standard anti-inflammatory agent, in a preclinical model of muscular dystrophy. Results suggest HCT 1026 may be beneficial for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which begins in early childhood, and Becker muscular ...
Capturing carbon with clever trapdoors
2012-11-08
University of Melbourne Engineers have developed a novel method of collecting and storing carbon dioxide that will reduce the cost of separating and storing carbon dioxide.
The quest to capture carbon dioxide is crucial to a cleaner future and once captured, carbon dioxide can be compressed and safely stored.
It is also a useful source for chemical manufacture. However, current processes are inefficient and require several stages of refining and extraction before a pure form of carbon dioxide is produced.
One method of capturing carbon dioxide is through molecular ...
Historic coral collapse on Great Barrier Reef
2012-11-08
Australian marine scientists have unearthed evidence of an historic coral collapse in Queensland's Palm Islands following development on the nearby mainland.
Cores taken through the coral reef at Pelorus Island confirm a healthy community of branching Acropora corals flourished for centuries before European settlement of the area, despite frequent floods and cyclone events. Then, between 1920 and 1955, the branching Acropora failed to recover.
Scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at the University of Queensland say the rapid collapse of ...
The right pace of neural development protects against autism and intellectual disability
2012-11-08
Neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders are marked by mutations that impair signaling between neurons. These mutations cause key brain circuits involved in learning and memory to develop too quickly, leading to long-lasting behavioral and cognitive deficits, according to a study published by Cell Press in the November 9th issue of the journal Cell. The findings could pave the way to new treatment strategies for severe forms of neurodevelopmental disorders.
"We have provided perhaps the first evidence that acceleration ...
Fairy-wren babies need password for food

It's always a good idea to listen to your mother, but that goes double for baby fairy-wrens even before they are hatched.
If those fairy-wren babies want to be fed, they need to have a password—a single unique note—taught to them by their mothers from outside the egg. The nestlings incorporate that password right into their begging calls, according to researchers who report their discovery online ...
Scientists uncover secrets of how intellect and behavior emerge during childhood
2012-11-08
JUPITER, FL – Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have shown that a single protein plays an oversized role in intellectual and behavioral development. The scientists found that mutations in a single gene, which is known to cause intellectual disability and increase the risk of developing autism spectrum disorder, severely disrupts the organization of developing brain circuits during early childhood. This study helps explain how genetic mutations can cause profound cognitive and behavioral problems.
The study was published in the ...
Meet Xenoceratops: Canada's newest horned dinosaur
2012-11-08
Ottawa, Canada (November 8, 2012) – Scientists have named a new species of horned dinosaur (ceratopsian) from Alberta, Canada. Xenoceratops foremostensis (Zee-NO-Sare-ah-tops) was identified from fossils originally collected in 1958. Approximately 20 feet long and weighing more than 2 tons, the newly identified plant-eating dinosaur represents the oldest known large-bodied horned dinosaur from Canada. Research describing the new species is published in the October 2012 issue of the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences.
"Starting 80 million years ago, the large-bodied ...
