Can't say I've ever seen any reverse tells that were intentional.
What I can say is I have seen on several occasions a maniac or a LAG "flood the zone" with all sorts of chatter on almost every hand. They'll make a strong or weak hand statements. Sometimes strong means strong and sometimes it means weak. Sometimes weak means weak and sometimes it means strong. They use the chatter so often and are so random with it that it really becomes meaningless and can't be used as a tell (or reverse tell) at all. I think they think they're being clever but they're really just rambling too much for anyone to take anything they say seriously.
Oh, thanks for writing that. I'd actually meant to include something about how there can just be sometimes noise/randomness/strangeness and that can make us think there's some leveling/thought going into it when there's really not. Thanks for reminder, I think I'll go back and try to add that in at end.
Excellent article, Zach!
Yes, please consider adding a video about Reverse Tells!
