Several names in the poker world have been etched as legendary: Brunson, Chan, Hellmuth, Ungar, Moss and Baldwin. They are the men who shaped poker as we know it today; without them, poker would not exist in its current form worldwide.

The men behind the growth and popularity of poker are the very reason that the sport is played in dorm rooms, kitchens, and casinos around the world. This week, the PocketFives.com Podcast features Mike Caro. Author of the draw poker and statistics chapters of Doyle Brunson’s “Super System” and the man behind “Mike Caro’s Book of Tells,” The Mad Genius discusses the vintage days of poker as well as his world-renowned books.

Caro discussed his “Book of Tells,” which you’ll find in the home of every serious live and online poker player in the world: “It’s a book that has 179 photographs showing when people are bluffing and when they are not. It’s not based on my homespun wisdom; it’s based on things that players can relate to because they all have had the same tendencies. To this day, you don’t hear anybody arguing about any of these tells because they’re all accurate.”
