		Body Language
		Some players change posture. Shoulders drop when less confident. Sitting in an erect position can show strength. A player who bluffs alot can lean forward in a confrontational way.
		Glancing
		It is common for players to quickly glance at their chips if they make a hand after a flop. This may be a subconscious reaction, but the player is already planning his attack.
