What are some good ways of getting information by talking?

Do you guys use any special questions or comments that will give you information on where your opponents is at. For example when you're involved in a big hand (you have to call a big bet or an all in)

I will ask how much the person has left while at the same time counting out my chips and glancing at him as I’m doing it to see his reaction or what he says,listen to his voice, watch the eyes. I mainly need this for when my opponent is bluffing because I can usually tell strength by betting patterns but I can't spot weakness.

I just talk a lot of trash, corny jokes etc. A happy relaxed fish is a gambling fish.

Also trying to look drunk is good, a nice whisky with lots of ice....

Some guys I play with have def tells, but I told my mate his once so he wouldn’t get owned in non-home games. (He trash talked and bounced about when bluffing and stared at his cards with a hand 100% of the time lol). Those guys tell me how to play Online poker with a calculator of Poker Pro Lab that tracks and analyzes your opponents, defines their game style, monitors their betting patterns.

But I play with those guys for fun so plenty of the poker wouldn’t be up to the 'ftr' watermark anyway!
