Understanding Online Casinos: 4

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

online-4One thing you need to learn how to do when playing poker on the internet in an online casino is how to spot tells. In a bricks and mortar casino, of course, this is far, far easier. Many online players believe that they do not give away any tells; similarly, a lot of online players also believe that they will not be able to spot an opponent’s tells. Neither of these things are true.

You may not be able to see your opponents’ faces, but you can judge their actions. For instance, pay attention to how quickly — or slowly — the other players bet. How long does it take them? A fast bet is generally indicative of a strong hand, while a player who is slower to bet is likely judging how well they can bluff a not so great hand.
