This is the perfect way to look like a douchebag online poker player:
Now obviously if this guy is making millions like Kenny Louagie: nothing but respect. But most likely he’s one of those “grind 5-10k a month” and that makes him an uberdouche!

I’m a huge fan of TableScan Pro, it’s by far the fastest tablescanner, it’s easy to use and it gives you a very GOOD idea of the softness of the game.
GAME SELECTION IS KEY, AND THIS HELPS!
Obviously you can also just join whatever table Eli Elezra is on…
All right, card sharks, we have officially come to the end of this series of posts. Here we will chronicle the fifth and final key difference you will observe when playing poker in an online casino. You see, there are some things you need to be careful about when you are playing on the internet, especially as it applies to the games you choose to play and the rooms you choose to frequent.
The most common mistake online players make is going to low limit games and trying to be sly and tricky. Don’t do that! Most of the time, it is not really worth the effort. $3/6 games, $5/10 games — do not waste your tricks and strategies on such low limits.
You can typically, rightfully assume that the players in these games are new or at least amateur. You do not need to get too smart with them, you do not need to bluff with them. Save your real skills for the big boys.
Smack talking and frequently calling are not the only differences between bricks casinos and online casinos. Quite often, the seemingly smallest differences are actually the largest.
On the internet, whether you are playing poker, Blackjack, roulette, or anything else, you typically are not going to know whether you are playing with Steve or Bob or Bill. Online monikers are necessary, screen names, nicknames, et cetera. The good players have them and the bad players do as well. “BluffMaster.” “King-of-Hold-Em.” “RunnerRunnerMaster.” In some ways, screen names are another way of talking smack. They are designed, sometimes, to intimidate other players.
That is why, no matter what, you really cannot pay attention to the screen names you see in an online poker room. Just because someone claims to be a master at bluffing means he or she really is. Strange names abound and most of them are quite deceptive. Disregard them. Focus on the player, not the player’s screen name.
