Poker Tips for online players



A new poker player may over bluff

A common mistake a new poker player may make is to over bluff. The difference between the bluff and the semi bluff is, when bluffing you usually do not have a winning hand. The semi bluff is used when you have a hand that could win depending on the next card drawn.


Try betting instead

When you have a particular hand that you would like to call with, try betting instead. This gives the other players the impression that you might be holding a superior hand and their chances of folding might increase.


Learn about your opponents

Just as you are trying to learn about your opponents, they are trying to learn about you. Try to change your patterns as much as you can. Do not just wait for the good hands, because others will see you doing this.


Stray from tightness

Many players gradually stray from tightness after getting comfortable at the tables. Don't fall into this trap. You should be putting money into the pot less than 20 percent of the time.


A good Poker hand

The number of players participating in the game largely determines what is considered a good Poker hand. The greater the number of players - the stronger your hand needs to be to win.


The best hand

Betting is not always because you have the best hand. Top players use various betting techniques to try to gain information. For example, a defensive bet is one that you can use early on to avoid calling a bigger future bet. A re-raise may be used to probe the credibility of your opponent's hand.


When someone bluffs

When someone lies, or bluffs, the eyes have a tendency to move down and to the left. This is a by-product of accessing a certain 'creative' portion of the brain as opposed to glancing up and to the right when someone is accessing the more analytical portion of their brain.


Betting on the flop

If you initiated the betting on the flop with what you felt was the best hand, continue to bet it.


Don't pretend

Don't pretend that your some big time poker player unless you have the bankroll to back it up. The experts agree that you should start with at least 50 times the table limit.


You dont need to be a master

You do not need to be a master poker player to be successful, but understanding the game at a higher level than your competitors wll always give you the competitive edge.


Fast play before the flop

Fast play high pairs and very strong hands before the flop. This puts more money in the early pot and encourages weak and garbage hands to fold that could get a lucky flop and beat you.


The foundation of your hand

The first 5/7 cards you receive will be the foundation of your hand. Build your strategy around these. You're not likely to better your opening hand. We believe that the odds of improving your hand on the draw are about even.


Dont draw to the low end

Don't draw to the low end or both ends of a straight. If a 9 8 7 flops, you want to be playing the J 10 and not the 6 5 or the 10 6. The low part is commonly called the 'ignorant' end of the straight.
