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.

Poker Tips for online players
Consider foldingHow do you know if your cards are good? A general rule is that you should seriously consider folding before the flop if you have two non-pair cards, both less than 10.Consider how big the pot isWhen faced with a tricky should-I-call-or-not decision; consider how big the pot is. A really big pot might make the call worth it. Always weigh the odds of the winning hand against the size of the pot.Better cardsEven though two aces is the best hand to start with, the board may kill them. If you suspect that all the other players now have better cards, you are probably right. Learn to drop them, or it will cost you.Notice his styleFigure out your opponents hand by noticing his style and his strategy. Is he aggressive? Or is he tight and folds a lot? When he thinks, is he actually hesitating, or does he just want you to think he's hesitating? Poker is a true game of treachery.Win at Texas Holdem pokerTo win at Texas Holdem poker you must play tight in loose games and play in loose games only. You have no edge in a tight holdem game and you only have an edge in a loose game if you play tight.Typical starting handsThe ace, ace (AA) and king, king (KK) are typical starting hands that very seldom should be played passively. They are at their best early in a hand, so don't hesitate to commit. Be aggressive!Sufficient bankrollIn a $0.5/$1 game, the recommended minimum that a player should bring is at least 50 times the upper limit (50x$1) to play an hour. Without a sufficient bankroll is it very difficult to win.Going all inEvery time you go all-in you risk going bust or being eliminated from a tournament. You often don't have to go all-in to bluff. You may simply scare or counterattack you opponent. A large raise or reraise will do the job.Face to faceWhen playing poker face to face, signs such as the eyes, facial expression, trembling hands etc. can give indication to the hand a player has. Also the ability to read players based on previous hands gives good indication on the player's tendencies.A general ruleAs a general rule, don't try to steal a pot by trying to bluff a poor player, a heavy winner or a heavy loser. They will either figure you out or just get lucky. Either way you lose.There are tellsIn online poker, there are tells. The most obvious is the speed of the placed bet. This can be misleading since many players online react fast or slow because they are also engaged in other activities such as playing at another table (in online poker you can play at multiple tables simultaneously).New to the gameIf you are new to the game take the time to play some free or low stake poker. Experienced poker players new to internet poker should familiarise themselves to the online version of the game. Make sure you know the house rules and hand values. Take advantage of online tutorials and internet primers at some of the online poker rooms.Bluff morePlay with focus. The best strategy is to play conservatively when there are still a lot of players (as in a no-limit game) and bluff more as the number of players go down. |
