Poker Tells Online
A quick bet is a sign of weakness.
A delayed action is a sign of strength. When an opponent
thinks for a long time and then bets, they will usually
be holding a strong hand.
If you have played in an online casino before, you may
have noticed how they make it easy to act when it is your
turn. This is done through the use of check boxes –
“check” “fold” “raise”,
or “call”.
You can tell when a player has used a check box, because
they act almost immediately after the player in front
of them has acted.
Use this to your advantage.
When a player has checked “raise” it should
be obvious to you that they have a strong hand.
If a player uses the check box to “check”
then you can probably conclude that your opponents hand
is weak.
If a player uses the check box to “call”,
a good assumption is that your opponent has a drawing
hand.
The use of a checkbox is a good poker tell because the
player has already made a decision on what they are going
to do before even seeing what the other have done.
Remember to pay close attention to how your opponents
act and you will be able to spot their own individual
poker tells.
