Online Poker Strategy-Improve Your Odds of Winning Online!
By Sean Moronse

Poker is a largely psychological game. Therefore, your odds of
winning not only depend on the hand that you are dealt with but
with how good you are at analyzing every move of your opponent.
However, with online poker, you can not tell how your opponent
is physically responding to every card being drawn or every move
being made because unlike regular poker games, you are not in
the same room as your opponent. Nevertheless, this fact should
not hinder you from analyzing your opponents online since there
is a proven online poker strategy that will allow you to do just
this.

This online poker strategy involves identifying ‘tells’.
‘Tells’ are defined as actions made by another player which can
give you an idea of the cards he is holding. The reason behind
why offline poker players wear shades is that they are
preventing their opponents from seeing their pupils widen when
they possess a strong hand. Since this will not be possible with
an online game, here are several ‘tells’ which you can use to
increase your odds of winning a game of poker online.

First ‘tell’ you might want to take into notice is the speed of
play. Although this can be affected by the player’s internet
connection, you can still check out how fast or how slow he puts
in his bets. Every online poker room has a set time for a player
to respond and observing the response time of a player will tell
you something about the hand he is currently holding. A quick
bet is a sign of a weak hand. Slow bets can be a sign of
strategic planning as the player is still thinking of his odds
of winning with the hand he is currently holding.

The use of check boxes during the play can also improve your
online poker strategy when identifying tells. The use of these
check boxes can prove to your advantage if you know what each
implies. When a player checks on the raise any option, you can
assume that he is holding a strong hand. On the other hand, if
he just marks check then he definitely has a weak hand, unless
if he decides to bluff with this one.

Another ‘tell’ that can be observed is through the use of the
chat box. If you notice a chatterbox suddenly clam up, then it
is wise to assume that he is holding a strong hand because he is
focusing on how to get the biggest pot. Like other ‘tells’, the
use of the chat box can also lead to a player’s downfall because
one can bluff and manipulate his actions and that of others
through his words.

The use of ‘tells’ is just one online poker strategy you can
use in your online poker experience. There are other strategies
which can help you improve your game as to the discipline and
calculations made during the game, yet this particular online
poker strategy will help you nonetheless because even without
seeing your opponent, you can already anticipate his moves and
be on your way to outwit him.
