Online poker still continues to grow and the really big poker sites can today offer free poker tourneys, or freerolls, with prizes over 2 Million dollar. Winning this sort of tournament on the other hand will probably be anything but easy; to reach the final event the players need to pass 3 qualification rounds.

Playing poker has one advantage compared to other various ways of competing against each other. You are allowed to bluff! In live poker games a professional poker player can quickly learn a persons tells and from there know if he/she is making a bluff. They do this by looking for signs like the voice changing, eyes, playing with chips, betting speed etc and although you probably don’t know your own tell they do.

How about online poker then, this surely eliminates having tells and reads on someone, or is there ways of knowing what your opponent have playing online? Well, the most common views of how your opponents could interpret your actions and behavior are not that difficult to understand. Here is some info about online poker tells

Fast Check – 75% of the experienced online poker players interprets a Fast Check as sign of a weak hand.

Fast Bets and Raise’s – Same 75% thinks that a fast bet or fast raise indicates of a strong hand.

Slow Check – 72% interprets a slow check as a sign of weakness

Slow Raise – 73% interprets a raise after a longer pause as a sign of strong hand

Another thing is the automatic folds, checks and raise buttons which can speed up the game. Players using these are often considered to be predictable since they follow a certain pattern.

Playing online poker is not about looking in your opponent’s eyes but it’s finding and correctly interpret the actions on the screen. Live poker offers of course more and easier ways to find tells but they do exist in online poker. We strongly recommend focusing on the games and for god sake don’t watch TV or talk in the phone when playing online, you could miss something crucial.
Almost 90% of the online poker rooms has today advanced statistics feature, which allows you to add notes of each player. This is useful and should not be ignored.

TIP: Join a table and look for the various behaviors of the players. When you have learned how your opponents play use that in order to declare your hand being strong/weak and take them down.
