Online Poker Tells

 

Online Speed Tells

When an opponent does a fast check it usually means that they are holding a mediocre hand unless he
always uses the pre-select buttons.   You should be worried if a player re-raises after checking

immediately because he could have been trying to trap you into betting out your hand.

 

Online poker players who pause and then check their hand usually have a drawing hand.  These type of
players want a free card from you.  Knowing this online tell, don't let the online poker players get their free
card from you.

 

Online poker players who take a while to place their bet usually have a great hand or they think that
you're bluffing and want you to know it.

 

Another online tell is when a player raises quickly on the river.  Usually this type of behaviour means they
have a good hand or they are in a desperate attempt to bluff you out.  Once you figure out how the player

plays the river you should be able to know when to raise or fold.

Online Chat Tells

Online poker players can pick up a lot of tells from the chat box.  They can pick up the type of poker
player they are playing against and what kind of mood they are in.

 

It can be easy to spot a online poker player on tilt.  If the online poker player suddenly become sarcastic
or mean to the other players, he is usually going on tilt.

A online poker player that just can't stop giving free advice to everyone usually is a poker player who has

just recently made their first final table.  These players are probably not that experienced and should be

easy competition.

Avoid Giving Online Tells

Most online tells that online poker players give are due to their betting speed and their chat.  Players
should try to bet at the same speed to avoid giving online tells.
