Your Online Poker Face
If you play online in the same poker room, under the same poker
name you will probably at some point meet players that remember
you. If you have taken good notes when you play, you will
remember how they play. These players probably have some notes
on you.
Some people who play online do not buy into the "online poker
face" belief. However, "the online poker face" exists. The trick
is learning to decide which poker face you will use for the day.
If you feel like you are not very good at this, then switch
rooms frequently and play at different times of the day. If you
are "readable" then you are "beatable" and ome of the more
"telling" signs are discussed here.
If you notice a player that is only playing the top hands, it is
safe to say he or she is a "tight player". You will also be able
to determine the "loose" player who will inevitably show some
weaker hands at the end of the hand after raising the pot before
the flop. Don't be that player. It's alright to occasionally
show some weaker hands at the end of the pot, but not after a
ridiculous raise before the flop.
Another sign some of the more skilled online players will note
is how quickly a player will bet. It is a sign of skill if you
wait a moment before betting. It's perceived as weakness if you
auto-check or auto-fold. Think about your next move and think
about the poker face you want the other players to see.
Another good rule of thumb is to mix it up a bit. Be aggressive
when you may not need to be but can afford to do so, then "limp"
into the pot with A-A and take your opponents for all they are
worth!
