[ UntoldPokerSecrets.com ] Issue #3

Hi again Affiliate,

So did you give in to curiosity and buy my book?  Regardless, let me share a few more tidbits with you!

A large disadvantage to playing poker in person, at a brick-and-mortar casino, is all of the distractions that are present to the player when he/she is trying to concentrate on their opponents and pick up on tells. Within one blink of an eye, your chance to pick up on an expression that your opponent did not want you to see can pass.

Fortunate for us online players, we do not have to deal with any of the classic confusion of normal poker. Even though you are not face to face with your opposition, it is much easier to tell what is going on in the minds of your opponents. Since the only constantly changing variable is the cards and your opponent, subtle signs and patterns are far simpler to pick up on if you know what you are looking for. These small tells are often overlooked by most online players, but they can let you know much more then you may have previously thought.

Commonly, while playing online you will encounter an opponent who will use the check boxes in the casino software such as "Fold","Check/Fold", "Call All", and "Raise All". You can catch on to this quickly, since as soon as you make your move the opponent will almost instantly respond with another move. Below I will discuss a few generalities, which while they may not hold true all the time,they will be pretty accurate for most people.

When people pre-select the "check/fold" option, they do not have anything and would like to see some more free cards, however if you bet then they will fold. It will also be a good idea to keep in mind what type of a player you are dealing with (aggressive, solid, passive, etc), and use this information to create a much clearer image of the mindset of your opponent.

If the opponent decides to use the pre-selected "raise all"check box, then there are two different possibilities as to what is going on. They will either have an absolutely awesome hand, intending to call it all the way to the river, or they are ultra aggressive and are making a move to scare you from the pot. Logically, you would at that point want to refer to your player notes and see whether or not this player is a particularly aggressive player or a conservative player. Based on that information you will immediately know whether to call them or fold.
