I am sure as experience poker players you are fairly informed about your own tells from other player especially friends when they beat you at a game of poker. But did you know that players also give away tells online, though it is harder to spot as you can’t see a person in-front of you for those twitches or repetitive actions. Tells can often be described as a action which allows other to read much more into a action when normally they wouldn’t.
Here are a few of the most common tells, more will be published in the next article
Ranting
Players you will often find when in the process of beating a opponent that the player on the losing end start to talk that they are not usually like this and don’t play that badly. As you cannot see their faces to see sign of eye rolling and obscene gestures, they revert to insults using the chat box. As they have no control over the deck due to the software, they will start to complain that the game may be rigged or you are cheating in some way.
If a player starts to complain that the software is rigged then this means that they are ones to target when looking for good wins. Usually ranters are players who often believe that they are better than they really are, make sure you play well and try back talking them to tickle their egos. As they get more aggressive in ranting they will often find themselves making mistakes, as we all say winning is usually defeating people who act stupidly.
Chat Privileges removed
Often players who have had their chat privilege removed will like to point out to the rest of the players that they have had it taken away from them, often they do this to complain against the casino. Those who have the status can be classed as immature and easy targets of getting to wind up. If you are in a game with one of these players and they lose badly they will want to rant, but due to their predicament they are not able to, you can push this person by congratulating the winner for their game. This will make the player who lost more angry and often challenge for a rematch where they will be easy to win.
The Know it All
Often you may come across players who like to use the chat box to talk to you about how much they know about the game and why they will beat you. Of course they will give you all sorts of theories why they get beaten. These players are often new and don’t often last long in games, so they are easy to target.
