Tells Tell All...
I can remember spotting these things back in the early days when Party Poker had all the action... I used to play a lot of 7 stud games online then, as well as all the others.. Something I always used to my benefit was the perfect card order these types of games offered... Example: I could match the involvment of the hand to the order of the cards as they fell, and not have to rely on my memory to replay the action.. I always found it to be an added bonus..
Action Buttons:
Many online poker rooms have action buttons that will allow players to state their intentions on a hand before the action actually gets to them. The computer will execute this decision as soon as it is the player’s turn. You can tell that a player has used an action button because there will be absolutely no pause between that players action and the previous players. Your opponents will most likely use the “call any” action button if they are on a draw and the “raise any” button if they have a solid hand. They will seldom use these buttons on a bluff, since a bluff is situation dependant. As a result, be more likely to respect these types of bets.
Pauses: (My opinion on this one is that we have to take into consideration that people playing on-line often times play in multiple games at once. This can cause pauses in there play as well..)
Pay attention to how long your opponent takes to call or raise you. If a player intentionally stalls and then raises you, they often have a very strong hand and are trying to lure you in. If they stall and then just call, they often have weak, marginal hands, or drawing hands.Word of caution: While poker tells are a very powerful tool that will take your game to the next level, they should be viewed as a supplement to (not a replacement of) the solid fundamental game that you learned as a beginning player. Do not, for example, call an opponent all the way down with a queen high just because you know he is bluffing. Do, however, use the information you learned to make tough and marginal decisions easier and more profitable.
