With a new popular online 2D Poker and 3D Poker room coming up every month, it has become quite important for new players to learn the ropes and basics of poker play. Let’s discuss poker tells, in this article. A “poker tell” is any clue, habit, behavior or physical response, that gives other players more information about your hand. The following are tips and you can utilize against novice or advanced players. Remember, in poker there are many contradictions and exceptions to the rule. Also, experienced pros will give out false tells to fool players.
Watch the Eyes
This is why many pros wear shades or visors/caps when playing; they know that the eyes rarely lie.
Facial Expression
Again, many pros try to disguise their entire face by wearing a cap and looking downward. This is to void the classic stare-down that poker pros are famous for. They may try to study your face for nerves (detecting a weak hand), or even look for repetitive characteristics like a body “tic”. You may have obvious unhappiness in your face when your hand is weak, and conversely, you may show a contrasting show of confidence when your hand is strong.
Weak is Strong/Strong is Weak
In its most simplistic form, this usually applies to novice players but a great deal applies to pros as well. Basically, players like to be actors, and when they have a monster hand they tend to look disinterested. Repetitive Betting Patterns
Betting habits
Usually the most revealing poker tells are based on the way a player habitually bets during particular situations. For example, possibly the player always checks when he has made the nuts, or a player may regularly fold after being re-raised.
All betting habits in live play and specially free poker online sites are quite different from each other, as you cannot really see your player in front of you during online play.
