Bluffing in online Poker PDF Print E-mail

There are major differences between bluffing in a real poker room where you are facing your opponents and can pick up facial expressions and "tell" signs, and bluffing when playing poker online, where you have the advantage of not being seen. As you might expect, players are generally more likely to bluff online.

There are countless differences between a live and a virtual game and bluffing is certainly one of the most notable among those. In an online poker room, all it takes is one click to place your bets, and the virtual environment enables players to behave more deceptively than they might feel able to in a real game. The virtual environment removes a lot of the psychological aspects of having all your moves watched by other players, but also allows players to bully more by playing recklessly.

This means that in online poker, you should be even more aware of the likelihood that your opponents are bluffing and/or bullying you and you need to learn how to spot when this occurs, even in the virtual environment. You should also be extra cautious when bluffing, and assume that your opponents are well aware of how Internet poker works.

A perfect example of bluffing:

Don't be careless when bluffing just because the game is online other players are aware of this and it's likely that they will be just as able to call your bluff, or even more so, than at a real poker table. Try not to get into regular playing habits as this will also be picked up by the other players

Of course, a well-timed bluff can be seriously lucrative, but don't over-do it! The more
you bluff, the more likely that your opponents will be able to spot it and call you on it.
If you have a good hand, of course you can turn this back on your opponents, one of the
oldest tricks in the book. Be aware though, that other players may well be trying the same trick on you.

One other important consideration when playing online is that your opponents may not pay as close attention in a virtual game as they would in a real gaming environment. You should adapt your bluffing strategy accordingly. Take all these factors into account, take good care when bluffing, look out for your opponents doing the same and with a bit of luck, it`ll all pay off at the end of the game!
