Love online poker?? Now here are a few interesting ways to bluff online and win the big bucks!
There are some differences between live and online poker in regards to bluffing. As a general rule, players tend to bluff a little more often on the Internet than they do in a live game. The virtual environment of the Internet makes many players play a little more deceptively then they would do against a live opponent. The virtual atmosphere also makes it a whole lot easier to commit your chips since you only have to click your mouse. Compare this ambiance to a live game where you have to physically move your chips to the center of the table while your opponents are watching your every move. Therefore, you may need to keep your opponents honest a little more online than you would do in a live game.
On the other hand, your opponents are will tend to call your bluffs a little more often than they would in a live game since they also recognize that players tend to bluff quite often on the Internet. Calling is also easier online since they only have to click their mouse. Because of this, you will have to consider bluffing more carefully when online.
One more thing about bluffing is that some of its value is that when you bluff often, your opponents will tend to call more often, too, which may prove useful when you have a strong hand. But online this "advertising" value of bluffing is decreased, comparing to a live play. A general assumption will also be that people playing online, are usually paying less attention to the game, so they may not notice your bluffs. On top of that, your opponents switch more often, so you won't have enough time to create an image of a person who bluffs often (or, on the contrary, never bluffs). Still, if the online poker game you are playing continue for a considerable time with the same players, you may get some benefit from this strategy.You may be cashing in on the BIG BUCKS !!! =)
So to all the crazy online poker fans... good luck!!!
Cheers
