Online Poker Tells
Poker tells are basically how a player responds with each hand based on what cards his or she has in hand. When you play with someone for a couple of hands you will soon begin to pick up on the poker tells. Many believe that online poker tells don't really exist since you cannot see the body language of those that you are playing with.
One thing that you can look for in the way of online poker tells is speed of play. Generally speaking if someone makes a quick bet that is usually a sign of a weak hand, while someone who plays slowly is usually holding a strong hand. When a player bets slowly this usually means that he or she is strategizing, taking their time to be sure that they are making the right move every step of the way. It's important with online poker tells to give some time though, as the Internet often lags, making a bet take longer than it should.

Chatting can be another of the great online poker tells. If you are playing with someone who is very chatty, either online or in person for that matter, who gets very quiet you can almost bet that they are dealing with a good hand of cards. The reason for this is that he or she is focusing more on their cards so that they can maximize the pot. Of course, the opposite can also be true. If you are playing a hand and someone suddenly becomes boastful or cocky, this is usually a bluff! You can determine for sure the online poker tells of each player simply by playing a few hands with them.
