Reliable Online Poker Tells

Posted by Bill @ 8:27 pm

Many players will tell you that online poker tells either don’t exist or are difficult to judge. That’s a load. All the online pros know the tells but it’s some sort of unspoken rule never to let others in on it. Well, that ends right now! I will share with my loyal readers 5 of the top online poker tells that they (and we know who “they” is, don’t we?) don’t want you to know about.

Steaming/Tilt

Here’s a subtle clue that your opponent is on tilt.

Notice the smoke coming out of the player�s ears? That�s a dead giveaway!

The Fishy Player

Ever wonder if that runner, runner suck out was brilliant play or you�ve found yourself an uber-fish? Guess no more. Just take a look at the fishy tells this guy is giving off.

No need to wait until you have 100 hands on this guy in PokerTracker. You�ve got this guy�s number cold.

Strong

Ever find yourself sitting on a questionable hand like KJo and wonder if you should try to limp in? Well, take a look around the table. If you see this tell, get out of the hand as quickly as possible.

Maniac

There�s Loose / Aggressive Bad and then there�s Loose / Aggressive Good. If you see this tell, find another table.

Deception

This isn�t really a tell so much as a warning. She�s a man, baby!!! That�s an Adam�s apple.
