There are certain types of poker players. These players make money at playing poker. I figure this is because they know something. Unfortunately, most of the players who make money know less about poker than the players who lose money.
What differentiates these players? The players who make money know the secret. They know mathematical probabilities. They know percentages. They know percentages of starting hands. They know the odds of various combinations.
Not only do you need to know these percentages; you need to know them for each stage of the game. All of these percentages are relevant, and remembering them will be very important later when you have to make a decision.
Often, the information you yourself have about a player can be very unreliable. You know him or her well, but there are still so many variables. Why is this? Because we, as humans, are very emotional and attached to names and faces. It is part of our evolved psychology.
Some players are really good at pretending they have a lot of flaws like holding patterns. They may actually have many flaws but they know they will win because of the percentages. They may be able to get the table to believe what they are saying in order to get them to make these folds, but if you really look at their actions, they actually have a lot of flaws.
You can tell if someone is a poker tell because they will try to talk you into letting them play if they have a very good hand. Most poker tells are obvious. You can evenesty professional similarly will try to lie about their cards – something they know they will win more often than they lose.
Players can also communicate their poker tells through body language and attitude. If they have an expression or a way of walking that is telling you something, they probably have a good hand. If they are obviously nervous, they probably have a good hand.
You can adapt poker tells to each other. If a player seems nervous or excited, they may actually have a good hand. If they are looking at their chips, they are trying to calculate how much they will bet.
There are two main types of Dewagg tells. Involuntary and voluntary. The easiest to describe is the involuntary poker tell. This type of tell happens when a players hand is not right. They shove or fidget with their chips. Having a hand that is not as strong as theirs is a sure sign of mental weakness.
The great thing about this tell is that you can often see it and rarely other players will notice it. It is important to be observant of this to give yourself odd little clues to whether or not someone has a decent hand. If they are looking at their chips, they might be bluffing or may need a drink or something. It is also important to know when they look at other players, particularly those that have been quiet during the play. Sometimes players get tired and there is a chance that their eyes will wander or they may be distracted.
The second type of poker tells are the voluntary poker tells. Through his movements or in his words, a player will try to tell you something about his hand. Often people will give away their hand easily but even when you do, it is important to know what he means. He could have Hamster Hands, King sized or Ace King. When a player tries to look at his or her chips, they are trying to represent strength or weakness. They could also be bluffing, but more often they are not.
Poker tells will always vary one on one. It could depend on the cards, the players, the situation, or anything else the situation is going to face. The only rule is that you do not want to trick or intimidate a player who is giving away tells. You can often tell a tell by looking at the players’ eyes, hand movements, and even their voice.
