Betting Patterns

Pay attention to how a poker online player bets, because figuring out online poker opponents betting pattern is a great way to take the guesswork out of their hands. Some players will only place a big raise before the flop with big hands, while others will often try to buy the pot with mediocre or lousy hands. Pay attention to how a poker online player bets, and you’ll be able to take advantage of their tendencies. I know several aggressive players who like to make huge bets pre-flop while holding rags. I used to hate playing against them, because they would gobble up pots like candy and I’d hardly ever get to see the flop. Once I realized what was going on, however, I was able to call their bets with less premium hands, knowing that they had a tendency to bluff. Once I learned that they were usually playing with rags, I would call them and we’d usually check to the end, and my middle pair would hold up to their 7-high. Once I really learned to take advantage, I starting raising after the flop, just to see them fold and have their bluff attempt make its way into my stack. I went from hating those guys to loving their donations.
