There is a tendency among habitual poker online players to think that they will make a fortune when they go down to play with the fish. This may be true over a long period of time, but not necessarily true for the short term. Let’s look at how this works. Most online poker players are used to winning about 3 BB an hour if they are playing seriously. Even this estimate might be a bit high, but it will work for an example. IF you are winning 3 BB an hour at a medium stake , then you are used to playing against people with solid poker strategy. They know when to fold, when to bet, etc. This means that you actually win some of these blinds just because people fold. Low limit casino online players do not fold. They see everything to the end. This means that you won’t win on a bluff anymore. Most players find that their blinds per hour rate actually goes down at the lower limits because they need to value bet more. Before you get disheartened, however, you should realize that one or two BB an hour at a low limit game will actually still make a tidy profit. You are betting less in each round, so the winnings are proportionally more.

I used to take bad beats so personally that my reputation got around to people that I had never met. I didn’t realize how bad my tantrums were until a new player came to my weekly home game. As we were setting up our chips and getting everybody situated, someone brought up a recent “event” in which I had leapt over a table at a fellow player (it sounds a lot worse than it was).

It everyone chuckled as the new guy stared at me, and asked-”That was you?” Apparently he’d heard about my “poker vault” a few weeks prior when a bunch of his pals were discussing people blowing up during online poker games.

Hearing that stories of my poker temper were circulating definitely had me rethinking my approach to bad beats. While it can be fun to talk about, it’s not always fun to be around surly poker player. Poker can be a serious matter, but there’s no point in playing a game that isn’t fun. Once I realized that bad beats are a part of poker and I had to deal with them like a man or quit playing altogether.

It turns out that it is a lot more fun if you treat it like a game when you play poker online.

Over the past several years of ESPN’s broadcasting of the World Series of Poker, hosts Lon McCaren and Noman Chad have become well connected as the faces and voices of TV’s biggest online poker event. Characterized by McCaren’s more straightforward, levelheaded approach in counterbalance to Chad’s more loopy and goofy antics, the two together make for a strong balance of poker commentary, mixing enough hand analysis in with entertainment to keep the game interesting and informative at once. While sometimes Norman Chad’s joke routine can up the level of cheese like no other, his segments on ‘the Nuts,’ in casino poker on such topics as tilt, Roshambo, Johnny Chan’s greatness, and etc. offer nice relief value from the hand to hand progression: ’sideshows’ if you will. It is interesting, perhaps, that neither of the commentators are known at all for their own poker online abilities, in contrast to the more experienced and respected viewpoints of the World Poker tour’s Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten, both accomplished players in their own rights. ESPN has done a great job covering these events for through the poker boom, raising the level each year of their coverage and entertainment value, a trend which will hopefully only continue to foster new growth and fun in years to come.

A ‘berry patch’ in online poker is slang for a table of easy players (or fishes), where the money is ripe for the picking. Whereas most tables, especially at lower limits, often have at least one sucker at the casino, they can often come in packs. Sitting down at any small stakes table live or online can cement that statement in under a couple minutes, if you don’t believe me. Sometimes they’re just begging for you to pick it up.

Signs of a berry patch, besides just bad poker online card play, can include a newbie’s over-infatuation with the newness of the game, wearing poker gaudy paraphernalia, signs of drunkenness, an unawareness of common poker rules (like how to post blinds, etc), an inability to handle chips well, etc. Though some of these signs can be faked by more experienced players trying to mislead you, so let the cards do the talking! Playing in a berry patch is often a much different kind of game than when sitting down with thoughtful, attentive players. Often, when the player shows any kind of interest in the hand, you are going to need to have the goods more often than not with them, as they are often more likely than more advanced players to call their money off.

In online poker, the bluff is an essential weapon in your arsenal. It should be used selectively and with focused intention when playing at the casino. Winning with a bluff is an exulting experience. Losing a bluff can be humiliating, although it might help create an image that you can leverage later on in the game. Timing is everything when it comes to bluffing.

How and when do you make the decision to attempt a bluff? You must consider your risk vs. the potential reward you can gain. Figure out how much it will cost you to bluff. In no-limit, you can put lots of chips at risk. In limit poker, bluffing is less likely to succeed, but your losses are limited too.

Once you know how many chips you need to put in to pull off a bluff based on what you’ve observed about your opponents’ playing styles, then calculate how much you can win if the bluff works. Is it equal to or several times larger than your bet amount? The smaller the pay-off, the less reason to bluff.

If you’ve decided the pot is worth bluffing, then determine what your chances of success will be. Your only clues come from the other players. What are their playing styles and calling patterns? Can you spot any tells that make help you read an opponent’s hand? Have there been any indicators that you are up against a weak hand or a strong one?

Never bluff just for the thrill of it. Instead, base your bluffing action on the risk/reward factor and how you think other players will react to your bet.

Every time you see pokern in the movies it’s the same-dramatic close ups of the players eyes, shifting from one side to the other. Poker faces-the term itself makes you think that looking at a person’s face will tell you what he’s thinking. The problem with that logic is that so many people go to great lengths to control their expressions and hide their facial tells. When you’re faced with a table of mannequin faces, try taking a look at their hands.

People might wear shades or pull their hats down low, hiding their eyes, but their hands are always on the table for you to see. At the poker table out for trembling hands-they’re usually a sign of a good hand. I first noticed this early on in myself-it was after I’d won a huge pot and I was scooping up my newly won chips. As I raked in my winnings, I saw that my hands were shaking like I had a gun to my head.

Hand shaking is involuntary, so it’s usually a great tell. When someone reaches for their poker chips, look for a little shake. If there’s a tremble, it might be a good idea to sit that one out.

It’s one of the most painful things that can happen to a poker player. You flop a set of queens and get all your opponents chips in the middle with his flopped set of tens. You think you’re sitting pretty until the only ten left in the deck falls on the river to give your opponent the best hand via a “one-outer.” Your pokerchips are pushed in front of the other player and you’re left wondering what happened. You had the best hand pre-flop, and the best hand after the flop. To lose in this situation is hard for most players to take and often after a situation like this a player will go “on tilt.” Generally a player “on tilt” or “steaming” will lose some common sense and begin to play more recklessly, letting their emotions affect their decisions at the table.

The easiest way to combat tilt, when it can’t be avoided, is to calmly reevaluate the hand. Almost every time that situation comes up, you’re going to be on the winning end, but odds say that there will be times you’ll lose even when you’re a huge favorite. You have to take the beat and know that you can bounce back. If you feel you are too steamed to play your best game, sit out for a few hands until you’ve cooled off. You might save yourself from making a big mistake later on in the game. That’s just how poker works.
