Online Tells

Playing on the internet is different from playing live. Perhaps the biggest difference is in the area of tells. In a live game, you can watch a player's face, how they put in their chips, or have them count down their all in bet. Online, you cannot do this. But, there are other tells to watch for.

Generally speaking, your opponents will often try to appear strong with a weak hand, and conversely, act weak when they have flopped the top hand. However, on the internet, most tells relate to the speed at which an opponent bets.

For example, a delay and then a check usually indicates weakness.

Most online games allow you to bet instantaneously(ie: raise any). This is usually a sign of strength.
