You can analyze what they do when they play against you online. Here are some common things that you will see while playing poker on the internet:

Rant

No on is excused from announcing to the world that they are on a tilt. Be it playing around a poker table or playing online. When you play online, there will be players who complain about the game being rigged, or insult other players, or belittle someone with his words in the chatbox. Ranting paints someone’s forehead that he is on a tilt.

What should you do? Play against them and win.

Chat Revoked

Now think why their chat was revoked. These people might have said something in the past for the room to block their chat privileges. Most likely these online poker players are the kind who will also rant. Therefore, also tilt. You should know what to do to rake in chips from tilting players.

The Gloat

You will encounter players who love to gloat after winning a pot. Most of the time these are weak-tight players, erm losers. It is easy to play with these players since they love to pretend. The gloaters have also a high tendency to go on a tilt.

Rocket Scientist

You will see players who lecture in the chatbox how to play poker. Oh how you will love to see that they are wrong. Players like this are easy targets and often do not last long.

Well, I am going to go through some of the most common reasons why people play poker and why you should get into it. One of the first reasons is the social rewards.  How much fun is it to get together with your buddies for a game of poker?  You can swap smack talk and stories and it is a grand old time.

Another reason is because of the money.  To be perfectly honest, you can earn a lot of money in poker – that is something to think about!

For one thing, although online casinos lack the aspect of face to face surface interaction found in live, bricks and mortar casinos, they are endlessly more convenient.

Online gambling is efficient, there are far less distractions, and you can focus on your favorite game.

Besides that, at many online casinos, you can not only practice your favorite game, you can also play for free while doing so.

Plus, there is a huge variety of games.

And in stark contrast to how things used to be, the security measures in online casinos are as tight as Fort Knox these days.

One thing that you need to think about whenever you are dealing with playing poker is going in knowing that you are either going to win or that you are going to use.  That is a fantastic way to ensure that your emotions do not get the better of you all of the time.

We are going to touch more on why emotional mood swings might happen when you are playing poker in the next blog!

I have to say that I think that T.J Cloutier is definitely one of those players that is incredible.  The way that his mind works and the way that he seems to play poker in general is something that is totally incredible and mind boggling all the way around!  Whether you are looking to learn from this guy or you are looking to play … this guy is absolutely one of the best players in the world. 

He was born and raised in California and while today he lives in Texas, he started playing poker not too long enough and he actually ended up quitting his job in order to play poker follow time.  T.J is actually ranked in the top and he definitely has taken home quite a few bracelets.

He has also written a whole lot of different poker books – so that is something that you should look for!

To be completely honest, I had absolutely no idea who Chris Ferguson was before I started writing for this blog but now?  Well, this guy is definitely a legend in the online poker world and that – well, that is freaking incredible!  Not only has this guy won 5 World Series of Poker bracelets, but he has also won over three million dollars, just by playing poker!  That to me is incredible!

Chris was actually born in LA and he started playing poker super early, which would explain why he knows everything about the game.  One thing that people notice most about Chris is the fact that he kind looks like Jesus – actually, that is his nick name!  He goes by that sometimes and he actually has one of the best poker faces in the world … I know I would never want to face him!

His career is definitely one of the most successful in the world and I have to say that I would love to be Chris Ferguson – all of the time!  So watch out for this guy if you ever get the chance to play him, he knows what he is doing!

Poker97.com‘s Lorro flops the nut full house on a 955 board with his pocket nines… Both the turn and the river are fives to completely neutralise his hand — luckily for him his opponent is a brainless idiot that was in there with treys.

I’m going to the casino tonight hoping the lack of distractions will keep me playing my A-game.

I’ll keep you all posted of my results.

1. Got aces, flop is all diamonds. I have the ace of diamonds. I check, villain bets, I raise, he shoves, I call. He shows king-high flush, I make nut diamonds on the river.

2. Holding QJ spades, flop is 49K rainbow. Check check. Turn is Q spades, giving me pair and flush draw. Out of nothing villain shoves. I call, he shows 10-J os for the straight. I complete the flush on the river.

Ha — lovely! I can’t believe Mr. Hellmuth is backing this suckout-bringing site!
