Very good thoughts. But I don't believe in all of them. Know thats my opion. Been playing poker for the last 40 plus years and playing on line over 2 years. Usually play 3 -4 games at once and sometimes I depend on luck but most of the times I can figure out what is going on by keeping notes of the other playes. That I found is the best way to play on line. When playing live you can read the tells, on line they have tells also but they are diverant. For instance, the way your betting can tell me a lot about your hand, the other night playing NL, pocket Q,10os called the flop 6,3,9 player bet 2x pot,I called, flop A, player beat 1x pot,"Question: Why did he lower his bet?" To trap me, afraid of the A, etc. I called, the turn A. player bet 1x pot, I called. Player mucked his hand. His tell was reducing his bet when the A flopped. He should have increase his bet, thus telling me that he hit A. There are many more tells that I have found about players on line and thats why I love the game. Trying to figure out what are they up to. So to repeat myself play the game but keep notes.
