Poker
is poker, right? The cards are dealt, bets are made and pots are won. A rose is a rose, etc. Well, not exactly. Anyone who
has delved into online poker knows that there are some subtle, yet significant, differences in the way the game is played
in cyberspace. For instance, a faceless, blinking avatar online can give off “tells” much the same way as the live player
trying to hide behind sunglasses and a visor. Like a blind person whose other senses are heightened, the online player learns
to focus on aspects of the game not as noticeable in live casino poker. Betting patterns can be the window into an online
player’s soul. The “chat” box can provide tons of information about what is going on with the players at a table. The ability
to take permanent player's notes on
every player you encounter, and the vast array of statistics automatically kept for each playing session and easily
recalled are just some of the tools available to online players that are not available in a casino. These articles
discuss the aspects of online play that differ from live action, as well as the similarities seen in a new form, and how
to adjust one’s play accordingly.
