Online Tells-?!?!?
I ran into an article the topic, and it interested me. So I did a search of the forums here and found no discussion on the topic. ( I may have missed it) If I please direct me towards the post and or bring it up again, as this is something that I feel does play a part into "reading" someone. ( Ok not so much part but most of it )
Below are the results of a survey from online players. They are listed in order to they came in. Players where given the 5 options and where to choose 3.
- 1 - Automatic play – a lazy approach to the auto buttons lets a player slip into a set pattern of play – a break in that pattern is a clear tell
2 - Slowness to respond – a pause followed by a check can often indicate weakness, a delay followed by a raise often indicates a strong hand
3 - Quickness to respond – a very fast check can often indicate a weak hand, quick bets on the turn or the river can often indicate a strong hand.
4 - Chat panel - talk gives clues, silent types often play hard, holding good hands when they raise; chatty, friendly players tend to be looser.
5 - Player's names - screen names like 'The Gambler' and 'Mad Dog' tend to be loose and aggressive while players with names such as 'The Rock' tend to be tighter players.
I am trying to think of some more but can not off the top of my head.
