Secrets Series - Online Tells 101

edited March 2011 in Poker Chat

Timing

A quick call usually signals a drawing hand, while delayed action signals strength as players calculate their strategy for maximizing chips. Any check-pause-raise is uncommon and should be treated with respect.               

Auto-function

Auto-check is usually a sign of weakness and can be exploited with a bet.

Auto-call any suggests a draw hand that has not completed – again bet.

Auto-raise any represents HUGE strength, exercise extreme caution. 

Chatbox

A quiet chatbox from a chatty player indicates strength, a player typing CALL into the chatbox is often bluffing. A moaning, abusive, tilting player is unable to play good poker, take advantage.
