Playing Poker Like You Know What You Are Doing

The key to being able to grow a bankroll on the poker online site is being able to convince the other players you are a better player than you might be. It all comes down to skill level, and if you are trying to tell the story that you have the nuts, you better be telling the right story or your opponents are going to call your bluff and chew into your chip stack. Here are a few ways to increase your poker playing skill online.

Learning to Bet Like a Professional
Rather than go crazy when your hand is made, the best poker players online like to lie low and strike hard when the opponent looks weak. To do this, you need to be in a hand with a weak player who may have some sort of a hand but is not betting too strong. They may have a decent poker pair or a draw, and they bet until they see that ace hit the board and then they stop betting and check the action to you. Pause, take a deep breath, wait until the timer is just about up and then drop down a huge bet. This will scare off the other player and you scoop a massive stack of chips.

Bluffing Any Chance You Can
Do not be afraid to bluff at the blinds just because you think it is not worth the few chips there. Think about this for a minute, those blinds can eat away at your chip stack, so every time you score those blinds, you don't have to pay up when it is your turn. So if a weak player checks the blind, hold, then raise to push him off his crappy hand. You also gain practice bluffing doing this often.
