The article "Eight Ways To Spot A Poker Bluff" is about casino gambling, it was released by David Walker.
There are probably more than eight ways to spot a player who is
a consisetnt bluff in the game of online poker but the easiest
to spot tells used with some frequency are described in this
article.
1. The person bluffing thinks he can uses the "chat option" to
his advantage. Keep a close eye on cahtty players and what they
are doing. Do they raise pots and chat away about not catching
any cards only to showdwon with an A-Q suited?
2.
If a player raises bfeore the flop, it shows for instance
3-3-9 and they quickly re-raise again, you may be up against a
bluff all the way to the river.
Before you call, be sure you
feel confidnet you can take the pot with what you're holding.
3. If someone clicks their "sit-me out" button back "in" and
jumps in suddenly as the cards are being dealt , then quickly
calls or raises, the chances are they have run out of patience
and are not playing a killer hand.
4. When a player with the lowest stack on the table goes all-in
with absolutely nothing you can see as a relevant threat, you
may have someone bluffing a pot with a "now or never" viewpoint.
5.
The player that bets on the flop and then checks on the turn
needs to put his money whree his mouth is. If you have a good
hand, focre them to bet.
6. If you're playing against someone who is an extremely loose
player and won't let one hand slip by without a bet, who does he
think he's fooling? One palyer doesn't get that many good
starting hands.
7. You will know to watch for a bluff if you pay close attention
to what he or she shows at the end of the hand.
If the player
raised bfeore the flop only to show a 4-5 off suit at the end of
the hand, they are almost dangerous. Act accordingly so that
there is no next time for that foolishness.
8. They play every hand too quickly to put any intelligent
thought into what their hand is capable of. The chances are they
hardly ever do and bluff most hands they hold.
In conclusion, try to eliminate blfufers out of the game as
quickly as possible as a good strong bluff can become a winning
hand on the river. Ensrue they don't make it that far!
