ADVANCED POKER TELLS

Have you ever been at a poker table where other poker players stare you down whilst others seem to be staring aimlessly into space? This is an important poker tell to be looking out for so that you can save each valuable personalized poker chip for a poker hand which is worth gambling with.

Basically, the one that is aimlessly staring into space or generally away from the action is the threat. He is trying to appear not to be a threat by doing absolutely nothing to interfere with your thoughts on whether to bet even one personalized poker chip on the poker hand. Always remember that the quiet ones are trying to encourage you to bet by appearing completely uninterested in the pot. It is not worth betting even one personalized poker chip against this sort of opponent.

On the other hand, those that stare you down or look very keen to watch every move you are making, are much less of a threat. These are the sorts of poker players who you can win a personalized poker chip or two from. This is a type of intimidation but equipped with the knowledge we provide you with, you can intimidate this sort of poker player by raising a personalized poker chip or two! If you are very sure about your read on this opponent (you are sure he is acting strong when he is actually very weak), you could try check-raising, allowing him to dictate the action, believing that he has fooled the poker table with his clever bluff!

What about the other poker player, the one who is staring into space? Although not appearing to be much of a threat, you should never bluff against this type of opponent. You should muck your cards and not risk even one personalized poker chip in this scenario. Obviously if you have an immensely powerful poker hand, you could try check-raising but you should only do this if you are very strong after the flop (two pair probably is not good enough for even one personalized poker chip).

Check-raising is a great way to double-up on each personalized poker chip you have gambled. It is heavenly if you check and then the poker player to your immediate left puts in a raise with a personalized poker chip or two. Then you have the advantage of seeing loads of poker players call and increase the size of the personalized poker chip pot.
