Tricking Your Opponent in Online Poker
One of the greatest challenges when playing online poker tournaments is learning how to create a profile for yourself that befuddles your opponents. Sometimes, even when you know it's going to cost you a couple of chips it can pay in the long haul to make a few suspicious plays visible to your opponents.
Forethought should always be taken however, because your adversaries in the early stages of the tournaments are willing to adventure far more than you would expect. However, once you hit the middle stages and your opponents skill level becomes more obvious, mixing up your hole cards and betting action can pay huge dividends when the opportunity shows itself.
Your goal here is create disarray in your opponents and that may take some experience to do correctly and cheaply. It's not precisely an simple thing to do, but with some practice and commitment to your game you can start to make some good reads - even online.
Just be sure that when you play in pots with weaker hands you exercise prudent judgment with your chips. Other skillful players will be patiently anticipating for your errors if you lack emotional or pot size control, and they forever put you in difficult situations.
Emotional control and judgement will pave the way for improved play on your part - something you must do to quash being played against by clever sharks. For long term profit in tournaments, a lack of control will cost you money.
This is a scheme I often use when starting a poker tournament. Take a connector hand or two, and be intent on raising with them whenever you get them dealt to you during the tournament.. Now you still have to pick your spots and re-raising isn't recommended but try and be the attacker with such hands and you will be very amazed at how many pots you take uncontested. It really doesn't matter which hands you pick but try and choose ones that have flush or straight potential.
