When you are playing online poker are there actually tells that you can pick up from other players?When you are playing online poker are there actually tells that you can pick up from other players?

Every online poker room has a set amount of time that players have to make a decision on their hand.

Sometimes you can pick up poker tells by noticing how fast a person responds.

Many online poker rooms have automatic buttons where you can select in advance what you want to do.

Take a look at how much time it takes the other players to make their decision. If you get a chance to see cards at the showdown, see if you can determine what players slow bet with and what they fast bet with.

The next time this could be an online poker tell. These online casino check boxes like fold, raise any, check, or call any can be big clues as to what someone has. You can tell when a player has used a check box, because his action comes very quickly.

Sometimes you can pick up online casino tells by watching people talk. This applies to online poker as well. A player that continually chats at the table can give away poker tells all the time.


If the person suddenly stops talking they may have a very strong hand. If they talk even more they may be bluffing. Stay observant when playing online poker and you will pick up the tells.

What exactly is a poker tell though? A tell is an action by another player that gives you a clue as to what hand he is holding.

In land-based casino poker, where you see the other person face to face, a tell might be the fidgeting, looking strongly at the cards, betting quickly, etc. There are other less obvious tells but they do exist.

You can often observe how tight or aggressive a player is by how many hands they play. This is available at online casinos and land-based casinos. Just noticing how often a person mixes it up gives you an idea of their style of play.


All of these things can be considered poker tells whether they are obvious or not. Whatever you can learn about your opponent tells you something about his future play.

The more you observe the little things, even online, the more you will have an idea of how a person plays. Online poker tells do exist, you just have to be observant enough to see them.
