Time Your Next Poker Move

The great game of poker is steeped in mystery and shrouded in suspense. Online poker players know all too well of the importance of appearance, delays and wagers. But the time factor is arguably one of the most telling components of a player's ‘hand'. How much time should you take between making decisions?

Online Poker Secrets
When you need to resolve a close decision in poker - you will often find yourself hesitating for only a fraction. But in this time, other players may be able to gain the upper-hand on you and call you out.

It's all about time - just a fraction of a second more or less and things could go either way. Your opponents will soon be able to tell - if they're smart and good at reading ‘the signs' even in online poker play, that you have a difficult decision.

It's always noticed on final bets. That's when say you're gaming with a big hand in poker and if your bet takes a fraction longer than expected - you will be called out. But it's all about the timing isn't it? If you are always first to bet, regardless of your hand, you will soon be called too. Likewise if you take too much time to place your bet.


Our Poker Tip
Always keep your eye on the prize and do so with confidence. Whatever you're holding, keep it to yourself. But the outside tells like time taken are dead giveaways - so be consistent, stone-faced and confident in your decision making.
