Switching From Home Based Texas Holdem to Online Texas Holdem
Have you noticed that there are online poker rooms everywhere?
Want to get involved in online texas holdem but don't know where
to start? This article will help you get started with the basics
of online texas holdem.
Online Texas Hold'em has taken the world by storm in the past
few years. In case you've been left behind, we are going to get
you caught up to speed with the world of online texas hold'em
poker. I'm going to assume that you have a working knowledge of
the game of texas holdem and only talk about the differences
between online and offline texas holdem.
There are several major differences between online texas holdem
and the texas holdem you've played for years at your friends
house. First of all, there are no tells in online poker.
Secondly, the software interface is one of the most important
things in online poker. And lastly, you can always find an
online game.
What happened to all of the tells?
There are lots of people that will tell you that there are still
tells in online poker. I don't believe this one bit. They will
say that if someone bets quick or slow, you will be able to get
a feel for their play. Well, what about internet connections? If
someone has a slow connection, they will play intermittently. In
other words, sometimes bet slow and sometimes bet quickly. This
just isn't reliable enough, so there are no tells in online
texas holdem.
