How do you read poker players?
Filed Under Poker | Leave a Comment
When you want to get serious about playing better poker one indispensable skill you want to develop is being able to read the other players. In the lingo of poker, the “tell” is the player’s reaction to his or her hand. To learn how to recognize the tell you need to carefully observe the body language, gestures or anything else that may clue you in to whether they have a good or a bad hand. Being able to read the tell of the other players can help turn an ordinary night of poker into a winning one.
Here are some common behaviors that indicate a good hand:
Acting uninterested but staying in the game. Most players will try to conceal any excitement when they know they have an excellent hand. Also watch to see if anyone at the table bets with a shaking hand, this too indicates that they have something good in their cards. Another way in which other players betray a great hand is by breathing rapidly. Sighing, shrugging or casually saying “I call” is also an indication of a good hand. When players have a good hand they will also often look quickly at their chips to calculate their bet.

Is poker gambling?
Filed Under Gambling, Poker | Leave a Comment
This is a serious question as it involves the future of one of the most popular card games. Poker may be termed gambling on a superficial level owing to the risks involved and the money it generates. However, there is more to it than meets the eye.
Refined poker strategies, bluffing, other deceptions and flexibility give an edge to a particular player if he follows them by rote. In that sense, fairness pervades over the game. Poker becomes more of an enchanting sport than a gambling option.
However, if that is the case, then why do losers far outweigh winners? This is a question of relative ability and fortitude. No one is going to win all, as in most games. Trick is to win more than the rest.
It doesn’t serve to ask for answers either from seasoned player or rookie. The former is too much in love to term it gambling; latter too high in loss to call it sport.

Filed Under Poker | Leave a Comment
