It may sound overstated but there are actually some very subtle and unreliable tells that a poker player exhibit when playing online. One of it is they take too long for them to respond and adding the downside to this is that if they take too long to react, there might be a big indication that they are playing poorly, or just having a bad internet connection.
  • MANY DISTRACTIONS- In a physical casino or in a physical poker room, in spite of the noise and lights, it is easier for us to focus on the task at hand, especially when it comes to poker, although there are few distractions that might occur but compared to playing at your house, you are exposed to many distractions like your television, your kids, your wife, your partner, your pet, your phone and you are not safe from having bad internet connections that will surely affect your online poker gaming. Distracted from the game that you play is truly a huge blunder or a disadvantage for a lot of players regardless if it is gambling or in sport, and in poker, staying focused throughout the game is vital to a successful game, otherwise, it will ruin their bankroll.

·         TOO FAST- Conventional poker is usually a slow and tactical game but online poker changed this pace to a lot faster and quicker action to fold your cards or flop games. This is due to the auto-features like auto-fold to mention one that is present in online poker sites which means you have to think fast and execute fast to keep up with your opponents or else you would likely lose the game.
