Being unpredictable

[dimonstration]

Is there a way that you can ensure being difficult to predict at Poker? For example, if you never bluff, people will eventually get to known that and it will reduce your ability to profit from good  cards? Anyone there knows techniques or trick to avoid being easy to read?

Using the bluffing strategy may only work well if some of our opponents are beginners, because the purpose of this strategy is to knock down the opponent's mentality and when their mentality falls they will surrender/close the card. So I suggest not using the bluffing strategy for all opponents because this trick is very easy for opponents to guess because almost all poker players use this trick very often.

Bluffing is only applicable when we play personally face to face but online it will not work that much. Only a few were able to succeed in bluffing in actual so what mores in online. It takes skills to win poker since even our cards were quite good but we didn't do strategize to play it we will not win at all.

When it comes to poker games it's a bit tricky. Developing technique to remain unpredictable requires consistent practice and gambling all most all the time. You just have to practice to be good at what you do and also do them well enough to secure your winnings m

Becoming unpredictable is not as difficult, I just posted a way to do this that is relatively easy to implement, it is just that most people are not good enough to be able to do this, after all poker is a game not only of math but also of patience, and while becoming unpredictable could help your game at the same time most people do not have even the basics covered and instead should concentrate on improving their abilities to read their opponents and the strength of their own game.

You can only bluff through emotes or chat words which can provoke your opponent and that is if you do it online, but it has no effect.
Skills and strategies in playing poker are needed and can read attitude and time when adding bets.
when the cards are good will play time by stretching them while taking turns adding bets, and if not good will be fast when adding bets.
and both are just tricks to make it look otherwise.

There are actually forms of bluff that can also be applied in online poker thru the actions at the deck or just even by the way a player is betting their chips. Not as effective as applying at the actual table but can still add some spices to the usual strategy when playing in online poker.

That's why you can see gamblers having a good run playing online poker. It means they are also doing some bluff actions aside from their already-knowledge skills.

or they can be lucky and have many good hands, a lot of possibilities

but yes, is common sense now that poker is a game that is way more based on skill than pure luck.

Are you sure these tricks are relevant for online poker? Any professional or regular poker player plays multiple tables and doesn't have the time or attention to keep up with such little things. Maybe this is possible in some kind of tournament when players concentrate their attention at one table, but it still looks doubtful.

[Betwrong]

totally agree with betwrong here

the concept of being impredictabe to yourself starts weird from point 0, imo

and Poker has a lot to do with skill so this information about many being 1st on online AND irl is really interesting

I think to test our theories on this matter in practice we need a poker tournament, something similar to Bitcointalk Poker Series we used to have. It's much better for the research than playing with random people because we can share screenshots of what we really had in this or that case here on bitcointalk. I myself played all of those games, and it has helped me a lot in improving my skills. Read through the threads dedicated to the Series, and you'll see that it was more about having fun and testing theories together than winning money.

I hope poker sites' owners or representatives might bump into this thread and then consider offering us a tournament or series with money added to the prize pool by sponsors. If this doesn't happen, we can think of something else.

definitely one of the best suggestions on this thread so far!
amazing idea!

but what is the best poker game on place that would have the structure for a crypto self-organized tournament?

I personally admit that this strategy can still work in online poker too because after all, bluffs made in online and offline poker will certainly work and not, because there are only two possibilities. Anyway, when the opponent doesn't have good self-confidence then of course it will be easy for success about bluffing strategy and vice versa. So in this strategy, whether the result is successful or not depends on the opponent being faced, so the point is that we must know who the opponent we are facing is, because if the opponent we are facing is a pro gambler then of course a bluffing strategy does not guarantee success.

The actual and online form can be different but I find bluffing more effective in actual table but not in online.

I think I've done some bluffing through online poker through chat and sending some icons to the other guy on the table but that's when the popularity of poker on facebook was still there, it's still playable today.

The only way to bluff online is to avoid creating a game pattern.
For the rest, everything that is done has little value: phrases, smiles, etc...
By the way, many who in real poker were able to bluff online can be experts. But, there it is, they can only deceive novices. And even then it's hard, because even the novice can ignore these things.

It is true that bluffing is a difficult skill to master especially online as you do not get the full context of what is happening unlike when you can see your opponent, however I suppose the professional with enough practice will be able to keep track of each table at a very fast pace, after all it is known that the more you do something the better you become at it, so even if at the beginning they are not able to do this then eventually they will master it and play several tables as if they were playing just one.

This is a new challenge in a new space. A set of variables can make part of a strategy but your feelings, intuition and capacity to face a match and loose it is the main requirement even if you are online. When you can't loose you are an opened book! You're vulnerable despite you're behind a screen. So, try to use communication signals without a pattern. Uses time in your favor. Don't let others build a betting behavior of you. Be unstable as much as possible. Change everything all the time. Gamblers try to read you as a human but in the vrtual world you can be whatever you want!

Different people prefer different games, and there are those who love several poker games equally, but I personally, after playing all of them, have decided to focus on NL Texas Hold'em solely. I love this game so much that I can't fully enjoy playing other games. But that's me. I'm not saying(not even thinking) everyone should love what I love.

So, I will be happy if another game will be sponsored. I will be happy for those who love that game, but I myself will rather not participate.

NL Texas Hold'em forever!

Taking into account the fact that all professional online poker players play with special software that shows statistics on opponents, we can say that they have the information necessary to bluff. But I do not consider this a bluff, since this is working with statistics and not emotions - if you know that your opponent folds his hand in certain situations, then of course you will strive to make such a situation, but this is not a bluff in the classical sense of the word.

I agree, there are many variations of poker and every single one has its merits and can be enjoyable to play but there is no doubt the most popular and the most exciting is NL Texas Hold'em even the limit and the pot limit variations pale in comparison and this is because thanks to the community cards someone is bound to get something more often than not and even if you are not participant of the hand that is being played it is very exciting to see the mountains of chips moving from one side of the table to the other creating excitement that no poker variation can match.

In the world of poker game, I'm really lost and had no idea about how the game is been played, what discourages me in addition Is because, poker gambling platform usually stops their campaign on their forum because most of the outcome of campaign ran usually go poor, so I have that instinct believe in me that poker games don't interesting.

There's a high probability of that that it's only for the time being. I personally have confidence in that NL Texas Hold'em, my favorite game, and also other poker games will flourish in the crypto space in the future, and that's when patience of the current not so successful crypto poker sites will pay off. Right now they are just building up their reputation which will come in handy at the proper time.

As for us, poker admirers, thankfully we already have places where to play sharpening our skills, and where to discuss our theories, like this place for instance.

oh, yes.
I'd bet that most would prefer Texas hold'em
but I was referring for the platform

is there a platform in place to organize tournaments in crypto or even an online poker website or software that we can organize tables and set it up?

simply curious here

I can name two platforms where the recent Bitcointalk Poker Series were played.

One of them is Betnomi, which I personally enjoyed very much, but I must say that some people were complaining about occasional log outs during the game. It was always taking me less than 15 seconds to be back in, so I didn't see a problem there.

Another one is SwCPoker, a smooth and established platform where our gang from Bitcointalk played many tournaments, and we enjoyed it very much.

Also, in 2020, Sportsbet.io were setting up several tournaments with good money added to the prize pool by the owners. They had stopped poker completely on their site since, I believe, last Summer, with the intention of getting some better poker software and come back this year, so, it might be a third option.
