Being unpredictable

[joker_josue]

Whether we like it or not, we all have a style, even with its possible variations. Therefore, we have to train this style, to be able to adapt it to the situations of the table, and in turn not to create clear patterns for the opponents.

Practice is the way to do that so that the opponents won't be able to track your style. It's the way of other players to be unpredictable and it's not just happening within a single timeframe but it takes a lot of time before they master it or at least near perfect it.
From the emotions, their playing style, moves and other noticeable actions that can be seen by the opponents.

Another thing that must not be forgotten is that the player must be able to adapt during the course of a match.
At first you may have a bad (or even apparently good) hand, but as the cards come out, a bad hand can become interesting or stop being a good hand.
So the player has to adapt his strategy. And you have to do this, so that the opponents do not realize if you have a good or bad hand during the match.

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?

If you are born with a poker face that solves your problem but if you are not, you are going to need to practice a lot, there are people who are really good at making or creating a poker face because they dedicated years to have zero emotion and to look naturally at having a poker face, you can do that also if you dedicated yourself to being a poker face.

Yeah right, there are people who have it. they are naturally born having a poker face and it's not a problem to hide their feelings.
It's an advantage since they don't need to practice anything, having this inside you can accumulate more hardship to your opponents.
They needed to check it out it what's your next move.
If you don't have it, you need to practice and keep trying to do your best in order compete with those who have it naturally.

I'm not a pro in playing these poker games,  but I do think that anyone can fake out their emotions when playing to try to mislead the other players. It depends probably on the personality of the player if he can do that. It always won't be easy to predict someone's gameplay if he's making fool of the situation and mislead other players through his reactions/emotions. I somehow can do that sometimes lol.

Faking the emotions in the poker game sometimes is hard because if we meet a pro poker player, they will somehow know if we are fake out or really do not have a good card. I can fake the emotions but that is not for playing poker game because I can not play that game

We can feel confident if we have a good card, but we do not know if the other player has a good card. Playing poker will not just depend on how we can pretend to have a good card, but it also depends on how we can bluff the opponent.

Yup. That's really happening for poker players, they're adapting what's in their hands, good or bad hands, they can work with it. And that depends to the scaring factor that they can bring to their opponents.
Bluffing and sometimes you do, sometimes you're serious. That's a common strategy that everybody does.

Why need tips and tricks if you already know the basics of playing poker?

Just play on your usual, it's much comfortable. And it's not something you are competing with strangers, it's your friends.

Enjoy the game, that's it.

You wouldnt feel the very essence of the game if you are just trying to force out yourself on following into something.I agree that you must
enjoy the game rather than a stressful one because you do persevere to win but well this is the main goal on why we do gambler on which
we do aim to make money but dont forget the very essence that we do really need to enjoy and be comfortable no matter what kind
of method or ways that you are trying to make use.

This must be the first thing, when starting! Play for fun, without the stress of winning or losing.

Therefore, one should start with a low investment or even on free platforms.
To evolve, and then gradually start to risk more, entering more serious games.
But then, you have to be willing to lose. Because in the beginning, it is more likely to lose than to win. Unless you're a genius.

Well playing gambling or even whatever kind of play it is be it card, dice, or casino maybe there have some of the rules that must follow but i will agree in the fact that a player should enjoy the game because one of the reason why you are playing or gambling was to entertain yourself right. Though, tricks and tips can be provided by other people but at the ened of the day its you who will handle it, sometimes those tips and tricks was being forgotten while on game because along the way you learned your own kind of tricks.

One thing to remember as well is that we also need to mix our style depending on the kind of table in which we are, we do not play against computers but other players and the table dynamics are going to be different in each game, if we see a table that is full of loose players that play many hands then tightening our style makes sense as you do not want to to play against those people unless your hand is rock solid, an if the table is composed mostly of tight players then you should adjust and become more loose, this way you can steal the blinds over and over again.

This is sometimes the problem for less experienced players, not being able to adapt their game to the circumstances of the table and their opponents.
To have this ability you have to play a lot, and maybe even lose many times. Play and watch others play.

Whether we like it or not, we all have a style, even with its possible variations. Therefore, we have to train this style, to be able to adapt it to the situations of the table, and in turn not to create clear patterns for the opponents.

I am the first to admit that it took me a lot of time to understand this myself, and for a long time I just played in the same way regardless of who my opponent was, but this does not make sense, if you are playing against a newbie that barely knows the rules of poker then you need to play just solid poker because anything other than that will fly over their head, but when you are playing against a good player that is when you can make use of your arsenal of advanced plays, so as we can see adjusting to the type of opponent that we have is essential if we want to win at poker.

I think that if the opponents in the game often play with each other, then the usual game is rather boring - like playing solitaire. Therefore, applying new tactics or interesting tricks can bring the game to life. In the end, the players get their main emotions not from the result, but from the process of the game.

Sometimes playing with newbies can get more complicated. Since they still have no addictions and, because of their lack of experience, they have a more difficult playing style to play. Able to make plays, meaningless to a professional and take risks in a totally "crazy" situation.

This can sometimes make them win. But it is in this phase of apparent victory, that the experts are able to re-control the table, since the novice, begins to be more predictable and in this way the experts already have a better understanding of what may happen.

Correct, newbies are a pain to read, after all if you are playing against a player you consider good then you can narrow what kind of hands he could have based on his position and betting patterns and this could give hindsight of whether you are ahead or behind at the moment, but when it comes to a newbie this is impossible as they can go all-in with nothing on their hand and just rely on their luck and still beat you that way, which is why when I play against someone I consider a newbie I just concentrate on playing solid poker and grow the pot.

Anyone there knows techniques or trick to avoid being easy to read?

Sometimes in the game of poker theory is not enough, but from experience losing and making changes (practice) can have good results in the future.

You are right, playing poker must have tricks and techniques to see the opponent's card, it is very difficult to explain here, without directly involving in the game.

Sometimes google provides a little description of the practice of doing poker betting tricks and techniques, for that this way: 9 Basic Poker Strategy Tips for Beginners, can add a little knowledge in determining the direction of the game of poker, at least to be better than before.

The most important thing about poker is that we shouldn't change our strategy because we lost one hand, or in one night. It can take a few hundred hands for our strategy to fully show itself. Keeping track of our winnings is very important, a past hand analysis should also be done whenever possible. To remain unpredictable the best idea is to play a large range of hand similar. If we play AK the same way we plat 910 suited than it will be very hard for our opponents to put us on an exact hand.

^ What was the importance of tracking winning? I do not see any relevance in this analysis in order for you to win.
I liked poker games but remember it is always different playing poker in the offline casinos than the online casino, there is no real bluffing in the online casinos. Bluffing is not just easy, you will probably ask a question in yourself first before doing such a bluff, like are you representing a legit hand? or even like what does my opponent think I have? Nevertheless, never show fearful players, let them keep guessing.

When it comes to experience then it is totally different or we can say that it could never be the same in terms of real user experience and essence so theres no point on making out some comparisons.
You cant apply those gestures and emotions when you do play online so there no point with that.I can say that it is a bit hard to deal up with opponents online
because you dont know neither they do have good hands or bad but eventually you can really spot out some behavior.

And them as newbies, they have the beginners luck but it's up to the people if they'll be believing on it. But as per experience, they really are lucky with their first turns and experience to play.

This can sometimes make them win. But it is in this phase of apparent victory, that the experts are able to re-control the table, since the novice, begins to be more predictable and in this way the experts already have a better understanding of what may happen.

I remember it when I was a newbie player and played with my relative who's been into this game for a long time, I've got a good hand yet still lose due to his observation on me.

Poker like most things in life requires both, you need to have some theoretic knowledge about the game to be able to play it at a good enough level, but after some time your biggest improvements are going to come from putting in practice that knowledge and this is something that can only be achieved by playing, some of those lessons you will learn are going to be incredibly expensive but at least you are never going to forget them due to the cost you will need to pay.
