BY Dara O Kearney

 

Bet sizing tells

 

These are the most common and important ones. Good online players will be balanced having a mix of different hand strengths in all their bet sizes, but weaker players often tend to use small bets for one type of hand (monsters or bluffs) and large bets for another.

 

For example, some players use the small size almost exclusively with weaker hands (hoping to bluff cheaply or get cheap showdown with a marginal hand) and a larger size with their strongest hands (hoping to win more when called). Some people do the opposite, betting big as a bluff (to force more folds) and small with value (to get called more often). The problem with both these strategies is that once your opponents figure out the pattern, your bluffs won't get through any more and your value bets won't get called. Be the player picking up on these sizing tells, not the one exhibiting them.

 

How fast are they betting?

 

Fast river bet

 

This is almost always a polarized range. When a player has a marginal hand and in particular when the river card changes the strength of a lot of hands, players tend to have to take at least a few seconds to decide whether to check or bet, and what size to use. By contrast, a player with the stone cold nuts or a stone cold bluff doesn't need to think as long. On river cards that significantly change the board such as cards that bring in straights, flushes or pair the board, fast river bets are even more likely to be bluffs, as monsters usually have to spend a little time considering what size to now use.

 

Fast turn bets in orphan pots

 

An orphan pot is a multiway pot in which nobody shows much interest on the flop or turn. These are obviously good pots to attack, but be careful not to bet the turn too quickly when the flop checks through. A quick turn bet after the flop checks through is much more likely to be a bluff from a player hoping to pick up an orphan pot than a value bet (it usually takes at least a few seconds to consider whether betting or checking is best, and what size to use).

 

Fast opens preflop

 

Usually non marginal hands weighted towards big Ax and pairs. Most players know they are going to open strong hands and pairs, but have to think whether to open weaker hands.

 

Fast raises postflop

 

Usually a strong made hand the player knows without thinking is a raise. Draws usually need some time to think about raising or calling, and weaker made hands to think about bluff raising or folding.

 

Fast calls postflop

 

Usually a draw. Made hands have to at least consider raising or folding, but many players just call with all draws so as soon as they see they have a draw they click Call.

 

Instacheck

 

Almost always weak, indicating the player has given up on the hand.

 

Slow check

 

As a general rule, fast actions are much more significant and likely to be a tell than slow bets (which may simply be the result of a slow connection, or the player playing too many tables). That said, a lot of weaker players have a tendency to check slowly with a weak marginal hand that they don't want to give up on but don't want to face a big bet with. This is essentially an act strong when weak tell similar to that you often see live: a player checks slowly hoping to make it appear they were considering betting, to dissuade their opponent from doing so. Slow calls fall into the same category (hoping to discourage further betting).

 

Slow check quick check raise

 

This is an important exception to the previous tell. In this case the quick check raise is more significant than the slow check. indicating a monster.

 

Slow bets or raises

 

These are essentially the opposite of 8 above: a monster where the player is trying to act weak by acting slowly as if unsure what to do. A long tank into the timebank followed by an all-in is almost never a bluff.

Hey ya

Today i played only few HexaPro...

I tried to get 50€ uos and Milky way ticket....

UOS was about 20th place 11got TIX...

In milky i was bubbleboy....it happens...

But what happened next is weird/awesome at the same time....

5€ 2k Galaxy

At early stage i was running sunrun....

Middle stage i just was there...

At bubble i had 9bb jammed my QQ...flom button...BB found KK and called...

First thought was not again bubbleboy...but no flopped quads and life went on...

So....right now i am at 5/14 and on top waits 453€...

First mark is to FT it...

And I have to keep in mind play card that u have....no bluff...(make no promises)
