If you have ever watched the World Series of Poker on television, you probably think it is all about reading faces. You see players wearing massive sunglasses, staring each other down, and looking for a nervous twitch. When you play on a digital app, you cannot see your opponents. You are staring at a digital screen playing against anonymous avatars. Because there are no physical tells, the game is entirely about strategy and probabilities. You have to forget what you see on TV. You must rely entirely on strategy. Here is how to beat the online games, teaching you how to exploit the incredibly fast pace of the internet, and how to build your bankroll online.
The most common amateur error is refusing to fold. Because online poker is incredibly fast (dealing up to 100 hands per hour), beginners get easily bored sitting and waiting. They start playing terrible starting hands (like a 10 and a 4) just to feel the adrenaline of the gamble.
The cards are only part of the strategy. Where you sit dictates how you play. The order in which players act is the most critical strategic element in the entire game.
| Table Position | The Math |
|---|---|
| Early Position | If you are the first person to act after the cards are dealt, you are in a terrible strategic position. You have absolutely no idea what the other 8 players at the table are going to do. You must play incredibly tight here, only risking your money with the absolute top 5% of all possible hands. |
| Late Position | This is where professional players make the vast majority of their massive profits. |
Because you are playing digitally, the math is automated. The most common tool is the Heads-Up Display (HUD).
Ultimately, winning at online poker is not a mysterious art form; it is a highly disciplined, massive mathematical grind. You aren’t trying to be a TV star. You are simply waiting for a mathematically superior starting hand, using your table position to extract maximum value, and you play the numbers. If you can completely control your emotions, fold your bad cards, and trust the massive mathematical process, you can become a highly successful digital grinder.
