The only way to remain unpredictable to some extent is to remain anonymous and online play porker in an online casino only in that way you're physical emotions are not seen. You don't need to Bluff because that will further expose your technique to your opponent and that can be used against you in the process of gambling.
The bluffing technique will always work well if you believe in the cards in your hand, because if you bluff only with the aim of tricking your opponent but at the same time your opponent has a better card, then of course bluffing will only be a blunder. But indeed, sometimes luck will always make you win by bluffing because sometimes your opponent doesn't have the mental strength to fight back. So yes, I'm sure it's basically not easy to predict, only luck and bad luck will bring you wins and losses.

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.

amazing
thank you for the information
didnt know that
but should be obvious that we'd have platforms in place at this point

I'm surprised that more "traditional" ones like idk everest poker didnt implement crypto somehow...

they'll probably do it sooner or later.

It is so, I can give faith about Betnomi, on one occasion in your thread I suggested that they could do the tournament online and they did not doubt it, also that that tournament was very well managed by one of the forum's campaign managers who has a lot of experience and guarantees security in all respects, apart from that I like the initiative of sportsbet.io, this is one of the great companies that are excellent in terms of their platform, responsibility and trust, especially the commitment they have with their players, if they go getting into the online poker tournament initiative I don't want to miss it, this fresh news really gets many of us excited. Is there a particular date for sportsbet.io? Already the third chance is the winner! For sure this year we will see that new software for the total enjoyment of online tournaments.

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.
I think something similar, it is likely that the current platforms that are offering poker rooms and tournaments are not really that profitable at all but they are doing it because they are planning on getting most of the market share once it flourishes, this is a very common tactic when it comes to businesses, businesses are willing to keep a part of their operations open even if it is not profitable right now because they expect it will be profitable in the future.

Exactly. And what are odds of tens of millions of people stopping playing poker all of a sudden? I think it's close to zero. Rather those people will turn to crypro at some point in the future(because everyone eventually does, right? Smiley ), and that's when the established crypto poker platforms will have their time to shine.
If anything I am surprised it has not happened already, after all if I were to guess which is the second most powerful industry besides exchanges in this market I would say the gambling industry would have that spot, it would be interesting if there is some public market research about this as playing poker with cryptocurrencies seems like a perfect match and yet the number of players currently playing is on the low side.

I would have thought there are already poker rooms on a blockchain, although it could be a fee issue as every bet would be a transaction I guess? If you use centralized platforms I'd be damn careful not to get robbed if it's a new platform. Playing on Pokerstars is just fine. You don't have the same anonymity/privacy, but I have never made bad experiences with them.

If every bet is a blockchain record, it will make the game very expensive even for the winner. Because everyone will pay transaction fees that aren't normally cheap.

Most likely that's the main purpose, they are willing to spend some money to host such events,

In hope that in the longer run participants will use their platforms and they will benefits out from it, this kind of business tactics is very common way to attract participants to use the service and along the way once they already familiarize they will use it and bring more
players to play along with them.

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!
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.

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! Smiley

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 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.

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.
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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.
