You're never going to make any money playing that way. The point of the game is to get players to give you chips and all in preflop is normally not going to get you called very often. Poker is a mental game and your chips are how you figure your opponents hand out. You make a bet and immediately have to start trying to piece together what your opponent might be calling you with. Does he have a draw, does he have a small pair, does he already have you beat?

Might be time for you to start watching some strategy and visiting the 2+2 forum and learning a little more about the game.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom
I often watch poker videos on YouTube where the player have very good acting to hiding his cards through his flat face. I have seen them being able to win with very bad cards on their hand with a good bluff, all in his chips. So I imagine, and often play poker online, I am very happy if I get a good card and I can't hide it well so just go all in all my chips. So what do you think?, how do other players know when I have good cards when playing online?, Is by check and don't call the bet they know we don't have a good card?, I'm not good at hiding it, sometime when I have double AS, I always all in at the beginning.


When you go all in or don't make a call makes it obvious that you call depends on your cards which will let the other players to find your strategy even while playing online so you need to have certain skills of manipulating the opponents by your move still the poker face is not relevant while playing online that reduces the chance of exposing yourself to some extent.

Depends on how you think you can make a poker face. Bluffing.
There are people who are good at this so maybe you can try it with friends first if they think you are good at keeping your cards a secret and not revealing it through your face.
I know one friend who was good at it and he became a champion in a mini-tournament poker (physical not online). Now, he is trying to get more money through his friends (us) by investing with him so he can join a larger tournament where the stakes are high and so is the prize money.
If you can stay calm when you are holding 2 aces then it's possible that you might put other players in a trap and end it after the flop. Some poker players don't really want to take it long when they are holding strong cards, they don't want to give opportunity to other players to gain a three of a kind of better. (straight or flush) so, it will depend on your strategy too.

There is no way that the other players will know what cards you have because they can't see your reaction.

This is the good reason to play poker online when you don't want to see people's reaction and so as them won't also see your face.

But I think with how you play, they'll see and get you notice if you usually bluff. So, if you're a typical bluffer, they'll remember that as factor and that might be used against you even it's online.

both online and offline poker have their respective advantages and disadvantages. for example, online poker allows people to be able to play poker directly from their devices without the hassle of traveling, minus the fact that they cannot feel the atmosphere of the casino and the emotions of the other players. for offline poker, the advantage is that players can directly face other players and see their emotions and feel the casino vibe directly, the disadvantage is that they need to spend money on snacks, transport, etc.

so the question is which is better? it depends on the gambler, whether they prefer to play online poker or offline poker.

If I'm getting serious like betting a decent amount, I would prefer to play offline or in our local casino as I feel it's more transparent. Not saying that online poker are rigged but between the two, I wouldn't choose online. That means it depends on the amount I would risk, if it's small, like I'm just having fun, then I go with online casino.

Personally, most of my bets goes with sports when we talk about online betting, so I'm also an online better but I choose to limit my bets depending on the kind of game I'm playing.

Well , this is about offline poker or in an online casino , things to understand how an online player plays, sometimes there are paths that one can follow, when the player increases the bet because some do it but have a very good game, others who fold They are because they really show that when there is no good game they have nothing to do, but the players who stay at the end and thus lose money are the ones who are really difficult to read.

When players go all-in it is sometimes something very difficult to determine, normally I never play that with them, but I see that if the others manage to go All-in I would like to see what they have, because if I see wins, it already gives me an indication of that he is a person who shows security with his bets, it is not good to take risks when he increases it , well, they are just things that I have learned over time, I don't know. how valid they are, what I know is pure instinct regarding that type of behavior.

Well you just remove the face factor and literally everyone has the same factors involved in both online and offline, habits. Some people often show it pretty blatantly with no intention of hiding it and from that, you could create a sort of character for that person so that you can preemptively notice what type of cards he has just based on what he does. When he calls, you can say his card is neutral. Raises means his card is somewhat good. That's just the bottom-of-the-barrel description though, some may just be baiting you out.

Each person has their own habits (purposeful or not) so you can't really describe one as a general description for all. They may even showcase some obvious habits so that you'd fall into their trap or something.

Online poker is full of thrash players doing a lot shit decision making because they are hiding from their computer. I’m not professional poker but I preferred playing on actual table compared online because you can guarantee that you play against real players and no thrash players that always doing all-in frequently just to bluff.

You don't have much idea what you're talking about. Nowadays there are few "trash players" as you say, even at the lowest levels, and I would like to find tables full of players going all in just to bluff as it happened 15 years ago.

To address the OP's question, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. In general when playing poker in person the opponents are worse but you need more capital, the games are slower and you have to go there. Online you can play comfortably from home, use statistics programs and although the tables are tougher you can play a much higher number of hands per hour, compensating for the lower winrate.

You will never experience a good poker game online unless you are in a table with players that you play before. Many online poker table has an issue of collusion which I really hate because it’s very hard to verify it online especially if the casino itself is the one who plant this players.

Better in what sense? Poker online is very different than to play poker offline, for example one of the great things of playing poker online is that you can gamble at several different tables at the same time, plus the speed is faster as well, so if you are a good poker player you can make more money online than what you can make offline.

However the advantage of offline poker is that if you can read your opponents due to their body language, then you can more easily avoid dangerous situations or take advantage of your superior hand.

Well, I will still choose to play online poker or any online gambling, its because I started gambling using online casinos so I don't know the feeling or feel of offline or physical casino, it may be a good experience but with my current situation I don't have the time and luxury to go to a physical casino, but of course I'm open to playing in a physical casino in some other time, but for now I choose online casino, aside from its hassle free you can play anytime and anywhere you want, also poker is one of my favorite card casino games, I think card games casino are more efficient because your winnings will depend on your decision and way of thinking, just as you've said in physical casino or poker they could cheat or manipulate the result while in online you can't possibly cheat or the casino itself can't trick you, so Yeah I'm more on online casino than physical one.
