So i guess it's a matter of learning through observation and expeirence.
IMO its all in the eyes. The rolling happiness
some emotion, just by being a human can not be eradicated.
And this is where cool shades come in to play .
Online gives those shades to every one so the factor of poker-face is no more.
I think it makes the game a bit harder and soulless but just like Legitpoker said
betting behaviour observations makes a difference.
Yes they wear glass but you can tell by their lip curling or twitching etc. I have learnt that test have been done and it is actually impossible for a human to hide facial expression as it happens naturally as a reflex action, though im sure with time you can learn to fake it but even then.
This question is pretty much for advanced players with at least a few months expierence.
Online poker is very easy for manipulation. When you sit on cash game you never know are people you play against work together or not. Or its just one guy with multiple accounts.
In live poker its much harder to trick people around, its possible but with certain skills and talent. For online poker you just need to know how to make bew mail and account..
Live poker is much better in my opinion, and of course emotions works more when you take cards and chips in your hands, and not stupid mouse.
Hehe we should start our own little group we all put in the same amount and share a % of winnings. Will it work though ? Is it a good idea ?
