Takes more knowledge of betting patterns to learn your opponent as that is the only variable you can get from an opponent online.

So i guess it's a matter of learning through observation and expeirence.

A lot of pro players wear sunglasses why do you think they do so?
IMO its all in the eyes. The rolling Roll Eyes happiness  Cheesy
some emotion, just by being a human can not be eradicated.
And this is where cool shades come in to play  Cool.
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.

I was wondering. In online poker you can't see anyone so there is no PokerFace like offline poker. What sort of impact does this make on poker ? Does it make it more difficult or does it make it easier ? I know for people who can't hide that online is better but what about those who are good at keeping a poker face and reading other players faces or body language ?

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 ?

poker face is a concept that is mostly lost to us bitcoin gamblers because we are only gambling online behind out computers so we have to way of telling the bluff, or even bluffing ourselves which in my opinion one of the best parts of playing poker with most fun.

Of course it plays a big role,it helps you not show what cards you were given,you can then trick the other players into thinking whether you have good cards and you can win more hands this way.
