While Poker is basically a game of chance, you're probably aware that there is still a lot of skill and strategy involved for the purpose of controlling the outcome. While the outcome can never be 100% controlled, it is possible to alter it a bit. If you find yourself losing online Poker games time and time again, maybe you should try some of the following suggestions.
Don't go in a game playing too aggressively. It's not uncommon for players to play too loosely during the first round or two of an online Poker tournament. Even if you have the best hand in the world, you should still play somewhat tightly. If you have a bad hand, go ahead and fold. Trying to go all out with a bad hand is looked down upon by many pro's.
At the same time, however, you shouldn't under bet either. If you have a great hand and you're participating in a no-limit online Poker room, don't be afraid to raise a little bit. If you're certain you have the best hand, don't shy away from raising a bit pre-flop.
Always know when and when not to fold. If you have a great hand and you think there's a chance it could be the best hand, go ahead and call. If another player keeps raising, it could be nothing more than him/her trying to bluff. If, however, you're not all that confident with your hand, then you may want to consider folding.
If you think it's pretty obvious that you have the best hand, don't allow yourself to become too excited. No, you won't have to worry about other players reading you when playing in an online Poker room, but don't let them think the obvious. Don't go making any outrageous bets. If your hand really is great, then chances are, everyone else's hand is bad, and they might not give in to your constant raising.
