In this article with poker tricks we do not mean the prestige tricks with poker cards or chips but methods and strategies, legitimate of course, to win at online poker, although in reality many of the tips you will read here they are equally valid for live poker.
First of all, consider that to win in poker there are no spells and even less cheating numbers
Not live, in casinos or in more or less prestigious tournaments where you are constantly observed and where you will never be able to shuffle the cards (the dealer will do it) or even remove your personal cards from the table. So forget the ace in the hole.
And there aren’t even in online poker where the poker rooms constantly monitor the games and immediately notice if someone uses some illicit software that can see the cards of the opponents or play the games automatically.
However, this does not mean that there are no tricks in online poker, some even dishonest and that we list here just to make you avoid being a victim. Do not use them because it would be dishonest of you, and secondly because there is a good chance of getting caught by the poker room staff or other players and being banned, and rightfully so, for life by the judi online poker room.
Some of the scams used online, defined as collusion are:
Signaling
What probably many will have done without even thinking about it too much. Basically it is about communicating with a friend sitting at the same table and telling each other what cards you have, of course not with the public chat of the poker room but via Skype, Whatsapp, Facebook or other similar services.
This will give you an advantage by knowing two more cards
Dumping. Unlike signaling where it is difficult to catch the two, here it is easier to discover them because practically a player, perhaps in particular phases of a tournament, decides to lose all or part of his stack to his friend to form a single, more competitive stack.
Whipsaving
Even this form of scam is not very discreet because it involves creating a lot of fictitious action to discourage other players from entering the pot.
Softplay
Here it is about, always playing with a friend at the table, to be friendly with each other and not play against each other.
As you may have understood these few tricks for online poker (which you can also read about here) are not very effective first of all because they do not guarantee absolutely no winnings, and secondly because they are unethical as well as easily unmasked.
And do not think now of software that allows you to see the cards of the opponents or give you other illegitimate advantages because even if they existed they would be detected by the poker rooms that work daily to counter them.
Last Words
Some software that is lawful and publicly accepted by poker rooms exists, and we will talk about it from now on, in which we will talk about honest and therefore recommended methods. Now you are probably wondering how to win in poker without using tricks and the answer may seem trivial: get stronger.
