As a poker player, one of the most crucial weapons you can posses is, the ability to read other people's tells. A tell is basically a sign given by a player, through this sign you can know how much they like their current hand. For example, if a player stares at the flop with their eyes wide open during a Texas hold'em game of poker, or maybe a player shown disinterest in a hand he is plying, this can tell the other players just how strong the hold which you can use to your advantage. There are players who have "poker faces", and it is very hard to read them for their cards information.

When it comes to online poker games, there are some famous poker sites where they claim that their poker rooms are a haven for players with bad poker faces. The idea they have is the fact that, if your play mates cannot see you, then it is impossible for them to read your tell. This could be true if there are no online poker tells.

In online poker, just like in live poker, there are a number of players who do not show obvious tells. However, it is possible for online players to give out tells. There are some players who will reveal their information through chat sites, but this rarely happens. The best way to read tells in online poker is by taking note of the speed through which other players make their bets and the sizes of their bets. This is information that can give out enough information on their holding; you can capitalize on this information.

In online poker, you can tell a weak holding, if the player is taking too long to call a bet. They take their time to fool their opponents that they have a strong hand, and they are considering whether or not to raise with the hand, they hope that when the opponents see this they will not bet at them again. There is also the player who takes long and after raises, this is a tell for a strong player. There are a few players who bluff after taking a long time to call a bet.

If you notice a player who places fast bets on each street, they mostly have a strong hand. They use this fast bets as a way of intimidating their opponents to call bets quickly without proper thinking, and they hope that this scares you away. This is their way of telling you that they can match up any bet you place, take you time to think whether to continue betting or to stop.

In online poker, the trick is to know the habits of your opponents and any deviation from these habits is usually a tell you can capitalize. There are some good players who bet fast yet, they have a weak hand and some with a big hand may take long to call a bet, you need to know what these behaviors mean in different players.  There are other players who bet the better part of their pot when they have A K in possession, and they miss the flop. Tells like this are worth a fortune and you should be able take note of such tells.
