halloween poker
Halloween is just around the corner and everyone is eagerly anticipating an evening of trick-or-treating. Some people may prefer to leave the tricks for others and instead they’ll take their seats as usual in front of the computer screen for an enjoyable evening of online poker.
But, it can be scary to play online poker, because you never know exactly who your opponents are. When you sit down at a poker table in a casino, or when you take your seat at a friend’s home for a casual evening of poker, at least you can see your opponents in the flesh.
When you play online poker, you see your opponents only as funny-looking avatars, positioned around the virtual poker table. You don’t know if the player with the “superman” nickname is actually a man or a woman, and you don’t even have a clue if that player has anything “super” about him or her.
Playing online poker can be ghoulish, and that’s not only on Halloween. You could be playing against the most professional poker player in the world, and you don’t know this because all you can see of your opponent is his/her online persona. A nickname and an avatar.
How can you protect yourself while playing online poker?
Even though only your nickname is public, your online gaming has a track record. There are websites and tracking programs that know a lot about your playing history, and this information is easily accessed by your opponents.
Titan Poker offers anonymous cash tables, where you can take your seat without fully identifying yourself. Playing at the anonymous tables puts you on an equal footing with your opponents. They know nothing about your poker history, and you know nothing about theirs. Skill and good cards will determine who walks away from the tables with a profit.
To safeguard your bankroll, it’s important to follow the oft-repeated poker advice of sticking to the tables/tournaments that you can afford, and to stop while you’re ahead. Don’t stay at the tables in desperate attempts to turn your downswing around. Sometimes, it’s best to take a break and come back the next day, refreshed and with your mind clear.
don’t be scared to play online poker
Don’t let aggressive players scare you
While playing poker you frequently come up against very loose, aggressive players. These are players who compete in every pot and try to steal the blinds repeatedly with their large bets. If you’re afraid of these antics, you’ll fold and let them control the playing field. But if you show them that you’re not afraid, and match their bets or even re-raise, you may end up scaring them out of the hands. Once these aggressive players know that you’re not easily frightened, they’ll be less likely to make moves against you.
Playing online poker doesn’t have to be a scary hobby. Instead, playing online poker is intended to be fun and completely enjoyable. This Halloween, or whenever you play, don’t let your opponents ghoul you out of the game. Be strong, play your cards right, and you just might end up scaring them!
