Recognize Free Pots
One of the best things about the poker online game is that you don’t need to have the best cards to win. Bluffing is one of the sweetest parts of the game, and it’s what essentially takes the gambling out of the game. If it wasn’t for the deception, poker would just be a game of chance and a dry streak would be the death knell for a poker online player.
Luckily for us, the cards don’t always matter. If you’re going through a dry streak or you just want to bolster your chip stack it can pay to know which pots nobody else wants. Uncontested pots happen more often than many people think, and they are a gold mine if you can sniff them out. More often than not, a flop will miss the entire table at Everest, and the first person at the table to bet will be the one who takes it.
It’s not hard to see a free pot, most players will just check around. If you want to get a jump on stealing it, though, look for low flops, flops without face cards or any straight or draw potential. When you see a flop that looks like it disappointed everybody, take a shot at it, you might be surprised when you rake it in.
