Detecting Bluffs
thenks to (Dead link: http://www.blackjake.net)
While it is understood that playing poker at online casinos makes it harder to determine when players are bluffing. There are signs to look for at online casinos that may let you know if your opponent is bluffing. Casinos online now provide chat rooms where you can talk to players as you play them live. Look for chatty players becoming quite, delays in wagering, time outs and more. These types of behavior are tells - hints players may or may not be giving up voluntarily that will let you know if they are bluffing and more. Even though you can't tell if your opponent is sweating, you can notice other things about there game play that can let you know what you are up against. Be sure that you are able to notice any changes in your opponent's game play and be able to remember theses changes in order to compare them to the hands they end up with. This is a simple but necessary move on your part. When online gambling, be sure to remember how each player bets with and without good hands - this will help you figure out if they are bluffing and more.

The post is just from a shill, but I've actually gambled at... a vast majority of those listed casinos (many are in the same groups), and haven't had problems with any.

English Harbour has a bad rep though, haven't played at them.
