While online and live poker share many traits, there are still differences

The main complaint that live players make about online poker is that there are no tells in the game. They argue that online you can’t stare an opponent down and watch for shaking hands or a pounding chest that gives away a player’s strength.

There are, of course, plenty who don’t subscribe to that particular theory, such as online poker pro ‘Jennifear’. The sit-and-go expert has identified a massive 29 different online ‘tells’ as to the strength or weakness of an opponent’s hand and the type of player that they are. They include things like timing tells, bet sizing and even what a player’s avatar can tell you about them.
