Using Deception in Poker
If you have ever played poker before
you know that you can obviously see all the players around you since you
play in a circle (unless you’re playing online poker). You just figured
out the most important part of poker. You may be thinking that that’s impossible.
You probably think that the most
important part is the cards; what cards you get how to use them, ECT...
These are very important, you are correct, but it all starts with your
ability to use your body language to your advantage. The cards are going
to be relatively the same for all the players. Luck usually doesn’t factor
in well in poker since everyone has the same chance to get the same cards.
In case luck begins to play a large
role in your game then what can you does? A player always has 4 basic choices;
you can check, bet or call, raise, or fold. If you are not getting good
cards you can always fold right? This is not always a good idea. You may
be leaving large amounts of money on the table in the long run after a
few initial folds. Sure you seemingly get away with losing less but you
give up the chance to even try. Bluffing is the art of misguidance. You
want them to think you have a bad hand one second and the next a great
hand with all the best cards that are sure to win you the pot.
How do you accomplish such a thing?
Simply with your body language this can be done. If you have good cards
act happy. You may not want them to know that you have good cards but it’s
a way to change there thinking; now every time you act "happy" they will
think you have good cards and may fold. If you have bad cards and you act
happy they might fold because now they are afraid.
What you want to do is create a complicated
pattern of sad, happy, indifferent, ecstatic, angry, ECT. Actions for certain
hands. You want to throw them off but try and lure them into a safe zone
where they think they understand your bluffing pattern and then hit them
with the reality. As long as they are trying to keep up with whatever pattern
you have, you will have them all under your control.
In one game of poker tournament I
was playing in I decided to create very complex poker faces. They where
not good they where not bad. I scrunched my face, grabbed my lip and scratched
my leg; I did the craziest thing that nobody understood. They had no idea
what my faces meant so they assumed that when I didn’t raise that my cards
where not good and they would raise and raise. When it came time to show,
guess who took home the pot.
The moral of this little story is
that you have to be creative. This is step two of poker (after learning
the basics and learning them by heart), body language is very important.
If you are known as a newbie and you come in they will expect you to show
your cards loud and clear through your body language. You can mislead and
kill your competition with a good poker face. copyright (c) George Christodoulou
