Inside The Poker Mind
Learning how to read your opponent and keep your hand a secret are two of the most important things for an aspiring poker player to master. Keeping your face as expressionless as possible, exuding an air of confidence that you’ve got the best hand even if you have nothing but a high card, and handling the pressure as someone calls your bluff – all vital skills that help to show you’re not just some amateur.
But what about when everyone has the same poker face? Or, more commonly, what if you aren’t playing face to face but you’re having showdowns in online casinos where you can’t see the person and they can’t see you?
Not even a problem for the real pro, it’s still possible to read your opponent even without seeing their face but by assessing how they’re betting. If a player continuously folds every hand when it comes to the flop and starts raising even before you’re done playing the blind, it’s probably safe to assume that the player has a pretty good hand.
But what if it’s a bluff? Well, you’d have to go by their prior behaviour and make assessments based on how they respond to other players seeing their blind or folding. It’s a sign of a talented player when they can deduce if someone is bluffing purely on how they raise.
We’ve got this great animation below that really helps explain what goes on inside a poker player’s head.
This exciting and innovative new show by Winamax gives you an exclusive, first-hand account of what goes through the head of a top pro when millions are at stake. The King of Belgium himself, Davidi Kitai, stars in the first 2 episodes released today.
Of course you have watched big poker tournaments before. Heck, those big final tables you spent hours watching on the TV or your computer are probably the reason you turned into a true poker fanatic (and remain one to this day). Like many people, your fandom might well have turned into serious geekage. You dove wholesale into poker strategy – meaning you bought all the books, read every blog, subscribed to all the Youtube channels, and downloaded all the podcasts you could find. You've been through hand histories, studied ranges, tried to figure out tells and metagame, and listened to the pros explaining the immensity of the gap between a 20-BB stack and a 30-BB stack on the bubble. Been there, done that.
