Online Giveaways and Tells 

Picking up tells online is not as easy as in a live game. Players can only give away physical signs online. Oversize bets are usually a sign of a bluff late in a hand.

The most common online tell is the pregnant pause. This will often occur when a player has a big hand and they want to appear as if they’re having a hard time deciding what to do next.

Many players like to make a small bet in early position to control the betting and get the next card cheap. This move is usually a player on a draw, and if you think you have the lead you should raise this player up. Don’t let them get what they want, a cheap card, without paying a price for it.

And the old all-in bet followed by a message saying “they have to leave the game”, is a ploy that’s usually followed by pocket Aces.
