Online Poker The Best Kept Secret in Online PokerMost poker players are not aware of probably the best kept secret in online poker. It is definitely not something you want to tell to other online poker players. So keep this under your hat. Playing poker online you need to acquire every bit of information you can on a player. One of the best ways to gather this information is seeing the cards they play and I am going to tell you exactly how to do this. This information is extremely important. It will tell you what type of player they are. Loose, tight, aggressive, conservative, bluffs a lot or that they like to trap their opponents. Have you watched a hand of poker or been involved in a hand where you wanted to see a players mucked hand? But you don't get the chance because they muck their losing hand. The problem is that most online players have selected to fold (or muck) their losing hand in the options area of the poker software. They don't have to show their cards and you lose out on some important information about that player. Looking at the chat/info screen in the lower section of the table you will also notice the player called the last bet and lost but still did not reveal their cards. Here is the best kept secret in online poker... Next time a player's losing hand is mucked, check the hand history to see their mucked cards! That's right, their mucked cards are revealed in the hand history. Most online poker rooms allow a player to see the mucked cards in the hand history unlike a bricks and mortar casino who would never allow you to check the discarded cards. You can only do this after the hand has finished. When you do see the cards that other players play make an entry in the notes section at your table. Most online poker rooms allow some sort of player note taking feature. This secret will be the single most important tip in playing poker online. Where to find the hand history at Poker Stars
