opponents, removing any and all ability to watch your opponents' reactions and
body language. The new world of playing Poker online brings a new form of Internet
Poker tells in which one watches and analyzes the speed at which an opponent bets.
You don't have to see a player in person to identify a tell. As with traditional Poker,
the concept is still the same - get to know your opponent's playing style and habits,
because every action your opponent makes could potentially give you information
on what kind of cards they are holding.
Although some players will still prefer to play their weekly home game, the past few
years have seen a tremendous jump in the number of online Poker players - millions
of people worldwide now participate in online Poker games and tournaments. The
software and graphics are also becoming more and more sophisticated. With the
popularity of Internet Poker growing each day, the new face of Poker is here to stay.
