  1. Busting The Top Four Online Poker Myths When it comes to online games, especially games such as Poker, one of the most common myths that you are bound to come across happens to be the insipid belief that it's all due to luck. Nothing could be further from the truth, since as a player, you must be skilled to last long in this game. Granted there are more than a few players who tend to imagine that they happen to be real poker professionals. And they would tell you that it's all due to their talent, mathematical abilities, and their skills in calculating the odds for each game. You may also want to check out some of the other common myths, posted below. ● Poker platforms are rigged: Again, this is yet another common myth among poker, 3Patti players, and others. These online games are rarely rigged, if at all. Think about it - if the platform were to be rigged so that only the house always wins - the same would show up easily when the database is analyzed, later on. Just to point out, reliable gaming platforms often analyze their data, crunch numbers regularly,

  2. and post the information online. In short, it would make no sense for any platform to rig the game so that the house always wins each hand. So before playing any hand, you would be well advised to calculate your odds and streamline your gaming strategy accordingly. ● Skill matters: When it comes to a poker game, someone always wins a hand, while others lose. That’s how it is played and if you are grumbling about how one particular player always seems to win just about every hand, you need to rethink. The reason why one player almost wins each hand is primarily due to his skills and his gaming strategies. It is not because the platform is rigged for the same person to win each hand. It is just not possible but wholly improbable as well. Keep in mind that the odds are heavily stacked up against one person winning each round; that’s probably because the others at that table were not able to match his skill or his abilities to play Poker.

  3. ● Bluffing is essential: Assume you are playing a hand at the moment, and the poker sequence you have been dealt with is horrible. What are your options here? To fold or to bluff it out? Most professionals would tell you to bluff and on the whole, bluffing is an important gaming strategy. But, it should not be considered as the only strategy to be utilized as it would end up having the opposite result. Overplaying your hand, bluffing way too often can empty your account faster than folding. When it comes to bluffing midplay, you better have a reason and use it sparingly.

  4. ● Reading your opponents is a must: This is one of the never-ending myths that you are bound to come across in most gaming forums online. Granted sitting across the other players in real cash games, and seeing the emotions flit across their faces, as they adjust their strategies should give you a clue. But that’s a big ‘if’, and only if you happen to be great at reading facial expressions. But when it comes to online poker, you will not be able to read the other players, but the platform more than makes up for it with various online tools. These online tools - from keeping track of your plays, to your hand combinations and checking out your odds - should enable you to streamline your winning strategy.

  5. These are some of the common poker myths; just keep in mind that it all comes down to your skill and abilities to play this game - no more, no less.
