Essay title: How to Win online Poker

Do NOT Play Poker Online until you learn:

- How to cheat by knowing others' cards

- How to spot cheaters and avoid cheating tables

- How to make a profit from deposit bonuses

- How to win consistently by following the 80/20 rule

- How to cheat by knowing others' cards

It is not possible to know everyone's cards, BUT if you have a friend

at the table,

you can easily share what cards you have by IM or telephone. This

information

gives you an edge against other players. You can also collude with each

other in

order to bet and raise people out of pots, even if you don't have good

cards. For

example, if you are sitting 2 seats before the button and your friend

is sitting on

the button and no one has called in front of you, you can raise 2 bets

and your friend

can 3 bet before the flop. 90% of the time, no one will call and you

will steal the

blinds. If you are sitting across the table from each other, you can

help trap others

in the hand when either player hits a strong hand. For example, say you

flop the nuts.

You are in early position and you bet. If there are callers behind you,

your friend can

raise the pot for you after they call. You can either smooth call or

re-raise to increase

the pot. In order to trap players, you need to have other players

between you. I don't

condone cheating in poker and if you get caught, you will forfeit all

of your money in

your account. The only reason I teach you this is to bring up my next

point.

- How to spot cheaters and avoid cheating tables

With over 50,000 players at the larger poker sites, there are bound to

be friends that

are cheating and it is almost impossible for the poker sites to police.

So you have to

be a smart player and look out for yourself. Fortunately, all cheaters

are out to make

an easy buck so it's not too difficult to spot them. As you learned

above, if you ever

notice 2 players that play hands often together, you should take notice

and report them

to the casino. High stakes limit (10/20 and up) and high stakes no

limit ($400 and up)

are much more likely to have cheaters, so if you play these stakes,

then you should be

extra careful. I would especially avoid high stakes no limit tables

online.

- How to make easy money from deposit bonuses

Poker sites usually offer deposit bonuses of 20-25% about once per

month. This means

if you deposit $100, you get an extra $20-$25 for free as long as you

see the required

number of hands. The number of required hands is usually 6-7 times the

deposit bonus

amount. For example, to earn a deposit bonus of $20, you must see

between 120-140
