When Do You Look at Your Cards?

Fratchen · Feb 8, 2017

In live tournaments I would always look at my cards when it is my turn.

but if u see your cards in your turn, all of they can watch you.

i try to look at the villans that act ahead of me

I look at mine right away but when im alert I try to watch others look at theirs to try to pick up on reads.

When do you look at your cards?

in the beginning I watch the reaction of the players after watching their cards.

The time to look at your cards is the time when you gain maximum advantage or edge from looking at them at that time. As discussed, players miss out on a whole load of information by immediately diving to look at their own cards as soon as they are dealt. use this time to watch those people that do exactly that and give yourself an even bigger edge!

online poker and live poker are two big differences, there comes to the self-control plan and the discipline of its nervous emotion, behavior.

Their cards always have time to look. It is better to study the reaction of competitors. The knowledge of human psychology in poker is very important

usually wait until its my time, very rarely i will mix it up and look in the bb i will look

Wait for your turn. I try to make eye contact so people know I have not seen my cards, just a personal opinion it helps eliminates the limp, and bluff.

I watch first my teammates and then I look at my cards. I do not wait until my turn.

Don't you think that slows the game? Are people happy about that? I always think about doing that but it kinda feels it is not fair to others.

Mahsa dMo · Mar 19, 2017

Personally I look at them when I get them. I know it is not recommended but I just do it because I don't think I get any valuable info by looking at the others. Physical tells are sooooo subjective.

Have you gotten any comments about that? Like people being unhappy or thinking that you are stalling or slowing down the game?

leshausa03 · Mar 19, 2017

Probably more correct to wait, but I don't have enough patience for it )

CullinanPoker · Mar 19, 2017

I look immediately once both cards are dealt, its a good point that you miss player reactions.. id rather that than have the table staring me down.

Jam_V92 · Mar 20, 2017

I see them immediately and then I do not touch them again, you have to have a good memory!

parks124 · Mar 20, 2017

I look at my cards right away. I like to have as much time as I can to look at my cards and make my decisions, but I think I'll try it your way to see if I get any benefits from that.

Ham101 · Mar 20, 2017

I've alway heard to watch your opponents look first. Never thought much more about it. Some interesting thoughts on this thread though!
I will definitely start to switch things up a bit more depending on who I'm I against.

Ametist17 · Mar 20, 2017

I look at the cards, right after distribution. And then during the game I watch actions, other players!

Why would they? It only takes max 5 seconds to look at your cards.

Besides you don't give away any information before it's your turn, so yeah I would wait till it's my turn as well.

GRANDPAPA929 · Mar 20, 2017

Wait.
What's the hurry?
The reaction on his opponent's cards and the speed of his actions tells a lot.
Am I right?

SlavaUa · Mar 21, 2017

I think first you need to see emotion of you opponents and you cards will wait you))
