Psychology in online poker

[gravii2011]

Do you think psychology can help you in online poker? Or can it only help offline?

 

[June4Spades]

Sure, especially when it comes to taking risks. There are findings that people tend to be less risky when they have something to loose than when they could win something. They tend to play passive then. But passivity can be your decline ...

I think it can be of great benefit. It can help you tilt less, focus more, and help you play against different opponents.

I believe that offline plays a more important role than online, because offline the part of trying to read and not be read by the opponent is more present...

When you've been playing a little longer, you notice certain behaviors in the opposing players. It's also interesting that you can provoke some players with certain moves. This in turn can tempt the opponent to make the wrong decisions. Therefore, I think that the knowledge of psychology can be quite helpful in online poker.

I think it can definitely help online I’ve been provoked in to making very bad decisions on several occasions. I’ve played a lot offline over the years and never get as frustrated as I get online.

Psychology can be helpful in online poker by getting better reads on your opponents and also to help you to control yourself better. Psychology can help you avoid tilt and gain better control over your emotions so you don't let your anger or frustration affect your decisions.

Wherever you show your abilities, there is a psychological factor everywhere.

Psychology may help you prevent tilt and regulate your emotions so they don't effect your choices.

Could you be a little more specific? Psycology can mean many different things, when it comes to poker, like tilt management, understanding table dynamics and so on and so forth.

Psychology may help you to identify risky player or safe one.

I cant lie to myself that it is funny to seat 5 hours on 1 place to win something.

No, I think that in online poker, knowledge of psychology can do little to help.
Poker mathematics mainly works in online poker.

 

[greenlarrow]

I think it can help in online poker as well. Because most people do the same things. After analyzing which you can read rivals

 

[tomk7788]

Online poker is 90% psychological and 10% mental.

 

[77ecos]

it works, like seeing patterns of other players but it also covers many other things that help, resistance, patience are part of psychology and more things

 

[heguli82]

Knowing at least your own personal traits helps. You can try to improve harmful ones.

 

[speper]

Yes, you can be pampered, especially in preventing anxiety and tension and staying focused and calm

 

[speper]

Sometimes I change the way I play from passive to aggressive and vice versa

Do you think psychology can help you in online poker? Or can it only help offline?

Yes , i think it can help, becouse there is a lot involving online gaming, and it takes psychology to deal with it all, decision making, risks to take and so on.

 

[NKGB13]

When players like Akkari, Negreanu and Rafa Moraes call it a mind sport it's logical to think that psychology speaks high on results.

For me the pain point is keeping focused for long periods of time. Training my mind for that is key to hang on to the game.

[Maximus1980340]

psychology in poker helps both offline and online poker it depends only on you yourself psycholiga player endurance is the most important thing in poker

 

[IRINA70]

As in any game or interpersonal interaction, everything is based on psychology. And in poker - especially, it doesn't matter if it's offline or online poker. Since there is also an element of bluffing, there is also an intention to confuse and intimidate (in some sense) the opponent.
