Royal Flush Poker

When looking at this aspect of the game at Ladbrokes Poker, I do not mean literally telling your opponent what they wish to hear of course, rather, dropping false hints through your own play in order to help them make the wrong choice.

Often you will find that players make raises for the purpose of gaining information about the hand they are up against, this gives you the chance to throw your opponent off the right track. If for instance you have a strong hand which you are certain is in front, you can sit there thinking for some time before calling. This shows uncertainty and weakness when in fact your hand is strong. You should not look to hint at the opposite of the truth in this way every time of course, or players catch on to what you are doing.

As well as telling your poker opponent what they want to hear when in fact the opposite is true, you can in fact play in such a way as to achieve the opposite effect. On certain flops, players will look to put out a bet just to get a feel for whether you have connected, and with the hope that they might win the pot uncontested. Regardless of what cards you have, you can choose to put out a reraise sometimes, hinting falsely that you have connected, and telling them what they do not wish to hear.

As with any tactical play you make, remember not to do it too often. Keep mixing your play up so that your opponent remains off balance, and unsure of where your hand is during any given moment.
