While this is generally true, Darren and Hilary have both spotted a few tricks that, if nothing else, attempt to compensate for the lack of physical clues: * Slow bets: While the hands tend to be played more quickly online, some players will take the full amount of time to place a bet no matter what. When Hilary found herself playing against such laggards she often bailed on the hand. Darren says he's occasionally guilty of such stalling: If he has a good hand and he wants to lure other people into betting more money, he'll bet slowly to make it seem like his hand is weaker than it is. * Extremely fast bets: These are often used to project confidence. Darren says he'll bet quickly on less-than-stellar hands to make it seem like his hand is better than it is. * Odd betting amounts: Betting an odd dollar amount can require the use of several different colors of chips. Darren says he thinks people use this trick to make their bets appear bigger. [/ QUOTE ] Heh heh heh. |

Hilary says she's about broken even, while Darren says he's lost all of the money he's wagered so far. But he considers it money well spent. [/ QUOTE ] The best part is that these champs are giving the expert advice! LOL |

Re: 264% growth according to this new moneycentral article
Darren is explaining how he bets slow when he has a strong hand to entice other players to call. He then says he bets fast when he has a weak hand to project confidence. However, he already said that he has lost everything he has put online to play poker. So why does he think we should listen to how he plays his hands, unless it is a "here's what I do, so do the opposite" kind of lesson. LMAO, what a clown.

I hate when articles cannot even get basic facts correct. What an awful, uninformed article.
