Orphaned Pots
How often has a hand been a sad series of folds to the river, only to see a 10-high win the poker en ligne hand? Few things are as unsatisfying as watching a hand go to a high card because nobody bet on the poker online hand. When you and another opponent bet all around, you leave a pot orphaned and are showing some severe weakness in front of the entire table. If you and an opponent are checking around, the pot is just waiting for the first aggressive poker bet. Your opponent may suspect you of bluffing, he might even be certain that you’re bluffing, but without any decent cards, he won’t be able to call your bet.
Of course, it doesn’t always work-sometimes he’ll call or raise you. Once in a while your opponent will be trapping you with a monster hand, but those times are few and far between. More often than not, your opponent has no confidence whatsoever in his hand, and he’s pretty much begging you to buy it so you both can move on to the next hand and forget about the garbage that you’re both holding. Do both of you a favor and buy the pot. You could use the chips, anyway.
