Do you play online because in real life you have tells that would give away your hand?

No, im a Phil Ivey in real life .

and I am like Daniel Negreanu in real life, I just know how to read others tales, not showing mine joking obviously. I only play online, cause it's more convenient and stakes are small.

online its much less time demanding

Not the main reason to play online. If you're that expressive, you probably play too emotionally anyway. Online is a great way to see lots of hands and get used to automatic responses to certain situations so you have fewer live tells anyway.

To me, a delay is a Tell.

The number of times a player has took longer to play his move over previous deals is a massive one. If they delay - take note.

I ' m getting bored in live poker,...i m used with multitabling

No, quire the opposite. I prefer live poker for the human aspect of it, making it more interesting.

I play online for the convenience factor as I don't live anywhere near a casino at the moment.

Hi
Not really the reason i play online.
I play live when i have the time to go to a casino.
I play online also, when i get time to play.

I play online because I can multi table, so I can " profit " more with that... And are just the tells that make me find the game fascinating.

But now talking about online poker, if you haven't noticed when someone takes too long to 3bet you, especially if you know that the player has some experience, you might consider that he is thiking how he can bluff you...

Usually beetween 30-50 Big blinds good regulars will eat you down in tables.

Other tell is how fast is someone calling you, if vilain instant call you, you can consider that he doesn't even think about a re-raise on the hand, and his hand is not that strong.

Here's what I have with my experience with tells, of course you can't take what I've said as a absolute true but write it down the tells I've said in a paper and test your on.

In Russia, you can play live in certain areas. For example in Sochi. I think that in live poker I will be easy to read face. I'd rather play online.

I have no way to play live. But even if it were, I like online more for its fast game and independence in the choice of time to play.

That's is why you should try to make your reaction time consistent.

I play online because it's simply more practical and especially less tiring than playing live.

Nope, I play where the action is. More players, tables to choose from.

We don't have a casino so I play online. The role of tells in live poker is greatly exaggerated in my opinion. It is not enough to notice the body movements of the opponents, but it is necessary to interpret them correctly.
