Most poker players think that looking for and reading tells are only for live poker games. This article will demonstrate the value of “looking for and reading” tells in online poker games.
The world is fiercely competitive. Poker players feel the competition all the time. The same is true for people in business. Many books and articles have been written recently about what makes a person successful either in business or in poker.
Of all the games that we can play on a computer or mobile device, poker is unique. It requires sound deductive judgment based on many factors plus sound inductive reasoning based on historical examples. Poker can raise us up, train us for success in our chosen professions, and give us heightened levels of self-confidence.
Main Event Day 2 was a tough one for Team Intertops but one player is still in the game.
Poker is a game in which the fear of loss is always at or just beneath the surface. Since we can’t eliminate fear, we need to learn to use it to our best advantage. This can result in causing an opponent to fold a winning hand or can simply allow us to shrug off a bad beat.
Until just recently, which we would date at about the time chubby Chris Moneymaker won the WSOP tournament in 2003, poker still had the image of a saloon game which as often as not was settled with a six-shooter and not just the cards on the table. The image had long outlasted the reality. Suddenly, the image changed.
The poker revolution started with two parallel phenomena: the tremendous win by the amateur Chris Moneymaker in the World Series of Poker in 2003 and the explosion in popularity of televised poker. The importance of televised poker tournaments cannot be underestimated.
People are motivated to give to good causes. Billions of dollars are donated every year to a vast list of charitable organizations and individuals in need. Poker is fast becoming a vehicle through which large sums of money are raised.
Before we begin our report about a recent decision from the US Department of Justice, let us assure everyone that Intertops is open and we expect to remain open for many years to come.

Poker Online Can Be a Boon to States
In May 2018, the United States Supreme Court threw out a law from 1992 that had made sports betting illegal in 46 of the 50 states. Since then, many advocates of legal online poker and gaming have renewed efforts to achieve that goal. Still, the opposition remains strong as well.
Stunning Saga of Nuns Gone Wild
