In online poker you don't have as much information as in live poker to determine whether your opponent has a strong hand, but there are still some things you can look for when it is your opponents turn to act.
- In general if a player thinks for a while and then decides to raise he is not bluffing. The player likely thinks they have the best hand and they were deciding how much you would call.
- In limit poker a quick raise preflop will usually mean the player has top pair.
- In limit poker a quick call with two flush cards on the flop will usually mean a draw.
- If a player raises very quickly it will generally mean they are either bluffing or have only a moderate hand.
There are many other tells that are unique to individual players that usually have to do with the amount the player bets or the time it takes the player to act. If you can watch these two things and find some tendencies of certain players you should be able to beat them consistently.
