Online poker players 'should be wary of table conversations'

2007-11-27 15:10:22

People playing poker online should be careful not to get too distracted by other conversations going on around the table - at least that seems to be the implication of a recent blog post.

Writing on pop culture site YesButNoButYes, a user called Jellio told the tale of an online poker game where a conversation between two other players completely put him off his game.

Thinking that he had an excellent poker hand with three queens, Jellio said that he failed to notice that there were three clubs on the table because he was too engrossed in a conversation about Soulja Boy.

He then confidently moved all-in and lost to a flush.

Trying to put your opponent off can be an important part of poker games, with players such as Paul Magriel using bizarre behaviour to try and distract their opponents, according to HomePokerGames.com.
