For online gaming, even without the presence of the player, one can easily give away clues of their cards by betting big every time. Pace your betting strategy do not give away a good hand by betting off a lot of money at the start of the game.

As for strategy for different types of games, one should not base their bet on the initial cards given in the Texas Hold’em Card game. This is the common mistakes done by a novice player. One should base their bet on the next three faced-up cards called the flop for these three cards would give one a bigger picture of its hand.

For Omaha Hi or Omaha Hi Lo players should always get two hands from their four hand card never use just one or all four always choose that could possibly form the combination of High or Low. Never depend on the five faced-up cards for a good hand, always start on the hand that one already has.

Seven Card Stud Poker requires more skills and strategies it is everyone’s game. In this game one should be wise enough to base their decision not only from ones’ hand but also from the faced-up card of the opponent. From the opponents’ faced-up card one would know if the chance of having a flush or same suit is possible. If one is aiming for a same suit and one see more of that suit spread through out the other players’ faced-up card then the chances to win in a same suit would be lowered.
