Victor Chandler Poker survey identifies online poker tells

Apparantly there is such a thing as an 'online' tell in poker

Tells in poker have long been integral to the game, as much as a good hand. But Victor Chandler have decided to research whether they exist in the 'virtual' world as well as sitting round a table.

They find they do exist.

Whilst traditional offline tells include:
- eyes
- facial expressions
- playing with chips

Online, as expected, its all slightly different.

As they discovered, online tells include:
- Quickness to respond - a very fast check can indicate a weak hand. Quick bets on the turn or river can indicate a strong one

- Slowness to respond - a pause followed by a check can indicate weakness, whilst a delay followed by a raise can indicate strength

- Automatic play - any breaks in 'lazy playing' by using the auto button are clear tells
