Free Online Poker Skills How Kill the Opposition by Sandbagging
If you want to try some new skills when playing free online poker then ’sandbagging’ is a new one to try. In basic terms, sandbagging is the opposite to bluffing, where you lead your opponents to think that you have a week hand when you have a strong one.
As the betting begins, call the initial bets, but don’t jump in with any raises, not even a small one
The aim is to entice as many players to stay in the game for as long as you can until the last second when you finish them all off with your hand.
Some player also call this “slow playing a hand.” I have found the real trick in sandbagging is to almost hide your hand by not signalling anything.
This technique works well when another player has good cards, too. That player will do the betting for you and you will remain “hidden” until you are ready to slam them with an allin.
Many times by doing this you get into a nutz situation as the flop, turn, and river fill up your hand.
The technique in real live poker is much more difficult because you MUST hide your body and eye movements from the other players.
In internet paid and free online poker games it is much easier because no one can really “see” you. Sandbagging also gives you the option to make economic bets by not blowing a raise and ultimately losing to someone who hits big on the turn or river.
So, the key to being good at sandbagging when playing free online poker, is to entice as many players as possible into the pot and then jump all-in at the crucial time to take the pot. Good luck in giving it a go and I hope this tip serves you well.
I very much hope my tips on the sandbagging techniques help you in your poker play and look forward to seeing you on the poker tables soon.
