Poker is all about observing your opponent, with a lot of players believing in the importance of spotting tells. These tell-tale signs that all players give off can help an expert player to judge their opponent’s intentions or state of mind.
Playing online is a little more tricky, since you can’t physically see the other players round the table. Many players have described online tells that can be used in a similar way to get the big picture, including speed of betting and following players’ patterns.
A new invention in online poker is about to change all this. Monbluff poker, a French online poker network, has added a webcam feature to their poker room. Members sign in and switch on the camera, so that all players at the table can interact, bringing players much closer to a live game.
Webcams add a new dimension to online poker, making it more exciting and more authentic. Monbluff is not the only online site to feature webcams, although it is still quite rare.
Some players will no doubt be opposed to this new innovation. The advantages of playing online are that you can play from home, in comfort, in your pajamas if you so desire, play in several games at once, or do other things at the same time. The whole idea is far more relaxed than live poker.
Once the cameras make an appearance, each player would need to be far more alert, on his guard and prepared. The image you project is very important in a game of poker, and thought must go into outfit, demeanour and accessories - whether to don sunglasses or a hat.
It seems that serious players may appreciate webcam poker as a way to raise their game, whereas amateurs and those who play purely for fun may wish to keep the cameras turned off.
Whatever the deal, webcam will definitely add to the excitement of online poker, and can only help increase its popularity.

The UK pub poker circuit has brought the game of poker to the average man in the street.
Rebranded as a low-risk, low stakes and high-entertainment game, pub poker has taken off across the UK.
The Nuts Poker League was launched with the help of £60,000 given by the BBC’s Dragon Den. Entrepreneur Steve Bellis won the cash investment on the show where contestants pitch their business ideas to a team of venture capitalists who then pick the ones with the most potential to invest in.
In Scotland, over 80 pubs have joined the game, with weekly poker nights.
Bets are capped at £5 and the top prize on offer is £100 – not bad for a night out at the local pub. The aim of this low stakes version is that everyone can participate without the danger of getting in too deep.
You don’t have to be an expert to join the league, in fact it’s the perfect place for beginners to learn the ropes, whilst having a chance to win some money.
The pub poker league is very sociable, and a great way to meet new people, one of the reasons this idea has grown so quickly.
Each player puts £5 in the pot, and the total is divided up by the winners.
The poker games are good news for pubs, bringing in business on typically quiet weekday nights.
It seems that pub poker is replacing the great British institution of the pub quiz, where locals get into teams to answer trivia questions, to win a cash prize. It is not surprising that this new activity has inspired so many Brits, since poker as a global phenomenon is on the rise.
