How to Be Portrayed as the Table Bully

Being a bully in any other situation is not necessarily a good thing. Being a bully at the situs poker online table can be quite rewarding. If you ever played at a table where there was a bully, then you can definitely relate to the following information.

Pulling in the Majority of Chips
In order to pull in the majority of the chips at the online poker table, you have to start playing in a certain manner. Each time you are in a hand, you need to blow the two blinds off their chips every time you can. Even if you have a marginal hand, the rest of the table will come to expect you are going to raise up the blinds and will fold. The big benefit here is that two things can happen, one, the players get fed up and call out of frustration with marginal hands and you crush them. The second, you get re-raise and you know instantly that player has a hand and thinks they can beat you, so you get off your hand cheaply.

Bluffing Your Way to the Top
The easiest way to get more chips is to simply bluff at them over and over again. When the board has an ace, push all your chips in the middle. When you see that the board pairs or a flush shows on the river, push all in. Chances are good that those chasing other hands are going to think it is not worth the risk to try and go up against you since you have the majority of the chips. You can win showdown after showdown by bluffing at the right time. Be very careful not to do this too often because some players are getting frustrated and will wait until they have the nuts to slow play and try to trap you into going all in.
