calling bets

couldn't find an answer for this, might be a silly question.

since both players place a bet at the same time, is there any way to tell whether your opponent called your bet or whether they just happened to bet the same amount as you simultaneously? or is the idea that you would not be 100% sure?

Re: calling bets

The latter. Sort of. There's things you can do, like:

Only bet in weird numbers. Someone matches your 7, 9, or 11... chances are they saw it and matched you. (The higher the bet, the higher the chance that they got the prompt and had to think about it. Matching your 27 is obviously much more unlikely than matching your 3.)

If you're sure someone's going to bet and pushing the pot doesn't matter much... bet very low and you might get a peek at their bet first.(People can get weird about this. Sometimes they think you're trying to encourage them to think you have nothing and fold a 40 chip pot cuz you slid in a chip.)

Lastly, and least reliably, observe how quickly they matched you. (Of course, this could just be your missed server ping, their missed server ping, or just someone really thinking about it.)


Try Linux, get free. #!++ (CrunchbangPlusPlus) is a stable distribution based on Debian 8. Keep it fast, keep it pretty.
