Some players think that since they are online, that talking doesn’t serve as a tell. However, except for using auto-play buttons, talking serves as the biggest tell in online poker.

Don’t waste your energy taunting or talking to other players. This will give players a look into your personality and therefore your true playing style. Talking too much also leads into the next online poker mistake.

Mistake No. 4: Making Enemies.

Making enemies in poker is never a good idea. If you win a pot, graciously drag the chips to your pile, but don’t say a word. If you lose a pot to a lucky draw, take it on the chin and don’t whine. The reason that you don’t want to make enemies is simple. The enemies you make playing poker will be “gunning” for you.

It is never good to have players who want you out of a game, because they will be more likely to make a move against you. This takes the power out of your hands because the other players aren’t playing FOR chips, they are playing AGAINST you.

So, keep to yourself, and let the chips do the talking.
