How to Flirt at Online Poker for Fun and Profit

So many women are afraid to show their sexy side when playing online poker. Why? They want to be treated with respect. Respect is earned, not immediately given. Skill garners respect. Flirting is a skill. If you've ever done it, you know this fact is true.

Women who can flirt and play poker are a rare breed. Even rarer are the women who enjoy flirting while playing poker. This can be a big mistake. When you flirt, you distract your opponents. Distraction is good. If you make new poker-playing friends, then you can get the opportunity to learn from and about them.

Have you figured out where I'm going with this yet? Flirting is a great way to gain information at the poker table (and off). Information = profits in poker. So, stop worrying about what online folks and blokes think about you and...

get to flirting with these simple tips:

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• computer
• online poker software
• a little know-how of the game
• the ability to flirt

1. Get a sexy avatar . Men are visual creatures and utilize this as a distraction mechanism. Search Google for images you like. Goth chicks, fairies, models, etc and more make men go wild. When they take notice of you, that's a good thing.

2. Play dumb and/or ask to be taught the game. Why? They'll be more likely to give away information and ... in poker, information = profits (as I mentioned before). Sometimes, you can do a really silly thing and poker fun at yourself, or just act like the damsel in distress. Either way, you'll get the assistance (and information) you seek.

3. Stroke the male ego. If you don't know men have egos, then you shouldn't be playing poker (wink, wink). Poker-playing men often have major egos and that's a lovable (profitable) trait. For example, when a guy gets a good hand even if it's not against you, congratulate him. If you notice his poker prowess, he'll respond more kindly to you when you ask him a question or play a hand against him.

4. Use innuendo. Don't be afraid to get down and suggestive if not dirty with your talk. It drives most men crazy. Some love it and want you to keep talking. Others will wish you'd shut up and get on tilt. Both situations can help you immensely.

5. Have fun. Flirting, like poker, is a fun activity. You'll make the table a pleasant environment and leave it with some added moolah.

Tips & Warnings

• Have a sense of humor about the whole thing. Flirting isn't forever. It's a temporary thing and it's supposed to fun.
• Make sure you have a solid knowledge of the game of poker before attempting this strategy.
• If you have trouble flirting live that doesn't mean you'll have trouble online.
• Don't give out personal information such as your real name, SSN#, phone number, etc.
• Stick with stock or special web images instead of using your own picture.
• If you go too far, say "my bad" and move on.
