There are many reasons to want people to think you are an inexperienced poker player and here are some ways you can make them think that.
When entering the poker room you will be escorted to a poker table as soon as you are in the room make sure to look around like you have never been there before. Make sure to practice you look of awe. When you get closer to the table the other players will be looking to check you out, and if you make it seem like this is your first time in a casino poker room they will think you lack experience and will let their guard down around you.
During the game make a face when you have a bad hand, but do it just for a minute then make sure to look around the table nervously to see if anyone noticed, but do not make eye contact with them make it seem like you did not notice them. If someone did notice they will think you have a bad poker face and must be a beginner. If more then one person saw you then fold the hand. Someone who has been playing poker for any length of time would never make a mistake like that.
When you have a really good poker hand you want to let everyone know, so a good way to do that is to start making big raises with your bets and put a big smile on your face. If done right the other players should start to fold. Latter on in the game after you have done this two or three times you will get away with doing it with a bad hand and no one will know that you were bluffing. Make sure that when you start to give a tell that you have a good hand you actually have a really strong hand. You need to have at least a full house to make sure there are good odds of you winning.
When you first sit down at the poker table you should just play bad. Stay in the hand with just a high card. Raise the bet when you only have a pair or are hoping that you will get a good hand after all the cards are turned over. This is a great way to make people think you are a first time or inexperienced player.
They way you dress can tell people how good a player you are. If you go into the casinos poker room and sit at a texas holdem poker table dressed like someone who is a professional player at the cheapest table in the house, with all the sponsors on your shirt, a hat pulled low over your eyes an a dark pair of sunglasses, everyone would not only assume you have never been in a real poker room before, but they will think you a fool and laugh at you. They will not suspect you to be a hustler, but make sure to play badly at first. If you dress like that and you start winning right off people will think you to be a professional player.
The object is to make people think you are inexperienced, but if you do too much or over do it, it becomes a real tell, and all the other players at the table will now that you are bluffing. If this should happen you would be well advised to just walk away. You should be able to tell if they are falling for it by how they bet if you are trying to get them t bet big but they are being overly cautious time after time, and you notice dirty looks then the gig is up and you should go.
