Online poker is a unique beast, with its own quirks and oddities. How you play a successful and winning game online can be completely different than how you play a successful and winning game in a casino or club. You’re playing against different people in a different environment, and a lot of the tips and guidelines that apply to traditional poker table simply don’t work online.

Case in point, conservative slow playing. This is one of the consistently winning strategies in brick and mortar games. Holding onto your chips is how you win the game, because truly risky gambles are almost always too risky. Now there are exceptions to this, but in general you want to be conservative.

Not so online, especially in fun money games. First of all, the online player base is much more timid than the brick and mortar player base, and thus, they will be more easily aggressed, and aggression will net you more winnings. Realizing the timid nature of many online players will help you win more chips and make more money, whether it’s real or fake.

In fun money games, aggression is always the way to play. There’s no real risk in losing, and thus, there’s no reason not to be aggressive. Fun money games are where you practice your chops, and learn new ways to steal chips. In this environment it always pays off the be aggressive, if only to test whether or not it will be successful.
