Poker psychology

I've just read about the the gap concept and intend to make it part of my game. I also recently read a poker blog (I forget who's) that advised taking a long time to fold a weak hand when raised big - the idea being that it fazes your opponent, making them think twice before putting you in that situation again.

Does anybody have any other psychological tactics they'd like to share with us?

for non-online poker if you have the nuts (best posible hand) say jokingly that you have it. it may make people bet just to see if you do.

except for in hold em very rarely will you have the absolute nuts, and for experienced players obvious hollywooding techniques don't work

the problem is that the poker psychology depends on your mind ..

When I've got a really strong hand, and I want someone to call, I'll stare at the flop, because everyone's heard that this is a common tell and staring at the flop usually means they're on a draw. I'll also check my cards a couple times, like I'm looking to see if I can make a straight of flush.

It happens quite often that people ask me : "what do you have?" . I think it's good to have a quick answer in these cases, so I alway reply: "2 jokers, best possible hand" :-)

I think a good question is to ask someone is 'What are do you think I have?'.
Certain type of people will basically tell you the hands that can beat them. Give it a try =)
