Just try to evaluate their posts as you would others. There's still material there to try and read unless they're literally posting nothing. If you're playing with an intermediate/decent player who lurks alot or rarely gives reasoning, judge them more by the quality of their votes. If you're playing with a VI/inexperienced player, basic tells can work best (hint: the ones that claim prematurely are usually town
) Sometimes if you have multiple lurkers in a game, you can learn something by seeing how people treat them differently.
Since PokerFace just brought up MafiaSSK, I remember in
Satin Doll Showdown a number of us managed to get a pretty decent read on him despite his minimal posting. It can be done!
