- texas hold em? you basically get two cards & five cards are laid out you use your cards & three of the five cards to get a combination of some sort. you bet how much you wish to, depending on your cards & if you get the best combination, then you win the poker hands are (from best to worst) - straight flush - four of a kind - full house - flush - straight - three of a kind - two pair - one pair - high cards the concept of playing poker is to win money & test out your bluffing skills
- There are several ways and many combinations and the most rare to happen is called Royal Strait flush I think. Use it with fleugma too and never bet with just a cards pair. Be careful, anyway...
- to generic of a question.......go to cardplayer.com......or just search texas holdem(easiest game to learn) strength of cards high card pair two pair three of a kind straight flush full house four of a kind straight flush royal flush as far as strategic betting that would take to long to explain every hand there are blinds ......small blind and next seat big blind......thats to guarentee action every hand in case everyone folds there is still something in the pot.... come play me heads up at fulltilt.com (ajtitans) and i will teach you how to play :)
- Just like this. Here's a question and an answer for poker. Question: K K on the button, $1-$2 no limit cash game? $1-$2 no limit hold 'em cash game, I'm dealt K K on the button. Folds to a guy in middle position who calls, folds to me. I make it $16 total, blinds both fold, limper calls. Flop comes 2 7 10 rainbow. Opponent bets $40. I have about $250 in front of me, he as about $225. What do you do???? Answer: Disclaimer: Wicked long, but good information First go with a smaller preflop raise. A good rule of thumb is 4x the big blind + 1 big blind per limper. In this case, with one limper, we'd make it $10 to go. But you do $16, he calls. Before the flop comes, what is our opponnent likely to have? Probably a pocket pair, and not just any pocket pair, but a medium to small one. Why? Because he didn't open raise he shouldn't have JJ-KK, he would want to protect that hand. Sometimes people will limp aces, but then he would 3bet your raise and he didn't. People will limp with smaller pairs trying to flop a set, and they'll often then smooth call any raise behind them. Remember that, it's a good one. Flop (Pot: $35) [2 7 10] A really dry flop, but your opponnent leads out for about the pot. This is not a good spot right here and I would seriously consider getting out. The flop fits the small to medium pocket pairs and he's betting it fairly strong. As a rule, when the flop's dry and he's betting heavy into it, that's not good. He knows you have something you like, you were the preflop aggressor. His bet here seems to be egging you into raising him to let him know who's boss, just like he wants. Big pots are for big hands, and while an overpair is good, it's not big. The real problem comes if you call. Now the pot is $115 and the rest of your stack is going to probably go in. I mean if you're calling the flop, what card is coming that will change your decision? So really it's either all in now or fold. One decision gone. The options are he has a set or aces and you're way behind, going to win about 9% of the time, or he has QQ, JJ, or another small pp that missed, in which you will win 91% of the time. The thing to do now is weigh the likelyhood of each of these hands. AA: 5% Not likely, someone limping with this is praying for what you gave, a re-raise behind so they can snap a trap on them. 22,77,1010: 35% KK, QQ, JJ: 5% Other PP: 55% This seems a reasonable distribution, and you're ahead 60% of the time, but there's more. If you go all in here, he's probably folding the pocket pairs that missed, so 55% of the time you pick up his $40 bet and the original pot. Let's say he'll call with overpairs, so 5% of the time he calls way behind, but 40% of the time he has AA or the set and calls being far ahead. The equity equation is: {AA, 22, 77, TT} (.91)(-$250) + (.09)($285) = -$201.85 {JJ, QQ} (.91)($285) + (.09)(-$250) = $236.85 {Other pocket pairs} (1)($75) = $75 Now we weigh them by their likelyhood. (.55)($75) + (.05)($236.85) + (.40)(-$201.85) = $41.25 + $11.84 - $80.74 = -$27.65 On average, going all in here expects to lose $27.65. Since calling does not change the situation, that is not a good idea. Raising has just been proven incorrect through statistical analysis. Therefore, the correct play in this situation is to fold.
