Review of texas hold em hand::What Are the Hands in Texas Holdem







Review of texas hold em hand::What Are the Hands in Texas Holdem








There's               a               new               Texas               Hold'em               poker               web               site               in               town,               and               this               one               claims               to               be               legal               in               the               United               States:               e-PokerUSA.

This               one's               a               little               different               though.

To               be               legal,               e-PokerUSA               had               to               make               Texas               Hold'em               a               game               of               skill               as               opposed               to               gambling.

e-PokerUSA's               Texas               Hold'em               Game
               Here's               the               idea.

The               game               is               regular               Texas               Hold'em.

Let's               say               you're               at               Table               1,               Seat               1.

You're               dealt               two               cards,               and               you               play               them               just               like               you               would               in               regular               Hold'em.

Let's               say               you               were               dealt               Ace-King.

One               of               your               opponents               has               Ace-2.

An               ace               flops,               and               you               beat               out               your               opponent,               winning               500               chips.
               What               makes               e-PokerUSA               different               is               that               at               another               table,               everybody               has               the               exact               same               hand.

Somebody               else               also               has               Ace-King.

This               person               is               called               your               duplicate.

And               your               duplicate's               opponent               also               has               Ace-2.

They               also               have               the               exact               same               flop.

However,               your               duplicate               with               the               exact               same               hand               as               you               was               only               able               to               win               300               chips               with               his               Ace-King.

There               will               be               3               or               4               duplicate               tables               with               the               exact               same               cards.
               The               goal               of               the               game               is               not               to               win               the               hand               at               your               table,               but               to               outperform               all               of               the               people               in               your               situation.

Since               you               won               500               chips               with               your               Ace-King,               but               your               opponent               only               won               300               chips               with               his               Ace-King,               you               are               the               winner               that               hand.

You               are               then               given               Victory               Points               based               on               how               much               you               beat               your               duplicates               by.
               e-PokerUSA               Texas               Hold'em               Praise
               The               concept               is               great               to               me.

How               often               do               people               complain               that               their               cards               are               bad?

Well               in               e-PokerUSA,               your               cards               don't               matter.

What               matters               is               how               well               you               play               them.
               I've               also               run               into               many               people               who               say,               "I               could               have               played               that               hand               better".

I'm               even               guilty               of               doing               this.

E-PokerUSA               makes               you               put               your               money               where               you're               mouth               is.

You're               truly               judged               on               how               well               you               play               the               hand.
               e-PokerUSA               Texas               Hold'em               Flaws
               While               I               love               the               concept,               e-PokerUSA               has               some               major               flaws               that               ruin               the               game.

First,               there               is               a               huge               advantage               to               folding               pre-flop.

Let's               say               I               fold               pre-flop               and               lose               0               chips               on               the               hand.

But               my               duplicate               bets               to               make               it               to               the               flop,               but               then               folds               after               a               bad               flop,               which               is               typical               play,               especially               if               nobody               raises               pre-flop.

So               my               duplicate               loses               20               chips               on               the               hand.

By               e-PokerUSA's               formula,               I               earn               victory               points               because               I               did               better               on               the               hand.
               Also,               the               game               is               too               largely               affected               the               your               opponents               at               your               table.

If               I               get               a               table               where               somebody               is               extremely               aggressive               pre-flop,               I               may               have               to               fold               a               decent               hand               to               a               monstrous               raise.

But               my               duplicate               might               get               to               see               the               flop               cheap.

When               our               cards               show               on               the               flop,               my               duplicate               beats               me,               but               only               because               I               was               at               the               table               where               somebody               bullied               me               out.

My               strategy               is               wise               by               Texas               Hold'em               standards.

Eventually               e-PokerUSA               will               need               to               tweak               to               account               for               this.
               Finally,               when               you               have               a               great               hand,               you               are               very               much               at               the               whim               of               who               calls               you.

If               I               get               pocket               aces               and               go               all               in               and               only               get               one               caller,               but               my               duplicate               goes               all               in               and               gets               two               callers,               then               the               duplicate               wins               (assuming               we               win               the               hand).

But               that               doesn't               take               skill;               that               takes               getting               called.
               e-PokerUSA               Texas               Hold'em               Overall
               e-PokerUSA               is               fun,               but               it's               flaws               will               irk               most               Texas               Hold'em               players.

They               have               some               free               rolls,               and               are               essentially               the               only               poker               game               available               in               the               United               States.

So               they               are               worth               trying.

But               the               game               isn't               there               yet.

With               a               little               tweaking               though,               e-PokerUSA               could               be               great.

Perhaps               by               fixing               the               fold               advantage               and               by               instituting               limit               poker               (All-in's               seem               to               ruin               the               game),               e-PokerUSA               could               be               the               future               of               Texas               Hold'em               in               the               United               States.
