Review of free poker holdem::where can i play texas holdem poker for free
Parlay is an interesting little game. It claims to be a new way to play your favorite poker games such as Texas Holdem, Omaha, Or Five Card Draw. The claim is correct to a certain point. For poker lovers you need to understand the hand is not played out via poker rules exactly, but that poker comes into play if you decide not to fold your hand. The game is more of a word game with the poker aspect being a nice little bonus. First I will explain the word portion of the game. Each of the cards in the playing deck has a normal playing card rank, a letter, and a point value. Your goal is to form a word from your hand (your hole cards) along with any shared cards of three to seven letters. The number of hole cards and shared cards you have to use is based on the version of poker you choose to play. If you are playing Texas Holdem then you will have a maximum of 2 hole cards and 5 shared cards to form your word. If you are playing Omaha you must use two your hole cards (and only 2) along with up to all five of the shared cards. If you are playing Five Card Draw then you can use any of your five cards or all of them (there are no shared cards). After forming your word you decide to just take your points (fold) or you stay in the hand for the possibility of bonus points. After the words are revealed any suspicious words that may not be real can be challenged. If you are challenged and your word is illegal you receive zero points are are out of the hand. If you challenge someone else's word and it is a real word you get zero points and are out of the hand. Anyone that folded and has a valid word (or even if it's not a real word but it's not challenged) gets the points for their word based on the point values of the cards they use. Anyone that does not fold goes to the next round of scoring. Whoever has the best poker hand, which does not have to use the same cards as their cards used to form their word, will get a bonus matching the point value of their word. Then anyone using a 5 letter word gets 15 points, 6 letters gets 45 points, and 7 letters gets 100 points. Finally any point bonuses are added if your word was challenged and ruled legal or if you challenged and opponent's word and it was illegal. Any of the players that have decided not to fold then compare their scores. Only the person with the highest total out of these players gets their points. Everyone else that failed to fold gets 0 points! You are free to play as many rounds as your group decides ahead of time and then total your scores to see who wins. This is a good game if you have some people in your group that enjoy word games and some enjoy poker type games since this combines the two. At just under $15 retail price, the game is a good one to keep in your collection for when you have a mixed group to play with. The game loses some of the key aspects of poker and will dissapoint poker fans, but then again if it gets people to play that would normally refuse to play a poker style game it will still please the poker fans! |

Review of tx holdem::How to Win in Texas Hold Em?
Texas Hold'em has been around for years, but recently it has caught on like the plague. Many people first heard of the game when The World Series of Poker was shown live on ESPN and the unknown Chris Moneymaker, an amateur that won his way into the tournament through an online site, won 2.5 million dollars at the final table. Since then Texas Hold'em games started to show up everywhere, especially online game sites. The market is there for selling this game and making a lot of money, but what about we who want to play purely for recreation, where do we fit into the game? There are many online sites you can go to for a free game, but it just doesn't have the feel of sitting at a table staring across at your opponent, studying them, trying to decide who holds the better hand. That is what Hold'em is all about! Well for years I have gone to tournaments and paid my entry fee and played my heart out. Well if you are an avid player these buy-ins can get expensive and sometimes the wife isn't so understanding. I was looking for a place to play my games and have fun but at no cost to me. Sounds impossible doesn't it? I thought the same but then a friend told me about Poker Pub. Poker Pub is an organization that decided they would hold free Texas Hold'em games at local bars in the Kansas City area. Instead of charging an entry fee they would charge the bar a rental fee for their services, in turn making poker games free for you and me. The best part (besides being free) is they have great prizes at every tournament, for the winners. I know it's awesome isn't it? The only thing that makes me hate Poker Pub is the fact that I didn't come up with the idea. Poker Pub started out in Kansas City, and now works in 6 states, CO, MO, KS, TX, AR, AZ. And if you aren't familiar with State Abbreviations and I am talking to the people in Arkansas, Google search the letters and it will tell you. So what else does Poker Pub have to offer? Well they have so many tournaments that they hold qualifiers to larger tournaments where you can win some great prizes, such as buy-ins at local casinos, and even trips to Las Vegas. So what are you waiting for go check it out…oh yeah the website address…here it is (www.thepokerpub.com). The website impressed me, and I do web development and hate most webpages. It is a little messy but great info and easy to navigate; their first page is always the most recent news about the games so you know what is going on. They always let you know in advance if a game is cancelled or moved or if new places are added or old places removed. I love how they keep you up to date, and also they have a great calendar that tells time and places for games in your city and at what location. They even provide maps with directions; you don't even have to rely on your Google map skills. Another function of their website I like is you can subscribe to all ongoing tournaments and get updates about them. So if something happens and the tournament has to be put on hold, you are notified and don't show up looking like Phil Ivey ready for a game. Downfalls to Poker Pub (in some people's eyes) is that you have to be 21 for almost all games, because most places that host them are bars and don't want any underage people there drinking. This doesn't bother me at all, this way I don't have to put up with some 18 year old punk who thinks it's ok to yell "yeah baby" every time he thinks he has a good hand (which is normally Jack/Queen unsuited). You can call the locations to see their specific rules on their 21 and over policy, some places don't enforce this. Another downfall is that a lot of people think they are good players and come dressed as their favorite players or wear crazy getups, which doesn't help you win at poker, so stop wearing them. So for you experienced players who don't like to play with amateurs who don't know how to really play, it can be excruciating until most of them are eliminated. Other than these two small downfalls, there isn't much else you can complain about. You get free poker with chances to win some great prizes, and best of all you get to play at a real table against people face to face. I think this adds to the game and makes it ten times more fun then playing online with some crappy graphics against people who go all in ever hand. Well check out Poker Pub and see what I am talking about and enjoy all the free games and prizes. Who knows maybe you are the next Chris Moneymaker. |
