Review of poker order of cards::How Do You Score in Poker







Review of poker order of cards::How Do You Score in Poker








Draw               hands               are               hands               after               the               flop               in               which               the               player               has               four               cards               to               a               straight,               a               flush               or               both.

Made               hands               are               hands               which               after               the               flop               the               player               has               trips,               two               pair,               top               pair               or               a               pair               of               kings               or               aces               in               the               pocket               (the               last               two               both               pre-flop).

Of               course               higher               hands               such               as               a               straight               flush,               a               full               straight               or               flush               on               the               flop               and               four               of               a               kind               are               also               made               hands.

The               difference               between               good               play               and               poor               play               for               a               draw               hand               and               a               made               hand               are               significantly               different.

A               great               poker               player               will               try               to               control               the               table,               stay               in               or               fold               based               on               several               factors,               which               are               discussed               in               the               rest               of               this               article.

This               play               strategy               is               designed               to               increase               your               potential               winnings               as               well               as               to               provide               guidelines               for               playing               each               type               of               hand.
               Draw               Hands               Strategy
               If               you               are               dealt               a               draw               hand               on               the               flop,               your               best               strategy               is               to               keep               the               betting               relatively               low               and               to               keep               as               many               players               in               as               possible.

After               all               your               chance               of               filling               the               straight               or               flush               is               usually               less               than               50%.

Even               when               you               catch               your               draw,               you               may               lose               to               a               higher               hand.

Four               cards               to               a               flush               are               your               best               drawing               hand               other               than               the               rare               straight               flush               possibility.

However,               if               you               have               a               jack               and               ten               of               hearts               and               two               other               hearts               on               the               flop,               say               an               eight               and               a               queen               of               hearts               you               can               still               draw               a               fifth               heart               and               lose               to               another               person               with               two               hearts               with               one               being               a               king               or               an               ace.
               A               flush               with               an               ace               is               called               the               nut               flush               because               other               than               running               into               a               straight               flush,               an               ace               will               dominate               all               other               hands               providing               a               pair               is               not               showing               on               board.

If               a               pair               does               show               you               have               to               worry               about               your               nut               flush               being               beaten               by               a               full               house               or               even               quads.
               While               a               high               flush               will               usually               win               if               no               pair               is               showing               when               you               reach               the               river.

Without               the               ace               of               the               suit               in               your               hold               cards               you               must               be               very               careful               if               another               player               bets               all               in               as               this               is               a               very               clear               sign               to               you               that               they               have               the               ace               themselves.

I               have               folded               flushes               when               raised               by               a               conservative               player               who               is               likely               to               have               a               higher               flush               than               mine.
               Straight               draws               are               more               difficult               to               play.

If               there               are               two               or               three               suited               cards               in               the               flop               you               probably               do               not               want               to               play               this               draw               hand.

If               you               have               say               a               suited               Ace               and               10               to               King,               you               have               a               double               draw               possibility               for               both               a               straight               and               a               flush.

This               is               as               good               as               it               gets               with               a               drawing               hand.

Your               odds               of               hitting               either               the               nut               flush               or               nut               straight               are               above               50%.

This               is               why               you               want               as               many               people               in               as               possible.

You               get               a               potentially               large               pot               with               minimal               risking               a               large               sum               of               your               own               money.


               If               you               get               a               nut               flush               with               not               pair               on               board               you               are               the               winner.

The               question               is               how               to               maximize               you               pot               without               scaring               all               the               other               players               out.

A               moderate               value               bet               which               may               retain               players               with               trips               or               lower               draw               hands               is               the               smartest               move.

However,               if               you               are               playing               with               fish               (poor               players)               you               might               get               a               caller               with               an               all               in               bet.

This               is               especially               true               if               they               are               short               stacked               or               high               stacked.
               Personally,               I               would               not               even               recommend               a               player               draw               to               an               inside               or               one               way               straight.

There               are               four               outs               of               about               forty               five               cards               you               have               not               seen.

This               is               less               than               one               in               five               odds.

In               addition,               this               hand               may               be               beaten               by               a               superior               drawing               hand               or               a               higher               made               hand.

Many               times               these               hands               also               result               in               a               draw,               not               a               loser               but               not               a               winner               either.

It               is               just               not               worth               it.

Even               an               open               ended               straight               such               as               4,5,6,7               where               both               a               3               and               an               8               will               give               you               a               straight               still               is               a               long               shot               when               you               factor               in               that,               that               hand               can               also               be               beaten               by               a               player               with               say               8,9               or               a               an               higher               made               hand.

A               straight               chaser               is               probably               not               a               long               term               winner               unless               they               are               capable               of               keeping               a               lot               of               people               in               and               the               betting               low.

This               is               not               easy               to               do.
               Made               Hand               Strategy
               A               made               hand               is               generally               a               combination               of               cards               that               can               win               all               by               itself               such               as               pocket               aces               on               the               first               two               cards,               a               set               or               trips               on               the               flop,               a               full               house               or               better.

This               includes               a               complete               straight               or               flush               on               the               flop               as               well.
               A               made               hand               seems               easier               to               play.

It               is               not.

Pocket               aces               or               kings               are               considered               a               made               hand.

Yet               they               are               only               a               single               pair               if               the               five               board               cards               do               not               give               you               a               third               ace               or               king               respectively.

Pocket               aces               or               kings               are               best               played               by               a               very               large               bet.

Your               best               chance               is               to               bet               out               all               the               draw               hands               and               as               many               other               hands               as               possible.

If               you               go               into               the               flop               with               one               caller               you               have               a               very               good               chance               of               winning.

If               two               players               or               more               call,               while               your               mathematical               odds               are               still               higher               than               any               other               player               going               into               the               flop,               your               odds               of               winning               against               two               are               more               player               are               less               than               50%.

The               key               on               these               high               pairs               is               not               to               slow               play               but               to               try               and               get               as               many               people               out               a               soon               as               possible.
               The               opposite               the               strategy               you               should               use               on               a               made               hand               post               flop               of               trips               or               a               full               house.

These               hands               have               a               good               chance               of               winning               even               without               improvement               on               the               turn               or               the               river.

In               order               to               maximize               your               winnings               deceptive               play               in               the               best               strategy               in               this               case.

Slow               play               the               flop               with               a               check               and               hope               that               someone               else               will               bet.

If               you               are               in               good               late               position               and               the               flop               reveals               some               draw               hand               possibilities,               a               minimal               bet               might               be               advisable.

You               want               people               to               be               invested               in               the               pot               without               having               them               fold               leaving               you               with               just               the               blinds.

The               same               goes               for               turn               card               betting.

You               have               to               hope               that               someone               gets               a               hand               worth               betting               or               tries               for               a               bluff               win.

Look               weak               at               least               until               the               river               is               turned.
               If               betting               has               been               solid               make               a               bet               about               equal               to               the               pot.

If               someone               is               short               staked,               bet               enough               to               knock               them               out.

If               someone               looks               strong,               but               not               as               strong               as               you,               bet               all               in.

I               have               seen               many               full               houses               be               beaten               by               higher               full               houses               or               quads.

If               you               do               not               have               the               nuts,               this               can               be               a               game               ender               for               you.

On               the               other               hand               it               can               move               you               to               a               dominant               position               in               terms               of               chip               count.

High               chip               count               is               important               in               both               tournament               play               and               cash               games.
               Conclusion
               A               made               hand               is               considered               better               than               a               drawing               hand.

Why?

Because               with               a               made               hand               you               have               control               of               the               betting.

Control               of               betting               is               control               of               the               table.

While               poor               player               may               stay               in               with               a               flush               draw               when               a               large               bet               is               made,               many               better               players               will               not               risk               their               stack               on               a               draw               hand.
               Draw               hands               are               fun               to               play               but               it               is               gambling               not               skill               if               you               risk               a               large               portion               of               your               chips               on               a               less               than               50/50               bet.

Yet               I               have               seen               some               of               the               highest               rated               players               in               the               world               do               it.

That               is               probably               why               the               recent               World               Series               of               Poker               main               event               winners               have               not               been               the               highest               rated               players               in               the               world.
               Maximize               the               skill               in               your               poker               play               and               minimize               the               luck               factor.

    The               Basics
                   Some               poker               games               use               antes,               but               most               games               start               with               two               players               to               the               left               of               the               dealer               placing               out               a               predetermined               amount               of               money               so               there               is               an               initial               amount               to               get               things               started.

    These               are               called               blinds.

    For               those               not               familiar               with               poker               lingo,               Blinds               are               forced               bets               by               the               2               players               left               of               the               dealer.

    The               small               blinds               is               half               of               the               amount               of               the               big               blinds.
                   The               dealer               shuffles               up               the               playing               cards.

    Each               player               is               dealt               two               cards               face               down.

    Then,               there               is               a               round               of               betting               starting               with               the               guy               to               the               left               of               the               two               who               posted               the               blinds.

    The               amount               a               player               can               bet               depends               on               what               kind               of               game               it               is.

    If               it's               no-limit               game,               you               can               bet               any               amount               between               the               cost               of               the               big               blind               and               the               amount               of               money               you               have               at               the               table               on               any               betting               round.

    If               it's               pot-limit               game,               you're               limited               to               any               amount               between               the               cost               of               the               big               blind               and               the               size               of               the               pot               on               any               betting               round.

    Players               can               check,               raise,               or               fold               the               hand               they               have.
                   After               the               betting               round               ends,               the               dealer               removes               the               top               card               of               the               deck.

    This               is               called               a               burn               card.

    This               is               done               to               prevent               cheating               in               the               game.

    The               dealer               then               flips               the               next               three               cards               on               the               table.

    These               cards               are               called               the               flop.

    There               is               another               round               of               betting               starting               with               the               player               to               the               left               of               the               dealer.

    Then,               players               decides               to               bet               at               the               pot.

    Some               will               bet               the               pot,               if               they               got               a               winning               hand.

    Others               will               bet               the               pot,               even               if               they               got               a               losing               hand.
                   After               the               betting               concludes,               the               dealer               burns               another               card               and               flips               one               more               onto               the               table.

    This               is               called               the               turn               card.

    After               that,               more               betting               is               involved               in               this               round.

    Finally,               the               dealer               removes               a               card               and               places               a               final               card               on               the               table.

    This               is               called               the               river.

    There               is               one               final               round               of               betting               starting               with               the               player               to               the               left               of               the               dealer.

    After               that,               all               of               the               players               remaining               in               the               game               begin               to               reveal               their               hands.

    The               player               who               shows               the               best               hand               wins!

    If               more               than               one               player               has               a               winning               hand,               it's               called               a               split               pot.
                   Winning               Hands:
                   High               Card:               Winning               a               hand               with               one               card               higher               than               your               opponents.


                   Pair(s):               Winning               a               hand               with               one               or               2               pairs               on               the               board.


                   Sets:               3               of               the               same               cards               on               the               board.


                   4               of               a               kind:               4               of               the               same               cards               on               the               board.


                   Flush:               5               cards               with               that               either               share               a               heart,               diamond,               shape               or               club               
                   Straight:               consecutive               cards               in               row               
                   Royal               Flush:               Ace               high               (10*J*Q*K*A)               in               consecutive               cards               (hearts,               clubs,               spades,               diamonds)
                   The               Mistakes               to               Avoid
                   No               matter               how               good               you               are               playing               poker,               mistakes               can               be               made.

    It               happens               to               the               best               of               them.

    If               you're               not               careful,               you'll               go               from               chip               leader               to               short               stack               in               a               moment.

    These               are               the               mistakes               you               need               to               avoid.
                   Poor               hand               selection:               Playing               too               many               cards,               often               at               the               wrong               time,               is               the               biggest               flaw               in               the               losing               hold'em               players               game.

    There's               a               time               to               be               aggressive,               and               there's               a               time               to               play               conservative.

    Sometimes,               you               have               to               wait               for               a               hand               to               come               to               you.
                   Ignorance:               Don't               assume               that               know               everything               in               poker.

    All               the               hours               of               TV               and               poker               books               won't               make               you               a               poker               expert.

    Playing               it               in               the               card               rooms               and               online               games               will               make               you               a               good               player.

    You               can               learn               from               other               players               to               avoid               the               mistakes               they               made.
                   Lack               of               Bankroll:               There's               nothing               worse               than               entering               a               poker               game               with               a               big               bankroll               and               losing               it               in               one               game.

    Before               you               enter               the               big               games,               you               have               to               earn               your               bankroll               through               smaller               games.
                   Reading               Books:               Reading               books               about               poker               isn't               the               problem.

    The               problem               is               that               people               think               they               know               everything               from               all               the               books               they               read.

    Reading               different               books               is               good,               but               it               doesn't               replace               experience               from               actually               playing               the               game               online               and               off               line.

    You               should               wonder               why               they               put               this               stuff               in               their               books.
                   Not               Controlling               Your               Emotions:               It's               easy               to               get               emotional               in               poker,               but               it               can               come               back               and               hurt               you.

    Once               you're               on               tilt,               there's               no               way               you'll               play               like               your               old               self               during               the               game.

    As               long               as               you               keep               your               emotions               in               check,               you'll               be               a               better               poker               player.
                   Playing               One               Type               of               Game:               To               be               a               good               poker               player,               you               got               to               learn               how               to               play               both               no-limit               and               pot               limit               hold'em.

    Playing               one               style               will               neither               help               nor               improve               your               game.
                   Analyzing               Losses:               Let's               face               it!

    Losing               is               a               part               of               poker.

    The               best               player               will               talk               about               the               bad               beats               they               experienced.

    You               shouldn't               spend               too               much               time               dealing               with               you're               losing               hand.

    You               must               learn               from               it               and               move               on.


                   
                   Taking               the               Game               Too               Seriously:               Too               many               people               have               taken               too               seriously.

    I               see               this               as               the               biggest               cardinal               sin               in               the               game.

    1st,               poker               is               a               game,               Nothing               more,               nothing               less.

    If               you               can               enjoying               yourself               playing               it,               you               may               need               to               find               some               other               game               to               play.
                   Once               you               understand               this               basic               structure               of               the               game,               you               can               play               hold'em               and               even               some               of               the               many               hold'em               variants               out               there.

    Whether               it               be               a               casino               card               room,               online               or               your               friendly               neighborhood               game,               the               most               important               thing               about               Texas               Hold'Em               is               to               enjoy               the               game               and               shuffle               up               and               deal.

    Review of poker hand rating::does 4 of a kind beat a straight flush








    In               my               book               there               is               nothing               better               than               a               classic               movie               featuring               the               Hollywood               stars               of               yesteryear.

    Why               do               I               make               such               an               outrageous               claim?

    It               is               because               I               am               not               in               to               all               of               the               gratuitous               sex,               overt               violence               and               blood               and               gore               that               are               so               much               a               part               of               today's               films.

    As               naïve               as               it               may               be,               I               want               to               be               entertained,               amused,               tickled,               touched,               or               moved               by               the               movies               I               watch.

    I               don't               care               to               be               disgusted,               annoyed,               angry,               disillusioned               or               sickened.

    It's               that               simple!
                   With               the               rash               of               bad               films               that               Hollywood               has               put               out               in               recent               years,               I               find               myself               watching               more               and               more               of               the               classic               films.

    The               one               I               am               about               to               review               was               never               a               blockbuster               or               even               a               sleeper.

    On               the               other               hand,               it               is               fun,               funny,               sophisticated               and               entertaining.
                   The               name               of               the               film               is               "Designing               Woman"               and               is               stars               Lauren               Bacall               and               Gregory               Peck.

    Bacall               plays               Marilla               Brown,               a               fashion               designer               who               always               looks               like               she               walked               out               of               the               pages               of               Vogue               magazine.
                   Peck               plays               sports               writer,               Mike               Hagen.

    He's               a               no               nonsense,               tell               it               like               it               is               reporter               who               doesn't               think               about               the               consequences               of               his               words               when               he               sometimes               should.
                   The               two               meet               quite               by               accident               one               evening               after               Mike               wins               some               money               at               the               racetrack.

    He               offers               to               buy               everyone               drinks,               including               the               lovely               Marilla.

    But               then               he               proceeds               to               get               drunk               and               lose               track               of               his               time,               his               money               and               himself.
                   The               next               morning,               when               he               runs               into               Marilla               at               the               pool,               he               doesn't               remember               her.

    She               takes               it               matter               of               factly               and               simply               hands               him               $700;               the               money               he               had               given               her               to               hold               in               order               to               keep               himself               from               blowing               the               whole               wad.
                   One               thing               leads               to               another               and               before               long               it               becomes               obvious               the               two               are               in               love.

    They               get               married               and               return               to               New               York               to               resume               their               respective               careers.

    That               is               when               the               real               fun               begins.
                   Mike               learns               that               his               recent               columns               about               a               fighter               promoter               in               league               with               the               mob               have               put               his               life               in               jeopardy.

    At               first               he               tries               to               ignore               it               but               it               soon               becomes               obvious               that               he               cannot.
                   The               real               fun;               however,               begins               when               the               two               worlds               of               the               bride               and               groom               try               to               come               together.

    Mike               likes               poker               with               his               cronies.

    Marilla               prefers               the               company               of               vivacious               entertainment               folk.

    The               two               mix               like               oil               and               water,               which               makes               for               some               lively               moments               on               screen.
                   Then               there               is               the               old               girlfriend               Lori               Shannon               (played               by               Delores               Gray).

    The               jilted               actress               soon               becomes               a               part               of               Marilla's               crowd.

    Although,               Mike               denies               it,               Marilla               can               see               that               he               and               Lori               have               some               kind               of               connection.

    She               worries               it               might               not               be               an               old               one               and               sets               out               to               find               the               answers.
                   Mike               is               afraid               of               hurting               his               beloved               bride               so               he               does               what               men               often               do               in               that               situation               --               he               lies.

    But               every               lie               is               evident               to               Marilla,               which               makes               her               even               more               suspicious.
                   All               of               these               plots               eventually               merge               to               make               for               a               hilarious               romp               that               the               audience               gets               to               enjoy               right               along               with               the               players               themselves.

    In               particular,               the               ending               sequence               is               absolutely               hilarious.
                   Bacall               remains               true               to               herself.

    She               is               chic,               glamorous,               beautiful               and               cool.

    Yet,               she               has               masterful               comedic               timing               and               a               face               that               registers               every               emotion               with               elegance               and               grace.
                   Peck,               who               isn't               well               known               for               his               comedic               talents,               manages               to               pull               off               a               tour               de               force               performance               nonetheless.

    He               is               charming,               witty               and               sexy               without               losing               his               edge               of               aloof               restraint.
                   Gray               is               good               in               the               role               of               the               ex-girlfriend,               but               not               great.

    This               would               have               been               a               perfect               role               for               someone               with               more               comedic               charm               like               Betty               Grable               or               even               Lucille               Ball.
                   Director               Vincente               Minnelli               gets               great               performances               out               of               his               actors               across               the               board.

    He               also               milks               every               word               of               the               script               written               by               George               Wells.
                   "Designing               Woman"               is               a               good               film               but               it               isn't               a               great               one.

    It               doesn't               have               to               be.

    It               fulfills               its               goal,               which               is               to               entertain               and               there               isn't               a               thing               wrong               with               that.

    I               give               it               three               stars.
                   RATING               SCALE               USED:               
                   0               =               A               stinker.

    Don't               waste               the               money!


                   1               =               Bad.

    Rent               it               at               your               own               risk.


                   2               =               Below               average.

    See               only               if               you               have               time               to               kill.


                   2.5               =               Average.

    A               toss               up.


                   3               =               Good.

    Worth               a               looksee.


                   3.5               =               Very               Good.

    I               recommend               it.


                   4               =               Excellent.

    Don't               miss               it!


                   4.5               =               Outstanding.

    What               are               you               waiting               for?


                   5               =               Destined               to               become               a               classic.

    You               will               be               sorry               if               you               don't               see               it.
