I               think               free               rolls               are               your               best               pet               if               you               want               to               try               to               win               some               real               money               but               that's               not               the               point               of               poker.

Poker               is               a               professional               game               with               professional               champions               and               people               who               win               big.
               Famous               poker               champions               like               Phil               Ivey,               nicknamed               the               "Tiger               Woods               of               poker"               play               the               game               as               if               it               were               a               professional               sport               and               like               a               professional               sport,               if               they               are               a               1st               draft               pick               or               the               MVP,               they               make               gain               worldwide               fame               and               recognition.

To               make               a               long               story               short,               poker               is               a               card               game,               there               are               many               variations               of               the               game               but               the               most               common               is               hold               em               or               Texas               hold               em.

Players               get               a               hand               or               two               cards               and               than               either               bet,               check,               raise,               or               fold               what               they               have.
               We               then               see               a               flop               or               three               face               up               cards               on               the               table.

The               key               point               here               is               do               you               have               a               match               with               cards               from               your               hand               to               the               cards               on               the               flop.

Now               there               is               a               hierarchy               of               possible               poker               hands.

Those               range               anywhere               from               a               high               card               pair               which               simply               means               the               highest               card               pair               you               may               have               such               as               Ace               King               to               the               highest               on               the               ladder,               the               Royal               Flush.
               Here               is               a               helpful               guide               about               the               hands               of               poker.

It               gives               a               description               of               a               hand               along               with               an               image               of               how               to               get               that               hand.
               www.pokerstars.com/poker/games/rules/hand-rankings/
               All               of               that               is               only               the               tip               of               the               iceberg               when               it               comes               to               poker               and               there               are               much               more               complexities               in               regards               to               betting,               raising,               checking,               and               folding               but               again,               if               you               want               to               start               playing               this               casino               favorite,               check               out               PokerStars,               Full               Tilt,               or               other               free               poker               sites               to               learn               from               the               best.
               Is               Poker               a               Game               of               Luck               or               Skill?
               Good               question.

So               does               winning               a               tournament               involve               getting               the               right               hands               or               winning               a               huge               hand               on               the               river               (the               last               card               drawn               out               of               the               five               from               the               flop).

Is               it               folding               every               hand               until               you               get               those               precious               pocket               kings               or               queens               (two               kings               or               two               aces               in               your               hand)?

Perhaps               it's               getting               the               right               flop               (first               three               cards               drawn               on               the               table)               and               matching               your               hand               to               the               cards               on               the               flop.
               Some               people               think               that               it               has               a               lot               more               to               do               with               how               you               play               rather               than               what               you               get.

Indeed               to               win               big               hands               even               if               your               playing               with               friends               at               home               is               to               play               smart.

Bet               or               raise               when               you               have               a               good               chance               of               having               the               best               hand,               fold               if               you               have               a               bad               hand,               or               try               to               trap               a               player               by               checking.

When               an               amateur               poker               player               has               the               best               hand,               they               usually               don't               do               a               very               good               job               at               concealing               it.

I               should               know.
               When               I               first               started               playing               poker               with               some               friends,               whenever               I               got               pocket               kings               or               aces,               my               expression               gave               it               away               immediately.

Than               I               started               raising               or               going               all               in               (putting               all               your               chips               in)               to               try               to               win               some               chips.

Well               either               they               folded               immediately               or               I               only               won               a               few               chips               thus               wasting               my               perfect               hand.
               Lady               Gaga's               "Poker               Face"               says               it               all               (great               song               by               the               way).

If               you               play               with               someone               face               to               face,               you               have               to               be               an               actor               and               hide               your               emotions.

A               lot               of               beginners               get               really               excited               when               they               have               a               strong               hand               with               a               great               flop.

Bad               idea               if               you               want               to               win               big.

Just               remain               calm,               cool,               and               collected.

Instead               of               betting               right               away,               why               not               check               and               see               if               others               bet.

Don't               raise               too               high               or               other               players               will               suspect               something.
               Wear               sunglasses               if               you               have               to,               change               around               your               expressions               to               confuse               other               players               but               most               importantly               wear               your               poker               face               well.
               People               usually               think               poker               champions               are               just               lucky
               I               guess               if               people               keep               getting               pocket               aces               and               having               flushes               and               straight               (click               link               at               beginning               to               know               more)               than               they               may               win               a               lot               of               money.

Yet               how               come               we               have               poker               champions               that               constantly               beat               out               hundreds               and               thousands               of               other               players               to               get               to               the               final               table               and               even               win.

Why               do               we               have               great               poker               pros               such               as               Phil               Ivey,               Daniel               Negreanu,               Jamie               Gold,               or               Scotty               Nguyen.

               Does               it               mean               they               they               always               get               the               perfect               hands               or               get               lucky               on               the               river               or               is               there               something               more.

People               who               lose               a               lot               of               hands               would               probably               think               the               former               and               that               it's               just               luck.

Those               who               win               and               play               a               lot               such               as               I               do               know               that               poker               is               just               as               much               skill               as               it               is               luck.
               It's               about               slow               playing               your               "straight",               "checking"               your               pocket               aces,               or               painfully               having               to               fold               your               pocket               kings               or               ace-king               due               to               a               bad               flop.

It's               about               being               gutsy               and               betting               a               lot               of               chips               hoping               your               opponent               folds               even               though               you               had               nothing.

It's               about               knowing               when               to               bet,               when               to               raise,               how               much,               and               which               hands               to               play.

Just               because               you               have               2-3               for               a               hand               doesn't               mean               you               should               automatically               fold.

Surprises               come               often               and               your               biggest               pot               win               may               come               from               your               worst               hand.
               So               is               poker               a               game               of               luck               or               skill?

That's               ultimately               for               you               to               decide.

For               me,               it's               a               combination               of               both               not               to               mention               playing               with               intelligence.

Fold               when               you               have               to               and               play               the               right               hands.

You               can't               always               play               with               a               2-3               and               expect               to               win               just               because               it               worked               out               one               time.

You               can't               expect               to               win               just               because               you               have               pocket               aces.

Poker               doesn't               work               like               that.
               Luck               is               definitely               a               key               to               poker,               I               would               be               lying               if               I               told               you               it               wasn't.

If               you               have               an               amazing               hand               plus               flop               and               somebody               puts               you               all               in               so               you               have               to               call.

Than               the               other               player               gets               a               runner               runner               (the               fourth               and               fifth               or               final               card               on               the               flop)               and               knocks               you               out               on               the               river,               well               that's               just               really               bad               luck               for               you.
               Luck               can               be               good               as               well.

Say               you               are               put               all-in               and               have               a               very               bad               hand               and               a               bad               flop               but               than               with               the               the               fourth               and               fifth               cards               drawn,               you               get               exactly               what               you               need               and               win.

Well               than               you               just               got               lucky.

So               try               things               out,               be               creative,               play               some               bad               hands               and               some               good               hands,               get               gutsy               and               bluff               (a               fake               out)               if               you               can.

Poker               is               a               fun               game               to               try               out               and               the               next               time               you               go               to               a               casino               or               Las               Vegas,               try               it               out.

If               you               don't               like               it,               you               don't               have               to               play               it               but               I               believe               it               is               and               will               always               be               the               King               of               All               Card               Games.
               Hints,               Tricks,               and               Tips
               1.

Don't               play               every               hand
               Some               are               good,               some               are               bad,               but               trying               to               play               every               hand               and               hopefully               getting               lucky               is               not               the               way               to               go.

Chances               are               you'll               lose               most               of               your               chips               before               you               ever               get               that               lucky               flop               on               your               2-3               hand.
               2.

Analyze               the               possibilities
               Look               at               the               flop,               look               at               your               hand,               and               try               to               figure               out               how               others               could               win.

Are               there               three               suited               (a               club,               diamond,               heart,               or               spade)               cards               on               the               flop               and               someone               may               have               flopped               a               flush.

Maybe               there               is               a               king,               ten,               jack               on               the               flop               and               someone               has               a               queen-ace               in               their               hand               so               they               have               a               straight.
               Think               about               all               the               possible               ways               someone               could               win               and               use               that               to               your               advantage.
               3.

Use               the               raises,               checks,               and               bets               to               your               advantage
               If               you               know               you               have               the               best               hand               with               the               best               flop,               don't               reveal               it.

Check               and               let               others               bet               and               raise.

This               is               called               slow               playing               your               hand.

Do               you               want               to               win               100               chips               or               1000               chips?

Try               to               wring               out               as               much               as               you               can.

Bet               low               amounts,               only               raise               a               little               bit.

Downplay               your               hand               to               your               opponents               and               let               them               guide               you.
               4.

Don't               be               complacent,               play               smart,               and               realize               that               luck               is               not               always               on               your               side
               I               had               pocket               aces               in               a               game               I               was               playing,               naturally               I               was               happy               on               the               inside               because               I               knew               I               had               the               best               hand.

The               flop               comes               and               lo               and               behold,               another               ace.

Now               I               had               trips               and               I               know               I               won.

So               I               raise               a               bet               a               little               bit,               someone               raises               me,               I               raise               them               back.

The               4th               card               comes,               a               deuce               (2)               of               hearts,               big               deal.

The               guy               raises               me               and               I               go               all-in               so               he               calls.

The               last               card               is               a               3               of               hearts.

We               show               our               hands               and               I               lose.
               How               could               I               lose               with               pocket               aces?

My               opponent               won               with               a               flush               and               I               was               knocked               out               of               a               tournament.

So               the               thing               to               realize               is               that               sometimes               even               if               you               think               you               have               the               best               hand,               it               might               now               always               be               the               case.

The               goal               is               to               play               your               best               and               hope               for               the               best.

Don't               give               up               if               you               get               unlucky,               keep               trying,               maybe               bluff               them               out               next               time.

Just               don't               give               up               so               easily,               don't               quit.

    Review of hand ranking poker::How to Play Texas Hold Em Poker








    I               grew               up               in               a               large,               extended               family               of               aunts,               uncles               and               cousins               who               liked               to               get               together               on               occasion               to               play               poker,               usually               for               pennies               or               a               nickel.

    From               the               age               of               12,               we               sat               at               the               table               with               the               grown-ups               and               were               subject               to               the               same               rules               as               everyone               else.

    Thus,               I               learned               very               early               the               game               of               poker,               and               will               pass               this               on               to               those               who               are               new               at               the               game               and               unfamiliar               with               the               value               of               particular               hands.

    Whether               you               are               playing               stud               poker               or               Omaha               poker               or               Texas               Hold               'em,               five               cards               constitute               a               hand.

    It               is               important               to               learn               the               rank               of               a               poker               hand               as               the               ranking               is               always               the               same.
                   The               following               poker               hands               are               ranked               from               highest               to               lowest.
                   1.

    Royal               Flush               -               The               highest               possible               hand               in               poker.
                   If               you               have               an               ace,               king,               queen,               jack               and               ten               all               in               the               same               suit,               you               have               a               royal               flush               and               you               will               win               the               hand.

    If               another               player               also               has               the               same               hand               in               another               suit,               you               will               split               the               pot.

    The               probability               of               making               a               royal               flush               is               extremely               low               which               is               why               it               has               a               high               value.
                   2.

    Straight               Flush               -               The               second               highest               possible               hand               in               poker               beats               any               hand               except               a               royal               flush.

    You               will               also               beat               a               straight               flush               whose               highest               card               is               not               as               high               as               a               ten,               such               as               a               run               of               six,               five,               four,               three               and               two               of               the               same               suit.
                   3.

    Four               of               a               Kind               -               The               third               highest               possible               hand               in               poker               beats               any               hand               ranked               below               four               of               a               kind.
                   If               you               have               four               jacks,               for               instance,               your               jacks               will               beat               any               other               hand               with               four               of               a               kind               from               four               tens               on               down.

    If               another               player               had               four               aces               or               kings               or               queens,               you               would               be               outranked               and               would               lose.
                   4.

    Full               House               -               The               fourth               highest               possible               hand               in               poker               will               beat               any               hand               ranked               below               a               full               house.
                   A               full               house               consists               of               three               of               a               kind               plus               a               pair.

    If               you               have               three               queens               and               a               pair               of               fours,               you               will               beat               any               hand               with               three               jacks               on               down               plus               any               pair,               even               if               the               pair               is               higher               than               a               four.

    However,               if               your               opponent's               full               house               has               three               kings               or               three               aces,               you               will               lose.
                   5.

    Flush               -               The               fifth               highest               possible               hand               in               poker               will               beat               any               hand               ranked               below               a               flush.
                   If               you               have               five               cards               of               the               same               suit,               such               as               the               ten,               seven,               four,               three               and               two               of               diamonds,               you               have               a               flush               which               will               beat               any               hand               lower               than               a               flush.

    However,               if               another               player               has               a               flush               with               a               card               higher               than               your               ten               (jack,               queen,               king               or               ace),               the               other               player               wins               regardless               of               which               suit               he               holds.
                   6.

    Straight               -               Five               cards               of               any               suit               in               sequential               order.

    A               straight               only               beats               any               hand               ranked               below               a               straight.

                   7.

    Three               of               a               Kind               -               Three               cards               of               the               same               value               will               beat               any               hand               ranked               below               three               of               a               kind.
                   If               you               have               three               kings,               you               will               also               win               over               another               player               who               has               three               of               a               kind               lower               than               a               king.
                   8.

    Two               pair               -               Two               pair               of               two               cards               having               the               same               value               beats               any               combination               ranked               lower               than               two               pair.
                   If               you               have               two               jacks               and               two               sevens,               you               will               win               this               hand               over               another               player               who               has               two               tens               and               two               nines.

    Only               the               highest               pair               counts               as               the               winner.

    However,               if               another               player               has               two               kings               and               two               threes,               the               other               player               will               win.

                   If               another               player               has               a               higher               pair               than               you,               such               as               two               eights               to               your               two               fours,               the               other               player               wins.

    Review of poker rankings hand::How to Read Poker Players








    Nobody               can               argue               that               poker               has               had               a               true               renaissance               in               the               past               several               years.

    It               used               to               be               known               as               a               game               that               "seedy"               people               played               and               wasn't               always               played               in               circles               that               practiced               honesty.

    Well               with               the               popularity               the               World               Series               Of               Poker               has               received               on               television               all               that               has               changed.

    Will               there               be               another               card               game               that               has               a               renaissance               in               the               coming               years?

    If               so               could               it               be               bridge?

    Bridge               is               a               card               game               played               in               which               two               sets               of               partners               play               against               each               other.

    The               partners               first               try               to               get               "the               contract"               by               outbidding               their               opponents.

    Then               they               try               to               get               the               most               tricks.

    Might               sound               simple,               but               see               here's               the               trick               ....

    the               most               popular               form               of               bridge               is               "duplicate".
                   In               duplicate               bridge               you               have               at               least               two               tables               in               a               room.

    One               pair               sits               in               the               north-south               direction,               and               the               other               in               east-west               direction               at               each               table.

    I               will               give               a               simplified               version               of               the               scoring               here.

    Both               tables               play               the               same               hand,               and               there               is               a               way               to               score               each               hand               based               on               the               contract               and               how               many               tricks               the               pair               that               gets               the               contract               takes.

    Instead               of               competing               against               the               other               pair               at               your               table               though,               you               are               trying               to               do               better               than               the               pair               at               the               other               table               sitting               the               same               direction               as               you               are.

    Remember               you               are               playing               the               same               hand!
                   As               I               said,               that               is               a               very               basic               explanation               of               the               scoring,               typically               there               are               anywhere               from               4               to               18               tables               in               a               bridge               game               at               a               club.

    So               you               could               be               competing               against               17               other               pairs               on               each               hand!

    This               article               though               isn't               about               all               the               rules               and               strategies               there               are               books               over               hundred               of               pages               written               on               the               subject!
                   I               am               trying               to               decide               if               I               think               Bridge               could               become               popular               with               the               late               teen               and               20's               crowd.

    I               think               it               has               potential               because               of               the               ability               to               bluff               in               the               game               just               like               poker,               and               also               the               competitiveness               when               playing               with               a               large               group               at               a               club.

    There               are               different               rankings               you               get               as               you               earn               "masterpoints"               based               on               how               you               finish               in               tournaments.

    These               masterpoints               allow               you               to               compare               yourself               with               other               players               around               the               world.

    They               even               have               "stratified"               tournaments               where               you               compete               against               people               of               your               same               level               and               can               finish               in               that               level               and               any               above               it,               but               the               the               people               in               higher               levels               can               not               place               in               the               levels               below               them.
                   The               challenge               of               moving               up               the               ranks               could               be               appealing               to               many               out               there.

    My               only               concern               is               the               time               it               takes               to               play,               a               typical               bridge               game               played               at               a               club               or               tournament               will               take               3-4               hours               to               play.

    A               hand               usually               takes               about               8-10               minutes.

    The               other               issue               with               Bridge               is               the               fact               that               if               you               notice               there               are               a               lot               of               books               on               the               subject.

    This               is               because               it               is               a               very               complex               game               with               bidding               and               play               strategies.

    Will               a               large               audience               be               willing               to               study               the               strategies               enough               for               it               to               explode               in               popularity?
                   Well,               I               think               the               chances               of               this               happening               unfortunately               are               very               slim.

    I               think               the               advantage               for               poker               was               that               it               was               a               simple               basic               strategy               to               learn               and               play               the               basics               and               develop               your               own               strategy.

    Unfortunately               for               Bridge,               the               basic               strategy               and               learning               curve               is               steep               enough               that               it               will               probably               chase               off               the               casual               card               fan               from               learning               the               game.
                   If               it               is               marketed               properly               I               think               Bridge's               popularity               can               increase               with               the               younger               crowd,               but               I               don't               think               it               will               ever               rival               the               renaissance               poker               has               experienced.
