In Poker, your opponents are like dead men walking. You will never know what really their emotions are when it comes to playing. Poker face is what they called it. The true intention of every player is hidden in order to deliver efficiently their bluffs to each of his or her opponents. Like in actual casino gaming, there is a need in online casino gaming strategy to win the pot money and prevent as much as possible, other players to have the chance of winning. Aside from that, the tension that is built while playing online casino games (e.g. Poker) is just similar to actual casino gaming.

Because of the little chances to get the highest pair or combination of cards in Poker, bluffing is used to confuse the opponents. Raising the bet is usually the risky thing to do especially when the cards you got are of low value, however, it can be a tool to know if your opponents are courageous enough to bet and see if they can do bluffing. Moreover, you can also confuse your opponents by being lame at first and, then, attack afterwards. This is the common strategy of players in online casinos because for the fact that you cannot see each other, so the more aggressive they became.

For final matters, online casinos are good programs to play your favorite casino game applications. Aside from Poker, there are other online casino games available.

Answer 1:

You call and you’re playing your JJ in a 7-way pot (assuming the AA wasn’t out there, which you didn’t know at the time), against the usual A-rag and K-rag hands. Is that what you wanted? I think you have to make a big raise when you did to either win the pot there or play against 1 or 2 opponents. If not, unless you flop a jack or no over cards, where do you go with the hand?

Answer 2:

Then you should read your book more carefully. Yet another case of result orientation. Could you have folded without the revealed AA? Should you (depends on who raised the 50)? Could he have gone “near all-in” without a hand that beat JJ? Did the odds compensate for you going for a n-outer? Etc. Will you fold JJ to a re-raise when you play Daniel?

Answer 3:

That’s what I was thinking when I made the re-raise. But, I think the limp-re-raise by the UTG player should have been a big warning flag for me. I did have a reason to suspect AA but I just didn’t process that information correctly is what I’m thinking. I’d played with some of these players before — but not that player. And, hadn’t played pot limit with any of them before. Before that hand I had the UTG player pegged as one of the better players at the table. His turning up his AA because he didn’t want me to call changed that assessment, but at the time he made the limp-re-raise I think I should have given more weight to the chance he had AA.

Answer 1:

With some chagrin, I’ll speak up and say, “I was that dealer”. It occurs to me now that rather than the house putting up the kill money, it would have been better to have the player post a kill on a future hand (but not one of the next two hands which would be his blind hands).

Answer 2:

Although then he would be posting it on his button and have the benefit of position. Maybe he could post it 10 hands later when under the gun again but I wouldn’t count on the dealer to remember it. Why kills are so popular in O-8 anyway, do they really add anything to the game? Dennis (I’d rather play Omaha than deal it) Cartwright.

Answer 3:

With two different color drawing tickets, names being called during hands, the typical commotion of Omaha/8, and food being served, several dealers failed to give a scooper the 1/2 kill button yesterday. The difference was in every other instance the players at the table caught the omission prior to the next hand. My question goes past the first ruling. After the floor made the ruling that the $5 would come from the tray (Dennis’ after the fact ruling is better in my opinion — although the player would gain from position behind the button instead of under the gun) what should he have ruled on whether the player “skates” on making up the $5 post? I’ll tell RGP what Pete ruled after we get some thoughts on what the correct ruling should have been. By the way, Dennis deals at Texas Station. RGP fields a lot of questions on the best places to play low limit in Vegas. I have played at T. S. the last two weekends and the Omaha/8 game is player friendly ($23.47 per hour/15 hours … and I write much better than I play). Yesterday, they spread stud, Omaha/8, HE, and draw high. Comp food (fruit, salad, and a main dish or two) is brought in at lunch and again at about 5:45 p.m. Yesterday we had Salisbury steak and barbecue beef for lunch and hot dogs and chicken wings for dinner. Not 5* cuisine, but aside from a five minute rush when the food arrives, it keeps the game together. Texas won “Best Poker Room” in the Las Vegas Review Journal poll and Robert Latch (new mgr.) is doing everything he can to make sure T. S. stays #1.

Answer 1:

My personal opinion…..if you’re not willing to play big suited connectors, then you should find another table. Even middle suited connectors. Or any two big suited cards. I don’t like Ax in a game like this, because it sounds like our opponents are playing any ace and you’ll be outkicked. If AK,AQ, etc. doesn’t improve it’s not going to win. With that many people in the pot….somebody’s going to get some piece of the flop. Not much bluffing in a game like this. You almost have to look at it like there’s an ante of big blind x 4 to play a hand. So given that, what hands do you want to play for those stakes. If you can only name 3 or 4 hands…..then you need to find another game.

Answer 2:

One school of thought says simply wait for AA KK, QQ, or AKs. Same authors that give this advice say they realize this is a stupid way to play poker. An important question would be is post-flop play as wild as pre-flop play? I’ve seen some games where on average 7 players see every flop for one or two raises, but only 3 players see the turn card and one caller on the river. If the game is like this, where whoever hits the flop wins very few bets after the flop, it’s more of a crap shoot than a poker game, and you have to play very tight pre-flop. Big pairs (nines would be my cut-off) are what you want. AK is good, AQ is borderline, AJ is not worth it. Being suited helps only a little. AJs, KQs are borderline hands. If the table is full of true maniacs who cap it every round with even the slightest hope of winning, you can actually loosen up and add medium pairs (down to fives) and medium suited connectors (down to 45s) when you have position. You must tighten up on the flop now. It is tempting to put in 5 more small bets with 8c7c and a flop of 8h9h2c but don’t. If you make a very strong hand, don’t bother to bet/raise it until at least the turn. For the second type of game you need a much larger bankroll than normal. If I knew ahead of time a 4-8 game was that wild I would buy in for $500, and be prepared to buy for another $500 if my stack got below $200. If you can’t afford that find another game. This is a very debateable topic and I’m sure others will disagree with my advice.

Answer 3:

I played in a 3/6 game very similar to your table of maniacs this weekend. The advantage I had was that I had to railbird for about 20 minutes before a seat opened up. During that time I was thinking about how the play would be different from a loose-PASSIVE game that usually takes place at these lower limits. I was observing the hands that were played and determined that I would have to either: a) play looser and risk a bigger variance or, b) play tighter and spend a lot of time folding otherwise playable hands. I chose b. Looking a the size of the pots, I figured that I would have about the same hourly rate by playing less hands and significantly reduce my bankroll variance. To do this, however, I would need to get a fair amount of strong hands. Obviously. I threw away some pretty good hands, that I would have played in a “normal” game. Many times I was glad I did, because with that many players seeing the flop – it would hit a few of them. And, it did. I saw hands like 89s win (trip 8′s – on the river), 46o would make a straight, etc. You get the idea. I played a very tight-aggressive game and after about 7 hours came out about 15% better than I usually do against my hourly rate. I played about 60% FEWER hands. Perhaps, I got more than my share of winning hands – who knows? It was a lot harder to play, I know that. One might argue that it isn’t fun. I’d suggest that it offers an opportunity to learn how to adapt to the table conditions. Changing up your usual style is a great learning experience. I wouldn’t want a steady diet of this type of play, however, I believe I came out better for the experience.

Answer 1:

You’re going to get people to dump those, easy. I think the last one is Tony Holden’s Big Deal
Answer 2:

I’ve been able to find quite a few poker books on eBay. I recently bought Anthony Holden’s “Big Deal”, as well as Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players by Sklansky, Malmuth, and Zee. I believe there is currently an auction going on right now for Sklansky’s “The Theory of Poker”, although it might be over
now. Anyway, I would check eBay on a weekly basis, as there are always more auctions being added. Actually, I just found the auction for Caro’s “Book of Tells”.

Answer 3:
Why should, you need this? Do you think it’s possible to study poker through reading? You can only study poker through playing it.

Answer 1:

The differences are in how to think about the game. In pot limit, concepts related to implied odds, position, and pot-size manipulation are more important than in limit.

Answer 2:

You got to be tighter in Pot than limit. In cash pot limit you catch the wrong part of the flop you can be taken to the cleaners if you don’t release it.

Answer 3:

I don’t really agree with that, but it’s just my opinion, certainly not gospel. In pot limit, you want to play hands that will either lose a little or win a lot. I play PL with some very tight players, and they don’t win much. I know I see more flops in PL than limit. When the situation is right, and you can limp in with a big drawing hand, or the pot odds and implied odds from a couple of players calling a pre-flop raise justify it, you want to play hands that can flop big. If you play JT, and the flop comes Jxx, you’re in jeopardy and have to play it very carefully, even though you might have the best hand at that moment. I’d much prefer a flop like A98 rainbow. I have a big draw and the possibility of at least one ace out there to pay me off if I hit. So, maybe not as tight pre-flop, but tighter on the flop if you get a piece of it with a vulnerable hand.

Answer 1:

The rules are:
Everyone antes. Then, most of the people at the table give their money to John Hartzell. After that, John leaves and goes to the Bike. There, the pattern is repeated. No seriously…it’s 5-card stud. There’s a joker. The deck is stripped of 8s, 9s, and tens. Straights beat flushes (7J are connectors). You get a card up and a card down. On each round, you can choose to receive your new card up, or to expose your hole card and receive your card down. If the joker is dealt to you down, it’s wild. If it’s dealt up, it’s a bug. (Ace or completes a straight or flush).

Answer 2:

I ran into him a couple of times during the Bike’s MSOP event, and played some live no-limit with him at the Bike a couple weeks ago. And he came to our RGP home game this past Saturday. So yeah, he’s around.

Answer 3:

You’re not allowed to throw your chips over the betting line. They have to sneak past.

Answer 3:
Depends on how the rake is taken for one thing, but I figure I deal 80% or so more Holdem hands an hour than Omaha. In a tournament situation I would expect 60 Holdem ands an hour (at the TOC, with it’s big digital countdown clock going, the hands took almost exactly sixty seconds), and 32 or so in Omaha.
