Online Poker Room Strategy Online Poker Room Strategies In this day when gambling opportunities are branching beyond the casinos at an extreme rate, online poker has become one of the most popular interactive entertainment forms on the Internet. An August article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution cites research from Christiansen Capital Advisers (a Maine-based consulting firm) that indicates revenue from online gambling will increase from $12 billion this year to $24.5 billion in 2010. Imagine these numbers if the production of online gambling sites was legal in the United States. The popularity of online poker, sparked by live television shows, creates the desire among participants to know all the details and strategies of each game. Texas Hold’em and 5-Card Stud are the most popular poker games available online in part because of their simplicity. The following strategies must be followed to become a consistent winner. Strategies for Texas Hold’em: • Play a hand only if given good starting cards. The strength of a hand is determined by the “hole’’ cards (the two cards dealt face down at the start). If the hole cards and the first one showing appear to be useless do not take chances and place bets. The odds of winning are strongly against you. • Study the cards that were dealt or not dealt to other players. If, for example, your hole cards are a pair of face cards, and you notice that minimal high-ranking cards were dealt face up, it is safe to assume other players might have good hole cards as well. Place the amount of your bet accordingly. • If you have a high-ranking pair, and the fourth and fifth dealt cards are useless, stay in the game. The sixth and seventh rounds give you a chance for another pair, a three-of-a-kind, or a remotely possible four-of-a-kind. • If you get three cards in the same suit (i.e., King, nine and a four), it is a good idea to stay in the game even if the fourth card dealt renders useless. You need only two more cards for a flush, with three more dealt cards to get them. • Three-of-a-kinds are obviously a keeper even if they are not high-ranking cards. You have four chances to get a pair to make a full house, or get another card for a four-of-a-kind. Stay in the game until the end. Strategies for 5-Card Stud: • Like Texas Hold’em, it is essential to study your opponents’ cards. You should fold if another player’s exposed cards are very strong. You should also fold if another player’s exposed cards can beat your entire hand. • If the cards you need are visible in another player’s hand, assume that you will not attain them. • If you are trying to achieve a straight or flush, observe the other hands to see if one of the cards you need is showing. You should alter your strategy if this is the case, because the likelihood of getting a straight is much more difficult and the chance for a flush is impossible. With 5-Card Stud and Texas Hold’em, the best way to play is with patience, confidence and a sense that you are in control even though your hand might be less than desirable. If you believe you can bluff your opponent to the last card dealt, think again. High stakes are in play, as is the case with most online games, and you don’t want to lose the bank with less than your best possible hand available. Latest Poker School Articles: How to Win at Poker (NEW!) - Too many beginners at poker think of the nuts and bolts of the game, such as which hand beats another hand or is a low-ranking straight or pair worth achieving. If you are set on playing poker, especially with money involved, you should already know all about winning hand combinations. The mental approach to the game is what sets the professionals apart from the rest. The following are five tips to winning poker, and you will be surprised that most of them deal with the psychological aspects of the game and the ability to play alongside your competition with confidence and the right attitude... 3 Card Poker Strategy - Like poker but do not want to spend the time learning everything about all those five- or seven-card stud or draw games? Are you not interested in trying to remember what ranks higher – does a flush beat a straight or vice-versa? – and want to play a simple, yet fun poker game? More importantly, do you want to play a poker game in which you have better odds than most games to beat the house? Three-Card Poker is for you. Here are some of the more interesting features about Three-Card Poker... Texas Holdem Poker Strategies - Texas Hold’em might seem like an easy game, but plenty of strategy and thought must go into executing a winning hand. It’s OK to be daring at the poker table with a bluff, if you are playing five- or seven-card draw with your cards covered. The same can not be said for Texas Hold’em, considering five cards are showing from the three-card Flop, and two from the Turn and River (the last two dealt). If you call to the end, consider that 71 percent of your hand (five out of seven cards) are showing. Why even try to bluff? To go that far with a growing pot, you must feel confident you have a winning hand. Trickery is out of the question with the amount you will be betting at that point. The Flop (three cards shown face up after the opening round of two cards are dealt face down) is when the major decisions must be made...
