Poker Strategy |
Poker is a game
of money played with cards; it's not a game of pots
played with money. It's also a game of skill, not
of chance, and players who go at it solely by the
seat of their pants stand no more chance of winning
at poker than they do at roulette. Without a solid
basis for making decisions about whether to check,
call, fold, raise, or re-raise, you might just as
well play the lottery. Winning poker players understand
and apply strategic concepts.
-
The
players make their Pair Plus and Ante bets. Either
one or both bets may be made.
-
The
dealer deals three cards to each player and himself.
After you look at your three cards, you must decide
whether you wish to "play" the hand or
fold and take no further part in this hand. If you
fold, you lose your ante bet.
-
To
stay in the hand, you make a bet in the Play box
equal to your ante bet. Now you are in the games
and playing against the dealer.
-
After
all the players have made their decisions, the dealer
turns over his three cards and determines whether
he has a qualifying hand. If the dealer does not
have at least a queen-high or better hand, the players
win the ante bets and have their play bets returned.
If the dealer qualifies with queen-high or better,
he settles all the hands.
In
a dealer-qualifying hand, if your hand is better than
the dealer's, you collect even money on the ante and
play bets. If not, you lose both bets. Note that even
if you lose both the ante and play bets with an inferior
hand, you do collect a bonus on the ante bet even
with a losing hand.
