Bad Poker Pays

admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:54:55 +0000

Winning at poker means making correct decisions about which cards to play and how to bet them. However, sometimes it pays to intentionally play the cards badly in order to influence your opponents’ thinking about your play.

Intentionally making one or two bad plays that will not cost you many chips can set the stage for your poker opponents to make wrong assumptions about your skill level and the hand ranges you typically choose. You can establish an image that makes them think you’ll always call even with bad hands so they will continue to bet against you when you are in fact holding a monster hand.

For example, you are in early position with raggy suited cards, such as 7-3h. Most smart poker online players would fold this hand pre-flop. But if you can call with one bet, and can see the flop, go for it. Perhaps the flop brings a 3 along with an Ace-10. Call or check your low pair on the turn and river to go to showdown even when the board shows scare cards such as a connected straight. Your opponents will see that you stuck with the small pair despite the evidence that you were beat.

In this instance, you’ve created an image as a passive calling station, which will encourage your opponents to bet against you. This could set you up to win a bigger pot later in the game when you do hit a monster hand.

Sometimes playing a few hands badly (and cheaply) early in a session pays dividends later.

Trips or a Set?

admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:20:41 +0000

A poker online hand with three matched cards is a strong contender for the pot. In Texas Hold ‘Em poker online , players who make three matched cards on the flop are usually happy with the online poker hand and will bet it. However, there are actually two types of three-card hands – trips and a set. Trips occur when one of a player’s pocket cards matches two paired cards on board. It is a strong hand, especially with a good kicker. And it can always improve to a full house or even quads. Trips are vulnerable though since each player can see the paired board and will probably fold to any bet if the flop did not connect with their hands. Trips made with a paired board are less likely to build big pots. When a player is holding a pocket pair that completes to three on the flop, it is a set, which is more powerful hand than trips because it is hidden. A board that makes a set out of pocket 3s may not look threatening at all and players who have paired an Ace or other high face on board may continue betting into the pot. A set can be played more deceptively than trips since it is hidden, and a set is more likely to let a player keep opponents betting into a pot to make it bigger.

Seven Card Stud Poker

admin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:15:40 +0000

Seven card stud is an immensely popular variation of poker. Two down cards and one up card are dealt to each poker player. Then four more cards are dealt, three up and the last one down, with a betting turn after each card. Each player makes the best five-card hand out of the seven that they’re dealt. Seven card stud is a fun version for several reasons, not the least of which is the amount of rounds of betting. The five rounds of betting add another layer of strategy to the more common four rounds. Also, the additional round adds a bit more intrigue to the pot as well.

Strategy changes as well, since each poker player’s up cards gives you an insight into what each player may or may not be holding. An ability to quickly scan each player’s up cards and deduce his hole cards is a huge asset in this version of poker. Players who are used to Texas Hold ‘Em may find the lack of common cards to be disorienting, as they have to evaluate different up cards for each player, rather than the same five for each one. With a bit of practice, you should be able to pick up on the changes and adjust your play accordingly.
