Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Rules

Posted in Casino Tips on April 17, 2012 by admin

Poker comes in many different varieties. One popular variety that can be found at many online casinos is Texas Hold ‘Em. This variation is quite easy to learn.

The game of Texas Hold ‘Em commences with two bets known as blinds being made. The player to the left of the dealer will post a small blind and the person beside him will post the big blind. All players must then put in the same wager as the big blind in order to remain in that hand.

The dealer then gives every player two face down cards known as the hole. Another round of betting follows the dealing of the hole. This round of betting is known as the pre-flop betting. Basically, players are deciding if their hole hand is worth sticking in the game to see the flop. The flop occurs when the three community cards are dealt face up on the table. This is a pivotal moment in Texas Hold ‘Em as players will have the most cards revealed to them at one time.

After the flop occurs, players then make another round of wagers. After betting ends, one more community card is revealed on the table. This event in the game of Texas Hold ‘Em is known as the turn. More betting continues at this point. After which the fifth and final community card is shown. This event in the game of Texas Hold ‘Em poker is called the river. Some many call it the fifth street but the term river is much more popular. At this point the fifth and last round of betting happens. After betting, there is a showdown where the players still in the game reveal their best five card poker hand. The same poker rankings apply.

The Craze of Online Casino Games

Posted in Casino Tips on April 8, 2012 by admin

The introduction of the online casino is a treat to every gambling enthusiast. The higher level of odds in your favor entices one to enjoy the game they love while earning huge winnings. The convenience and excitement that it offers is very hard to refuse. Thus, it is not s surprise that millions and millions are addicted to this craze. So, if you have decided to sign up and beat the online casino world, you must necessarily do your part. You must aptly educate yourself with the different aspects of the online gaming world.

Foremost, you must be aware of the wide range of games offered online. This is for you to identify which one you would like to learn and master. Table games online are popular and of course inspired by its real world counterpart. The most common in the list that is being offered are keno, baccarat, backgammon and roulette. The latter is of two types: the American and the European. One very noticeable difference between the two is that European roulette wheels has one zero in it while American comes in double zero. All of these games primarily rely on luck in order to win.

Another popular pick in most of online casinos are card games. In these games, you will be able to showcase strategy and ability and get the chance to compete against other online gamblers. The most popular of this kind is poker and blackjack. In the latter winning is faster, as you only need to get two cards that will equal to 21 and you can only beat the dealer and this can be done repeatedly in just one sitting. The poker on the contrary is so time consuming and need lots of strategy. The aim is to get the best hand, otherwise a player can be eliminated and the remaining will be the one to continue the game until the unbeatable player prevails. This means that a player can only win once for every game session.

Slot games are also hit in the online gambling world. This is very ideal especially when you are at home. Like its traditional counterpart, slot machine online is a random game.

There is even an auto-play feature where you can watch and enjoy as you win the huge prices. This game also has a heavy reliance on luck.

Security issues have been the constant argument against online casino. This is a type of business that includes million of dollars in transaction. The provider of this service all caters for clients located in different parts of the world. Thus, in choosing your online casino provider, go for that one which has excellent software that ensures that your information and financial dealings with them goes through a very secure gateway and encrypted. The provider must have a reputation for having the best design in the management and maintenance of level of security of their clients.

Interview with a Guy in Poker Player

Posted in Casino Tips with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on January 27, 2012 by admin

I happened to be reading an interview with a guy in Poker player, who believes that the way to attract sponsors to Poker, is to enforce a dress code, which includes wearing long pants and a shirt with a collar. That is one of the most ridiculous statements I ever read. I ALWAYS play in short pants and a t shirt or a swear shirt, and own very few shirts with a collar. My friend tuna always wears a t-shirt. I rarely see Kathy L. in anything but a sweatshirt. There are many others who dress as I do, and most of them look fine. There are many other more important ways to attract sponsors, rather then try to enforce some silly dress code. Every Day I see men who wear ties, and I wonder what the function of a tie is, other then to make you feel uncomfortable. Who ever heard of dressed up Hippy anyway?

Answer 1:

Surely the creator of this dress code realizes that it MUST contain an important exception: THE HIPPIE EXEMPTION – Anyone who possesses a nickname beginning with “Hippie” (or “hippy”), and who has simultaneously become an institution in the poker world, in some part as a function of said nickname and adherence to standards of attire which reasonable people would associate with said nickname, is exempted from the long pants and collared shirt requirement contained in this dress code. (The same exemption applies to anyone whose nickname begins with “Tee-shirt”.)

Answer 2:

I am the guy who has set a dress code for the final table of the TOC. I do not consider our dress code a violation of anyone’s freedom. We are filming this event and plan to present the tape to potential sponsors. We are also hopeful that television is interested airing TOC 2000. Pro golfers are not allowed to wear shorts or T-shirts on the PGA Tour or make any “deals” in case there is a playoff. Why do you suppose that is? The dress code will only be enforced at the final table of the TOC. (We also are not
allowing headsets to be worn at the final table, something else that may be viewed by some as a violation of their freedom.) For those who do not want to abide by the regulations we have established, they certainly have the right to choose not to play.
Answer 3:

For championship events why not have the players at a final table have a Las Vegas casino or something sponsor them and they could sit there in those outfits that race car drivers wear, with the name of the hotel/casino all over the place. No helmet of course.

Hold’em versus Seven Card Stud

Posted in Casino Tips with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on January 27, 2012 by admin

Just a question. In hold’em players are blinded out if they are gone too long from a table. How is that done in seven card stud?

Answer 1:

Ante them out. I’m assuming this is a question for tournament structures, as in a ring game you’d just receive a missed blind button in a flop game, and nothing besides potential rude comments from your opponents in a stud game.

Answer 2:

Some casinos give a button every time a dealer changes (usually about 20 minutes), After two or three dealers, they are pulled.

Answer 3:

The rule is made by the poker room. In a non-tournament game, I’ve seen the first player get 30 minutes, the second one to leave get 15 minutes away before their seat is forfeited. Some rooms have shorter limits if you have a waiting list.

Play on Paradise Poker

Posted in Casino Tips with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 27, 2012 by admin

I wonder if is ok to play on paradise poker. If someone goes plus in the long run?

Answer 1:

I’m up an unspectacular amount on Paradise ($400+ in 50 hours over seven weeks). The 2-4 and 3-6 seem 100% legit. The 10-20, well, don’t know and I am not going to risk that much when two guys with a cell phone can clean you out. The payouts are DEFINITELY legit (free, painless, and less than two weeks). Be warned though, the 3-6 is about three times as tough as any 3-6 game in real life. Also, they rake off 5.75% when you buy in (bankroll, not every game), but you get $5 credit for every hundred hands you play, so don’t sweat it. I urge you to try the play money tables. But sadly, most players actually try in the money games. I don’t have anything to do with the operators, and this is just personal experience, but I’ve been pretty happy.

Answer 2:

I went up $600 at the 3/6, 5/10 in two days and cashed out. I periodically went back in with a $100 here and there and lost it. I’ve since deleted the software. It’s WAY TOO EASY to rack up a hefty Visa bill, if you ask me. I’m also little untrusting of the integrity. That’s strictly an opinion and only based on my perception.

Answer 3:

I have played at paradise for 6 months now. At the moment I am 2200 $ up. This comes from playing Hold’em the lower limits (2/4 through 5/10). Beware that your opposition gets much tougher if you move om to 10/20. My best monthly result was in April (Up 1530 $ in 50 hrs of play). I have no hesitation in trusting the integrity of the game. Furthermore I am impressed by the service provided by their support department. The shortest time a check has taken from Costa Rica to Oslo, Norway is three days. Considering that Norway, like Sweden, is basically where Santa lives I find that rather impressive.

Virtual Casinos or Online Casinos

Posted in Casino Tips with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on January 27, 2012 by admin

I am a lower limit player (3-6)…what casinos offer the best low limit play??? i.e… Low rake, low seat rental??

Answer 1:

You will find a lot of low limit games. The rake is about the same at Binions Horseshoe, Mirage, and Sams town. The Orleans is higher but has small tournaments. And the others are about all the same. Have a good time and I hope to play a few hands with you.

Answer 2:

I played 3-6 hold’em for the first time at Stardust (double blind) and Circus (single blind). The staff at both places were courteous and professional. The games were profitable for me.

Answer 3:

I would NOT recommend Binion’s. The few times I’ve played $4-$8 holdem there, the players all acted like they were in training for the big games. They were glumpy with NO sense of humor. I tried telling a joke (it was a good one), and they all looked at me like I was from mars. Most of the other Vegas poker rooms are friendly, and the low limit players are having a good time. This usually makes it fun even if you lose.

What Casinos have a poker room?

Posted in Casino Tips with tags , , , , on November 3, 2011 by admin

I plan to make my first trip to Atlantic City within the next month. Can anyone recommend a good place to stay?  I’ve checked the web for Ceasars, Ballys, Hilton, Sands and Tropicana.  They all seem more expensive than what I pay in Vegas, Biloxi, and Tunica. They seem to be going for $150 a night and up.  On my last 2 trips to Vegas I stayed at New York/New York for about $80 a night.  I have also stayed at the Luxor for about the same. If I spend much more for a room I usually find myself altering my play for comps.  Comps are good when you get them but I don’t think you should alter your play to get them. Am I missing something?  Where are the good places to stay?  I will be going on the weekend. At the hotels I usually stay at they give me the Casino rate.  Can I get that just by asking at a Casino I’ve never been too. What Casinos offer the best ODDS for craps? What Casinos have a poker room?

Answer 1:

The poker rate at the Trop is your best value. Contact the poker room for details. Taj is nice, but more expensive. Trop and Taj have the best poker rooms.

Answer 2:

For my $, the Hilton has the nicest hotel rooms in town. If you’re

stuck paying a rack rate, you might as well go stay in a nice, clean room. However, if you are really dead set on finding a cheaper rate, the Hampton Inn on Route 40 is less than a mile from the start of the casinos and has decent rooms.

Answer 3:

Except for special promotions, the room rates at the 12 AC Casino hotels are much higher than in Vegas in the summer. But summer at the NJ shore is peak season and bottom season in the LV desert. Ballys might be relatively cheaper but if you want to treat yourself a little my recommendation would be Caesars (they also have a low stakes stud poker room in the hotel).
