Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
One-Card Poker
One-Card Texas Hold'em Poker In this game, which is sometimes called Lazy Edna or Lazy Mary, each player is given one face-down card. This is the complete hand. The betting is for high-low. Tied hands divide the pot high or low. If a joker is used, it holds rank equal to an ace for high or to a deuce for low. The ace is played only as high.
Show Five Cards
Show Five Cards Seven cards are dealt face down to each player, and each player looks at his cards. At a signal from the dealer, each player turns up one of his cards on the table. Before giving the signal, the dealer should inquire whether everyone is ready. After the cards are exposed, there is a round of betting. After the betting is completed, the dealer gives the signal for the exposure of the second card. All these second cards must be exposed at the same time. The process continues until all players in the game have five cards exposed before them for the showdown. The game is usually played high-low. It is not unusual for a player to change his mind during the game and try for a low hand rather than a high one, according to the cards exposed by the other players.
