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
BETTING VARIATION III
BETTING VARIATION III Often three figures are mentioned in the limits—such as 5 cents, 10 cents, and 25 cents—meaning the player is permitted to bet the minimum amount or up to the second amount until the third and fourth betting round or until an open pair shows. Then he is permitted to bet up to the maximum.
DEALER'S EDGE (VARIATION IV)
DEALER'S EDGE (VARIATION IV) Before the deal starts, the dealer edges into the pot an amount agreed upon, usually equal to the amount of the minimum limit. PLAYER'S ANTE (VARIATION V) Each player antes into the pot an amount equal to the minimum bet, or a larger amount agreed upon by mutual consent.
