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.

116. Acey-Deucey
116. Acey-Deucey This is a form of two-card Texas Hold'em Poker popular in the United States Army. Each player is dealt two cards, one up and one down. He may stand on the cards he is dealt, or at any later time, or he may draw by discarding one of his cards and being dealt a replacement (when his turn comes). If he discards a face-down card, the replacement is dealt face down; if he discards a face-up card, the replacement is face up. If he draws one card, he pays the pot one chip; for a second card he pays two chips, and for a third card five chips. Betting begins when all hands have stood. High card bets, as in Stud Texas Hold'em Poker. The game is usually played high-low. Only pairs and high cards count. Highest hand is two aces; lowest hand is ace and deuce, since the ace is treated as low when the player tries for low (but a pair of aces is never a low pair). Winners split the total pot, including bets and chips paid to draw cards.
