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
Final round of betting:
Final round of betting: Your opponent, Lawyer 5 looks at you and smiles while betting $100. You look at your opponent, feeling a bluff on his part, and raise $100 with gusto. You expect to see Lawyer 5 fold his cards. He casually looks back at you and raises another $100!
Hidden Thought:
Hidden Thought: What do you do? Call the $100 raise, raise him back a $100, or fold your hand? After the first three cards, your opponent, Lawyer 5 bet $10. This player commonly bets $10 on early rounds with Big Pairs (Aces and Kings) to limit his competition. On the second round of betting, he bet $20 indicating he may only have a drawing hand. At this point you felt confident, you most likely had the best starting hand; remaining players would need some good luck to improve their hands to beat you.
